This week, I’m a par­tic­i­pant in Mark Jones’ highly regarded pod­cast, The Scoop, a part of the Aus­tralian Finan­cial Review’s MIS­Aus­tralia sta­ble. I met Mark at the recent Pub­Camp events in Syd­ney and Mel­bourne, and we’ve been chat­ting online occa­sion­ally since.

This weeks’ show fea­tures me, Lau­rel Pap­worth, Michael Specht and C-​​level types Mal­colm Pas­coe, for­mer CIO of Good­man Fielder, and Bob Hen­nessey, Finan­cial Ser­vices Man­ag­ing Direc­tor at Bear­ing­Point and for­mer CIO of AAPT.

We spent a vig­or­ous 30-​​odd min­utes talk­ing about con­nected work­ers, the value of social media and social net­work­ing in busi­ness includ­ing attrac­tion, engage­ment and reten­tion gains, cus­tomer rela­tion­ships, the infor­mal organ­i­sa­tion and more.

You should def­i­nitely have a lis­ten if this sort of stuff inter­ests you. The input in par­tic­u­lar from the CIOs was very valu­able, and incred­i­bly open to the posi­tion Michael, Lau­rel and I shared.
