11 June 2019
Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster Anyone who has watched HBO’s Chernobyl, aside from feeling extreme empathy for the harrowing human impact, will know the frustration of watching the chain of decisions that resulted in catastrophe.

Diversity – it’s not just about the ladies

28 February 2019
Increasingly, women are making inroads into male dominated industries, but little emphasis is placed on men catching up in female dominated industries. Companies can’t be selective about where to push for equality – it should be happening across the board.   Nursing – From Sisters to Charges   In the US in 1970, only 2.7% […]

29 November 2018
GUEST POST FROM KEVIN CONNER, FOUNDER OF DIGITAL EXITS. Please see profile below. Remote work is growing, and for good reason. For business owners, a remote workforce is much more affordable.

The Democratic Workplace: what can business leaders learn from the election?

09 April 2015
We’ve seen Cameron and Milliband get the Paxo treatment.  We’ve had the Leaders Debate between the Not-So-Magnificent Seven.  Insults and handbags are being thrown between the leaders on a daily basis.  What’s to make of this leadership behaviour?  And what are the best ways for leaders to communicate their vision and build a following?

Democracy in action: what does the future of work look like?

24 March 2015
Recently, I watched a BBC documentary series on life ‘Inside the [House of] Commons’.  It was a fascinating peek into the workplace of our democratic union. And boy was it depressing.

The Democratic Workplace: what is it with leaders and debates?

11 March 2015
Despite his Flashman like appearances at the Despatch Box, David Cameron seems shy of the live TV debate.  Perhaps he’s fearful of the Clegg-mania that erupted on the eve of the last general election.  Or maybe he just doesn’t want to look out of touch… Which is why so many leaders either avoid putting themselves […]

To hear the employee voice requires mechanisms which go beyond an annual […]

The Democratic Workplace: coalitions, culture and collaboration.

08 January 2015
Five years of coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.  The first of its kind in recent history.  And if the pollsters are correct, we are likely to see another uneasy political partnership (between whom, we don’t know) in the next parliament. Coalitions are in many ways part and parcel of the workplace.  While […]

The Democratic Workplace: giving power to your people to transform from within

07 January 2015
Welcome to 2015. This year marks the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta, the cornerstone on which modern democracy is built. And somewhat less prosaically, it’s also the year which will see Cameron and his Bullingdon chums battling it out for political supremacy in the House of Commons. The OED defines ‘democracy’ […]
