BELGRAVIA — It’s sometimes worth pushing your chair back and having a moment to think.
What do you make of this picture (above)?
It’s from this week’s media and is a photo of the Argentina football team coming home.
I love it for all that is obvious about it. And also all that is incredibly weird about it. [...]
PARSONS GREEN — There’s a lady in a business suit sitting reading The Guardian. The Media Guardian is tossed on the bench beside her. Untouched.
It’s maybe symptomatic of a larger issue. And then again maybe I am just getting old. [Cue rant.] Why do the media need sections dedicated to… the media?
I find myself hanging [...]
HOME — I used to have a Klingon cookbook. No, it was Lt. Uhura’s Cookbook. But there was Klingon it it. That was in university. More than 20 years ago.
I never cooked anything from it.
Are you kidding?
But I moved it from dorm to dorm and house to house. I thought its simple existence was funny [...]
CHELSEA — I realised yesterday that I have not lived in North America for more than a decade. So it’s hard for me to fully understand what companies like Verizon and Comcast are all about. But even from this distance it’s clear they’re having trouble with service delivery.

GREEN PARK — There’s plenty to be joyous about at the start of a new year. And it’s not just the FTSE rising to a 16 month high, the pending snowstorm in London, or [...]
MARBLE ARCH — I was visited by a charming man from Brussels yesterday called Hugh. We had a nice chat about PR, communications and change management. We talked about schools in Kenya and wine in Kuwait and real estate in Cirencester.
When it came to the subject at hand — work — Hugh blushed a bit [...]
LONDON — There seems to be quite a bit of excitement out there about Google Wave. Here’s a blog I was sent to earlier today. Look how many comments there are in a few hours.
There’s a lovely short video here too that will show you what Google Wave is all about.
To me it looks quite [...]
LONDON — I am delighted to see that people are still talking about last month’s CommsFlashMob.
Liam and his buddy Paul have both written about it recently.
It seems like maybe the CommsFlashMob should keep on rolling.
Ideas?

LONDON — A few of us got together in one place today and made an effort to quickly update the “Internal Communications” page on Wikipedia.
We learned a lot in the process.
All tolled there were 28 amendments made to the page, and more are still being made now. Some people watched. Some emailed, texted and tweeted [...]
LONDON — It started as an idle comment on Twitter. Either Rach or Lee started it. Well, actually Wedge started it… Maybe I should start again.
Anyone interested in social media and communications will know that Wikipedia, while fantastic on the marriage of Britney Spears, is not so great on topics like Internal Communications.
In fact, the [...]
