There are some facts that, quite without warning, suddenly make sense of something vast. For instance, in a shop yesterday, for me, the recession was put into perspective. I got talking to the guy behind the counter and he let slip the fact that even...

It’s been a hell of a year – literally, if you’re one of the many who have lost your job. Here’s hoping for better news for the economy and the employment market in 2011. In other news, while Europe’s laboured under the most torrid time economically since...

HRD: The Definite Article

It’s not often you meet someone and have no idea who they are. Especially if you still have no idea after meeting them. That kind of thing usually happens only if you have spectacularly poor conversational skills or, to be topical, are squished into a...

As offices start to become a thing of the past – with most people working from home, from hot desks or dialling in from their surfboard or local cake shop – we’re at that point where architects of workplaces really need to indulge their imaginations in...

You Are About To Become A Leisure Industry

It’s bound to happen. Over the next ten years, the workplace will fade away. So will the conventional working day. Output will be all: but workers will work flexibly, at hours that suit both them and the business, often from home or from hot desks which...

My seven year-old daughter said to my wife the other day: ‘Darcey’s Daddy is a policeman. That’s important. I wish my Daddy did something important. He just goes around.’ Three things occurred to me as a result. (1) How do you explain ‘I engage HR Leaders...

One Man’s Struggle against the Forces of Geography

I defer to nobody in my respect for Google Maps . They are the Stephen Fry of online signposting: all-knowledgeable, permanently available – and the bits you don’t understand are almost certainly all your fault. Bearing that in mind, last week’s adventure...
