Entrepreneur cubed



I was thrilled last week to hear that Poppyfish was to be featured in a couple of online profiles at the new web community "entrepreneur cubed" (available now) and through the University of Hertfordshire Business School. (week commencing 15th October).


About e³

Entrepreneur cubed - or e³ for short - is an online business magazine designed to encourage and build a community of existing and aspiring entrepreneurs. Founder Chris Hutchings allows a growing group of entrepreneurs (his term - I still don't believe that I have quite earned that label) to tell their story through a series of short interviews. Through e³ Chris is building a growing community of business founders and owners and offers them a great place to raise awareness of their brand/company.

We wish him every success and are glad to be part of that community.

My Dad gave me a calendar yesterday. It was one of those desktop ones on which every date there is a new ‘thought for the day’. I’m not really sure of the theme, Dad had used a few days of it himself so the cover was long gone. In general I suppose the quotes, most which are attributed to 'great thinkers' throughout history,would be considered as ‘life tips’. Not my dear old Dad's cup of tea at all, hence the handover. He knows me well. It's off to a good start. The entry for the 12 th April reads: “ We never do anything well until we cease to think about the manner of doing it ” and is attributed to William Hazlitt. I googled Hazlitt to assess his credentials for such a statement. A contemporary of Wordsworth and Coleridge, Hazlitt was a philosopher, journalist and essayist in early 19 th century Britain. According to The Hazlitt Society he became the first major drama critic in English, the first major art critic, and one of the most gifted literary and...

Business Continuity as a form of OD

Is Business Continuity a form of OD? It's a bit early in the week to wire up  "The Cogitator" and consider the world of OD through my own particular lens, but as I am delivering a Business Continuity decision making exercise this week I wanted to stop for a moment to consider the connection between Business Continuity and Organisational development. Does BC = OD? Simulations provide a key opportunity for learning and offer an opportunity to analyse decision making in a safe environment and are an excellent tapestry for personal development, yet few relatively few organisations choose to run decision making exercises for this purpose. In the field of L&D overall simulations tend to be niche areas, and not always regarded as the first option. I find this rather thought provoking, especially when the role of simulations is so well established in some other areas of organisations. Take for instance the field of Business Continuity. Business Continui...

Critical Incident Timeline. Are you prepared?

Image
Understanding how a critical incident develops can help us to know what to expect when an incident happens for real. So far this year there have already been a number of high profile critical incidents affecting organisations. Most recently the escalation of the Algerian hostage crisis has been a major news story. Last week, the first ever helicopter crash in London sparked a critical incident that, whilst more local in impact, was headline news and impacted organisations caught up in the maelstrom of unfolding events.   Studying how the news unfolded in this stand alone tragic accident can help us to assess the realism of the timelines in our own continuity exercises and critical incident simulations. In this blog post I present a timeline for the helicopter incident and briefly discuss critical incidents from an organisational impact perspective. Building the timeline What I have done below is to build a timeline of the helicopter crash incident, as best as I have been ...
