null It’s an intranet Jim, but not as we know it!

Yesterday saw me battling my way across London despite the tube strike, to head up to Birmingham for CommsCamp15. It was well worth the effort, as I found myself inspired and enthused by the conversations. Congratulations to Dan Slee, Darren Caveney and Emma Rodgers and all the other supporters for a really well organised day. It’s hard to pick out key highlights of the day – aside from the... See more

null Digital vs. physical - how digital can enhance your customer experience

I think most people would agree that January can be quite a depressing month. What with diets, fitness drives, no alcohol (for some!)... And yet, a hardy bunch of souls turned out in a decidedly chilly Manchester for the first Digital Leaders North West meeting of 2015. Our subject – digital retail: how can small retailers cope in a digital world? Turns out that the lessons are completely... See more

null 7 pearls of wisdom

I will make my apologies now that none of this blog is my own material. However I make no apology for sharing it – as I hope it will be useful for others. In fact, I'm grateful to the hugely inspiring Richard Reed, Co-founder of Innocent Drinks, who delivered an enormously enjoyable, humble and wise speech at the InnovateUK conference yesterday, and from whom all of the following pearls of...

null A warm welcome in Wiltshire

It’s not often you go to place and feel a sense of wellbeing and community spirit the moment you enter the building, but that is exactly how I felt a couple of weeks ago when I was privileged enough to visit Wiltshire Council as they hosted an ITW Networks event. An Ipsos-MORI survey earlier this year revealed that 79 per cent of people trust their council to make the right decisions about... See more

null What can we learn from Gordon Ramsay about employee engagement?

Gordon Ramsay’s reputation in the kitchen is that of a tyrant, someone who shouts, swears and is generally pretty unpleasant to his staff. Not necessarily conducive to good employee engagement you might think. Well, indeed, I would not advocate all the shouting and swearing, but I’ll say one thing for him; he at least says it how it is. No messing about, no lack of clarity, complete... See more

null Whose responsibility is employee communication anyway?

Today I stumbled across an interesting discussion on Twitter: #nzlead. Turns out it’s a tweet chat that happens every week on a Thursday, originating in New Zealand, but generating responses internationally. (Worth a look if you’ve an interest in HR, internal communications or organisational development and are ever available at 8am on a Thursday – or check their website for write-ups.)... See more

null Alphabet soup and other stories

A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend a storytelling workshop that included a talk from Shawn Callahan, Founder of Anecdote, a company that uses the power of stories to help change organisations. OK, OK… I know what you’re thinking… “What on earth was she doing listening to stories all day rather than working…?” But just hold on a minute… That day reaffirmed what I have realised... See more

null Sing while you work

Did anyone catch that fabulous programme on BBC2 a couple of months ago – The Choir? I’m sure many of you will have heard of Gareth Malone and his work with the Military Wives choir. Well, his most recent programme covered workplace choirs – basically gathering together a bunch of people who could sing in a range of well known organisations and turning them into amazing and very...

null Involving and evolving

I had the pleasure of attending a very interesting Melcrum member event last week, which aimed to explore how delegates could maximise the strategic impact of their internal communications with limited resource. For me the main themes of the day centred on two words: Involving – engaging staff with the business so they are motivated to go the extra mile and in turn become more productive.... See more

null From bonsai trees to biscuits – how do we create healthy organisations?

It’s a good question and one that was addressed by key private sector business leaders Brian Dive, Managing Director of DMA Consultancy and Anthony Thomson, Chairman of Metro Bank this morning. The session, chaired by Chris Johnson, UK Human Capital Leader at Mercer, aimed to draw parallels between the work of councils and some of the UK’s largest companies in reducing workforce costs...
