Laugh and the world laughs with you…

4, Mar 2011

Usually writing a mail about innovation is simple this time of year, as our imaginations about the ‘next big thing’ are fuelled by the technical wizardry that is on display at the world technology fair (known as CeBIT). Unfortunately, this year sees a multitude of variations on the tablet theme, alongside numerous pontifications from the [...]

Standing out from the crowd

22, Oct 2010

One of the points I tend to make when asked to futurecast about where the recruitment industry is headed is that entire process of recruitment needs revisiting. There tends to be a lot of focus on innovation in the channels that are used to reach candidates, as well as engaging new approaches to communicating brand [...]

Weekend words

17, May 2010

It’s been a while since my last Friday mail, so I used the hiatus as an opportunity to revisit some of the concepts that have been brought to the fore over the past two and a half years. Not for the purposes of nostalgic self-congratulation, but principally to see how much further things have come. [...]

A veritable smorgasbord of digital delights

31, Dec 2009

There aren’t many people around today, but I thought it would be fitting to end the year with a Friday Mail: it’s a collection of sites and activities that cover topics that have been discussed and reviewed over the year; a veritable smorgasbord of digital delights. Have a great evening tonight and a Happy New [...]

The art of presentation

4, Dec 2009

It has been a pitchtastic couple of weeks, with the prospect of more to come. As a result I have been looking at ways of introducing greater levels of engagement in the way we present our work. The other week, I cited PptPlex and Presi as a couple of great tools and having played around [...]

With neither rhyme nor reason

7, Aug 2009

Sorry. No AR this week – I’m too busy writing up a workshop on Direct Sourcing. So instead, we have a back to basics mail on a dull and dreary Friday. No theme. No reason. Just a world of web weirdness. Enjoy P.S. Unlike some of the emails that have been doing the rounds today, [...]

Rock the nation!

3, Jul 2009

There was a lot of publicity around the recent blocking of social media sites by the Iranian government in an attempt to limit the publication of adverse news on the Iranian elections (I like this blog’s view). More recently, the Chinese government has decreed that all new PCs come equipped with PC screening software in [...]

Real-time information sharing in action

26, Jun 2009

World news has been completely overshadowed by the death of Michael Jackson. The YouTube vid above is an interesting way of seeing how quickly the information was picked up on Twitter and then became a Storm. As an interesting addendum, MJs videos have stormed the viral video charts, to represent the entire top 20. Odds [...]

Domino’s debacle postscript – all publicity is good publicity

21, Apr 2009

Following on from the recent escapades of two (now ex) Domino’s employees I have been trying trying to follow up on whether either the damage to the brand has actually impacted the share price. The clip was posted on April 15 to You tube. Over the day, views on You Tube increased as follows (all [...]

the price of fame

17, Apr 2009

It’s been a week of surprises; both on the populist culture front and on the business front. First, we saw Susan Boyle shoot to instant stardom, courtesy of a breathtaking performance of ‘I dream a dream’ from Les Mis on Britain’s Got Talent, which was immediately uploaded to YouTube and has already attracted over 17.5 [...]
