USA offers great photo opportunities. This is in part due to
the integrated National Park system
that has allowed easy & universal access from the days of Ansel Adams to
the present.
From the home of Capitalism it is
perhaps very telling that it would legislate against any commercial
exploitation of one of their country’s most important assets: natural beauty.
Over the course
of more than 150 years, a once-radical idea has evolved into a cohesive
national parks system, with a sometimes conflicting two part-mission: to make
the parks accessible to all and to preserve them for future generations.
Is there anything else we could
learn?
Why has the might of McKinsey
not been able to privatise some of the US National Parks? Should there not be
Time Shares in these most beautiful of places?
Could our National Health Service
be like the US National Park?
Providing world class medical care
to all and preserving it for future generations!
California has Yosemite and it is
also the home of Kaiser Permanente.
It is
amazing how planners often overlook the most important aspect of why an
organisation such as Kaiser Permanente is a success. We need to now look at why
Kaiser Permanente is such a success. New York Times
