Deep Dive: The Common Operating Picture Paradox

🎧 This week on Unbreakable Ventures

In this solo deep dive, Ollie Law examines the Common Operating Picture paradox and why New Zealand still lacks a truly integrated national system for disaster response.

Using Taiwan’s world-leading disaster management platform as a reference point, the episode explores how communication, technology, and community preparedness combine to dramatically reduce loss of life, and what happens when those elements remain fragmented.

Drawing on real events, system failures, and international comparisons, this episode challenges the idea that planning alone equals preparedness.

In this episode, we cover:

Why Taiwan’s disaster outcomes changed after system failure, not policy debate

What a real common operating picture actually looks like in practice

How early warning, predictive modelling, and shared data save lives

Why fragmented systems quietly erode public trust

How delayed implementation compounds national and economic risk

Key takeaway:Resilience is not built through reports or roadmaps. It is built through integrated systems that work under pressure and communities that know how to act when they do.
