The one that didn't get away...
3 Feb 2010 | 5:03 amThe Dip is a concept you see every corner you turn. We recently signed a number of large scale contracts with significant organizations. Not an easy thing to do. In fact - it took over a year to sort out. A year of trials, reference checks, small starts, false starts, meeting up and down the food chain, and tests of how well we reacted to specific situations. It is so similar, in so many companies, that you start to realize that this isn't an accident. It's The Dip The road in is filled with enough twists and turns that would discourage smaller and less focused businesses. You need… -
What they need to know...
1 Feb 2010 | 5:51 amIn just about every area where you have to convey your thoughts in print it is wiser to restrict yourself to what they need to know. Whether it is a CV, a quote, an end of engagement report or a marketing handout. Every time there is an urge to add a little more detail or explain every nuance , and every time it has the exact opposite effect. Instead of providing a more complete picture it clouds the issue. Instead of showing clarity it actually reduces the likelihood that you will get your point across. I have always found that placing yourself in their position, and then writing… -
The iPad and the secret of PR led advertising
28 Jan 2010 | 9:30 amEver notice that Apple's new products are greeted with almost blanket coverage and buzz, even without publishing their first advertisement. When Google was beginning it shunned advertisements in favor of a PR led approach. Even today I cannot recall ever seeing an ad for any of Google's products except the Adwords ads they run. And just in case you missed the whole concept of trying to be the news and not the ads, have a look at the current PR blitz that Seth Godin has unleashed ahead of the release of Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? (Already #15 with a bullet on Amazon) How… -
5 must do strategies for B2B marketers on LinkedIn

But not the salesy stuff. real updates based on where you are, what you are doing, your current thoughts on... 2) Make sure you have real recommendations from people who can speak authoritatively about your work and ethics.

Audiobook review: Free Prize Inside!
27 Jan 2010 | 9:30 amThis is the first in a series of posts that will review audio books from Audible.com. I discovered audio books about a year and a half ago and it has dramatically changed my life. I used to read a book every 4 - 6 weeks, today I run through two to three audio books every week. Learning is the best way to leverage dead time, and audio books are the best tool for that I find. I now look forward to the drive out to see a client, or a flight across the country! (Imagine that!) So I am going to work as hard as I can to evangelize everyone else! It is only fitting that I start this series by…

“You buyin’ that iPad doo-dad?”
5 Feb 2010 | 7:49 pmRedbean - It has been interesting listening to people discussing the iPad in the past week or so with the conversation revolving around “would you buy one?”. One group mockingly think of it as a large phone and mime putting this large device up to their ear which always gets a good laugh. The other group tries to extrapolate down from what they do on their laptop today and wonder what it will be like to use a screen keyboard and where will I save my documents? etc. Both are genuine concerns of course but both have missed the point of the iPad. I first spoke in public of this… -
Grappling with Failure
20 Jan 2010 | 4:47 pmRedbean - My work is about helping organisations change - for the better. And when we embark on any change program, personal or organisational, one of the first issues we have to come to grips with is the possibility of failure. Failure in the sense that you didn’t meet expectations, or you couldn’t sustain the change, or you implemented poorly or you just made some errors of judgement. That is failure is relative. You might have got close. You could be way off. Rarely do we meet or exceed all our expectations so failure is always present in some form. What I have found from… -
