An online notebook
So in my last post I discussed the idea of the shared CDO – a chief digital officer who works across a few different organisations to help them transform their services and working practices. One of the first tasks facing…
Emerging technologies and new ways of working bring with them new jobs, and new roles. One of those is the ‘chief digital officer’ or CDO. I’ve always been an advocate of organisations having a senior member of staff who has…
A quick administrative note. If you can see this post, it means that my blog has successfully rehosted. Apologies for any inconvenience – if you spot anything not working, broken links and so on, please do let me know.
Curating content online is a fairly hot topic these days – information overload being what it is, folk tend to like it when someone spends a bit of time picking the wheat from the chaff for them. It doesn’t have to…
I recorded this a little while ago to go alongside some other training and consulting work I was doing at the time. I basically explain how to plan out digital engagement work to ensure it is most likely to succeed,…
I’m a massive fan of the writing of Ben Thompson – and so should you be. The analysis he provides on his blog is superb – and it’s free! Interestingly, he also provides extra content for a fee – a…
I had a good time presenting a webinar this morning about managing online communities. As always, I recorded the whole thing for your infotainment:
Rich Millington from Feverbee gave a great talk at the MozCon event on building communities that people actually want to join. Lots in here that I have been discovering myself lately around creating a shared mission, and a sense of…
I had a very interesting time at the Digital Evolution unconference and networking evening this week – wonderfully hosted by the Tinder Foundation and Google and with the irrepressible Will Perrin at the helm. Sadly I couldn’t make it to…
The podcast is back, BACK, BAAAAAAAAAAACK! I’m joined in this episode by Esko Reinikainen, of the Satori Lab. Here’s a link to download the original mp3 file if you would like to do that. If you would like to…
I’ve done a fair bit of councillor training on digital in the past. Every time it focuses on social media, digital engagement and how members can use the web to interact with the public. It usually goes away, people have…
So yesterday I ran the ‘what next for digital engagement’ web chat. It went ok. You can find out for yourself by checking out the archive of the chat. In the end not that many folk turned up – but…
Thanks to the top people at Learning Pool, here’s a great video of Donald Clark talking about learning theory through the ages.
Apologies for the light blogging of late. I’ve just been super busy and – if I am honest – a bit lacking in inspiration. Anyway. I’m starting a new online community based around people like you: folk who read this…
I was invited by James Cattell the other day to accompany him to a meeting to talk about what the best community software platforms are. I think we rather disappointed the people we talked to, in that neither of us…
It’s been a while since I’ve run a live chat, so it’s probably a good time to do another. As for a topic, I think it would be really interesting to have a look at digital engagement and where things…
To make things happen, it helps if you have opinions. Apple are a great example of a company that has opinions. They express those opinions in their products, and like most opinions, some people don’t like them – but that’s…
This workshop will equip anyone involved in digital transformation and channel shift projects with the skills and tools they need to deliver fantastic results. Book your place now! The workshop will be led by the needs of those attending, focusing…
When I delivered the Civil Service Learning digital engagement for policymakers course with Steph Gray, Steph put in a really neat slide which explained that different people have different needs from any one engagement exercise. Some people are happy to…
We’re probably due an update, not least because people keep asking me about VirtualGovCamp – and one of main topics people are querying is how on earth this thing is going to work. To reiterate some of the things I…
