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 [...] October 13th, 2009 | Tags: blogs, change management, organisational communication, social media | Category: change, channels, press releases, social media | Leave a comment
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 [...] October 6th, 2009 | Tags: channels, internal communications, media, social media | Category: channels, creative, social media | Leave a comment
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? /df September 3rd, 2009 | Tags: organisational communication, people, press release, social media | Category: Policies and practices, change, channels, press releases, social media | One comment
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 [...] August 20th, 2009 | Tags: internal communication, organisational communication, social media | Category: Policies and practices, change, channels, social media | Leave a comment
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 [...] August 19th, 2009 | Tags: Add new tag, culture, internal communications, organisational communication, social media | Category: Policies and practices, change, channels, consulting, creative, social media | Leave a comment
I am excited about an event that I am running with Neville Hobson tomorrow. He’s already blogged on it. And, being Neville he’s put it on Twitter and created a hash-tag and all. So, if you are social media savvy you can follow along. We were plotting today a bit and it was clear that our [...] August 18th, 2009 | Tags: employee engagement, organisational communication, social media | Category: channels, social media | Leave a comment
LONDON — There’s a website associated with Antony Gormley’s latest artwork. The ‘work’ is called ‘One and Other’ and it’s strangely addictive. It is a programme for 2,400 different people to stand one hour on the fourth plinth over the space of almost 3.5 months. Have a look at the site. But I warn you, [...] July 12th, 2009 | Tags: change management, culture, organisational communication, people, social media | Category: change, channels, silly, social media | Leave a comment
PARSONS GREEN — It’s a question that journalism students ask. And indeed I had to answer when I was a news desk copy editor at a tabloid owned by Robert Maxwell in the 1980s. I’m not sure I always like the answer. H1N1 (that ‘killer’ flu thing) Surely Avian Flu was bad. But this is worse. Isn’t it? Well, [...] July 8th, 2009 | Tags: culture, diversity, organisational communication | Category: change, channels, silly, social media, the future | 2 comments
SOUTHWEST LONDON — We have been entering the lottery for Wimbledon for 10 years. And we got our first tickets this year. I just opened to see we are about 7 rows back, near the net. So it should be even better than I had hoped. I’ll take my phone along and update Twitter on odd [...] “MySpace today announced its intent to restructure its international operations and refocus personnel around a smaller number of territories, while retaining a robust global consumer presence.” That’s what News Corporation’s MySpace said in their press release yesterday. According to the Flesch-Kincaid reading ease measures that sentence requires about 15 years of formal education to understand it. The average age of [...] June 24th, 2009 | Tags: change management, layoffs, organisational communication, social media, Values | Category: Policies and practices, change, channels, social media | Leave a comment
