Trances and idols

24 November 2013

Euan writes about organisations apparently embracing a slow and willing death. Realising that we are in a trance and breaking out of it, might be the essence of creativity. In our trances, we worship idols. And some pretty ridiculous ones at that. I find it frustrating and hilarious how organisations

Why I won’t be rushing to attend KM conferences

28 February 2013

This is a rant. I don’t rant much on the blog these days as I’d rather be doing stuff I like than railing against things I don’t. But once in a while the provocation gets the better of me. When I read David Gurteen’s post, What is a Conversational Conference,

I really hate panel sessions

31 October 2012

I hardly ever go to meetings that promise a panel format. I was recently reminded why. It seems to me that as humans we are hugely programmed to play together and conversation can be a very satisfying form of play. Somewhere in school or church we all got indoctrinated with

The futility of Q and A

17 October 2010

I’m not saying it’s always a bad idea. But it usually is. I mean the conventional thing we seem to do after listening to presentations: the audience is invited to take part in a question-and-answer session. We’re all so used to it it seems to go unquestioned (ironic, eh?). Sure,

Government reports

2 March 2010

I have a longstanding beef about what I call celebrity government reports. The MO is this: some contentious issue arises in society. The government responds by appointing someone to do a report. The choice of author is often capricious but they’re usually either a Lord or someone skilled at having

Enough crappy conferences, already

9 February 2010

I’m getting to a certain age and I think I’ve been to enough crappy conferences and events in this lifetime. I am all for adventure and risking failure. But I’m also in favour of learning from experience. So I’m not taking too many chances with future events that appear to

Change myths

30 January 2010

This HBR post attempts to evaluate Obama’s record on change management based on a four step model. I’m instinctively wary of models and this one strikes me as typically trite and questionable. The first step is to “make the case for change”, which seems to assume that change is some

Behaviour change, revisited

1 October 2009

Please don’t take this too literally, I just need to get this off my chest. A while back, Mark posted some good provocative challenges to notions about behaviour change. Geoff has just weighed in with some good thoughts of his own. The gist of it is (for me) that huge

Change management and mistaking green for gold

9 July 2009

A few years back, a well-known consultancy business decided to abandon its dress convention of dark suits and white shirts and said folks could dress casual. But quite soon, they decided to make it a bit clearer just what counted as casual and what was unacceptably scruffy. They thought they’d

Bourn impudent

25 October 2007

Warning: bad language ahead. I rarely read newspapers or magazines, but I do regularly pick up Private Eye. Lately, the Eye has done a terrific job uncovering the lifestlye – and that is the right word – of Sir John Bourn. He is the UK’s Auditor and Comptroller General: in
