HEAR WHAT OUR EXPERTS HAVE TO SAY
This morning I heard Thabo Mbeki say something that is very familiar to us. In addressing the high salaries that councilors of local government earn, sometimes higher than his own, Mbeki explained how skills come at a premium in the municipalities … they get...
Inc magazine, July 2005, tells a great story of how one UK company, Cambridge Consultants, gets their employees innovating (read it here). They actively encourage their employees to pursue business ideas. They give them time to develop the ideas, and give them...
My colleagues and I spend an awful lot of time in other people's companies. We often only have a few hours with these companies, as we work with them at their conventions and conferences. These are not "typical" moments in the lives of most companies, but they are...
The other day someone commented that they were worried about me because all I seem to do is work. I don't see it like that at all. I think I do understand the concept and have a definite control over what I do . I do work from a virtual office and maybe that does...
I work in the most un-sexy industry: earthmoving & construction. But every now and then our dead-brained-earthmoving-sludge of a culture shows the progressive world up. This month we are having our workshop audited for ISO implementation and accreditation. As a...
Change This is a website started a year ago, which aims to get people interacting with high level thinking - rather than just taking up their corners and jousting to the death. Their website says: "In the old days, we had the time and inclination to consider the...

Anyone else noticed the 'twitchy' behaviour of South African Mobile Phone Operators (specifically MTN and Vodacom) They're on the offensive with adverts around their cheap calls if you use your phone betwen 17:00 - 20:00. Who uses their phone during this time? Dinner,...
With many bad experiences of flying having made their way on to this blog I thought I’d relate some of the excellent service I’ve recently received from Singapore Airlines.Check-in was fairly fast at all 4 of their flights I took – enough counters Movies, ice-cream, food, newspaper, in-flight internetI’d definitely choose to fly with them again.
Are you "Linked In"? A friend here in London added me to his list and then another invitation from a friend in SA popped into my email inbox and then I invited an ex-colleague in Germany ... and so the network grew! What is www.linkedin.com all about? In short, it's a...
Today, the pumps in New Orleans started up again. The levees are being repaired, and the USA can start pumping the water out of the 60% of New Orleans that is still under 3 to 6 feet of water. The 10,000 odd people who are refusing to leave the city are being warned...
I picked up a post (more of a rant) by Rich...! at the always entertaining Jo'blog site referring to Microsoft SA's recent "Women in IT" website launch. In essence the site is a community platform for SA women either interested in, or working in, the IT field....

This evening marked the first of what I hope will be many insightful, interactive "real people" meetings for what has become known as the TomorrowToday.biz Talent Community. Much has been said and done electronically leading up to this point, as the Talent Community...
I wrote yesterday about some of my random musings about the chaos in New Orleans. One of my points was that this shows how the media might be treating African-American (I am from South Africa, where "black" is an acceptable term) victims of the hurricane. Well, if you...
Here is a great book review by a good friend of mine. I wonder if we shouldn't be looking more to parenthood and children (maybe especially teens) for some lessons on how to deal with the Bright Young Things in our companies. Raising Adults By Jim Hancock Summary by...

Vikas Kumar, in The Economic Times, has written an excellent article on talented employees. Read it here. A few quotes: instead of you choosing your employee - and this one's going to be pretty hard for most HR heads and CEOs to swallow - the brightest get to choose,...
