Here’s part 2 of my podcast conversation with Annette Clancy and Matt Moore. You’ll find part 1 here. Our chat about the shadow side of organisations branches off here into looking at the role played by Knowledge Management (and Human Resources) in organisations. What part do they play in managing

Not computers and not children but rather like chimps

6 July 2007

I keep meaning to write a long, well-argued rant against a basic assumption in much corporate thinking: that we’re all basically computers on legs that simply need reprogramming to achieve excellence. Excellence in this context, is a little hard to distinguish from conformity. I suppose it would then go on

What’s in a logo?

4 June 2007

The new logo for the 2012 Olympics has been launched accompanied by the customary list of contrived quotes about what it allegedly conveys to people. These always sound as daft as wine critics finding notes of rhubarb and spinach in a glass of plonk. For instance, Tony Blair says, “When

Enough moralising, already

14 April 2007

In the Guardian, Jonathan Freedland says The revolutionary public space that online debate represents is in danger of becoming stale and claustrophobic It’s a longish piece that is a bit like one of my terrible college essays, on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand, but the overall message comes out, sort of, at the end: Right

1 April 2007

Oh dear I’m still feeling a bit ranty this morning. Perhaps this will exorcise my demons? Here is a draft code of conduct for this blog. 1 If you look thatat the entire content of this blog you’ll get some notion of how I conduct myself. It varies a bit.

Some professional communication

10 February 2007

James Byford posts about the link up between Technorati and Ogilvy. James raises some good questions about what it means. I find the comments Technorati make about it depressingly full of hype and jargon. To start with, could we be spared the sycophancy of saying Ogilvy are “one of the

One Word Equity

23 June 2006

James posts about Maurice Saatchi’s thoughts on the future of advertising. Saatchi’s article is tucked away behind the FT paywall. James critiques it very well. Essentially Saatchi says advertising is dead (on the same day his agency is running… er a two-page ad about itself in the broadsheets here.) Saatchi

Winer wars and the trouble with lawyers

25 March 2006

I’m way behind on my blog reading after my holiday so I’ve only just caught up with the hoo hah over the battle between Dave Winer and Rogers Cadenhead. I found out via Stowe Boyd’s thoughtful post: What we can learn from Scoble’s lament which I highly recommend whether you

Barclays spends £5m on trivia

3 February 2006

Oh dear. Since last October I have managed to avoid posting in my Dr Rant category but today I am unwilling to hold back. According to the Daily Mirror, Barclays Bank is spending £5m “changing the way it talks to customers”. The bank plans to revamp all 1,500 branches, ditching

Now, where’s the thought?

30 October 2005

Barclays’ latest TV ad sets a new low standard for the bank. Davidreviews has a stream of it here. It’s a fantasy in which a young executive creates a debit card that can be made to vanish at a touch. This he explains to a colleague makes it theftproof. So
