Many folk I know have been discussing their 2009 challenges and victories and looking forward to what 2010 has in store for them. I’ve felt the need to at least review and refresh, but knew I had to get my thoughts in order first.
This post is just a first pass at doing so for me [...]

Rethink. Reimagine.

February 27, 2009

I gave the opening keynote yesterday at Michael Specht’s HR Futures conference. Michael asked me to speak on the recent trip I made to the US to attend TED and reflect of the experience, what I learned there and it’s applicability to business and HR.

We helped Journey Beyond Road Trauma conceive and implement the right functionality and usage rules for their online community that seeks to tell the stories of the families left behind and at fault drivers in road death [...]

If only companies in Australia hired this way! I would certainly have been inclined to work for a business that thought like this rather than striking out on my own.
SHIFT are taking a position that recognises explicitly the power and value of an employee with a strong personal brand – their value to the company [...]

The person is embarrassed and feels a little shellshocked as far as I can tell. They are new to the Australian recruiting scene, but have experience elsewhere. I [...]

This is the first of my posts from the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston. I plan to do small, summary style posts with my opinion. I will also provide links that point back to the core content on the conference website.
There’s a backchannel that everyone can participate in, whether or not they are at the [...]

There are also a bunch of smart 2.0 [...]

Engagement

January 27, 2008

in featured

Thanks to my Melbourne-based compatriot, Michael Specht, I have seen this video from McDaniel Partners on the issue of employee engagement.

Riffing off the incredible Miniature Earth, it delves richly and poignantly into the lives of the people you work with every day.
It’s an unfortunate fact that most organisations simply have no idea how to engage [...]

Like my friend, Jasmin Tragas, I’ve put my name forward as an author to contribute to the 2008 version of Age of Conversation.. The original version was published last year by Gavin Heaton and Drew McClellan and included input from 100 authors. It’s a great read! And supports a great cause, with 100% of [...]
