In keeping with today’s adopted persona, I am suitably behind the curve on trying out Twitter.
We’ll, I’ve signed up and had a bit of a faff with it, I’ll now set my subconscious on thinking of internal comms applications for it.
I was very interested to see how organisations are using it - particularly Downing St.

Wow! This is a management, PR & Internal Comms case study in the making. I can see this being on the CIPR course next year…
The thing that stood out most for me though was the amount of coverage pointing to underinformed and poorly trained staff - from issue with the [...]
Thinking about writing about How very dare you????
This is really just a place holder. It’s to remind me to carry on thinking about Liam’s question.
Should you throw your hands up in horror and stalk out of the building crying “I can’t help you - you’re all doomed!”?
The answer to this, as Liam quite rightly points [...]
Note: the Accountant referred to is not Himself!
The difference is in the understanding of the word Clarity.
1.
clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding; freedom from indistinctness or ambiguity.

Writing about He Knew He Was Right
I am making my first venture into Trollope having been inspired by A Round-Heeled Woman.
And it reminded me of how intransigent people can be in their relationships with other people - and why.
A brief plot synopsis can be seen on Wikipedia - but what it doesn’t cover is the clever [...]
Adapted from Well, Everything has to Start Somewhere on our work blog.
And more than that, to quote Jane Magé (a former boss):

I went to rather a depressing conference last Wednesday. And it left me feeling like this <=
To cut a long story short I had not chosen wisely. Whilst the topic seemed relevant and appropriate the audience at which it was pitched did not really include me.
The other attendees and the presenters were almost exclusively [...]
Stuart Brown was asking yesterday “Is Internal Communications an art or a science?”…
I was thinking about this on the way in this morning. And the closest analogy that I could think of was photography.
Now, in this analogy (which I think works on a number of levels), photopgraphy is an art - but in order to [...]
(Sorry, couldn’t resist it.) I am very much enjoying Channel 4’s Chicken Season so far and have booked the sofa for Friday night for the Jamie show.
One of the most interesting bits for me however has been watching the supermarket and farmers’ PR reactions.
Yesterday, for example, I received a letter from Judith Batchelor, Brand Manager [...]

Well, when is an Early Day Motion not an Early Day Motion?
Today David Willets, the Shadow Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities & Skills, will put a motion opposing the withdrawal of funding for “equivalent or lower qualification students” to the House of Commons.
We are wondering whether this has led to the [...]
