So many surveys. So many workplace prophets. Still so much uncertainty… Call me an old cynic but everywhere I turn there’s a continuous stream of webinars extolling the virtues of stripping out desks from the workplace in favour of turning empty space into a huge greenhouse or living wall with lounge chairs and on tap […]

RIP ICT
premium
RIP ICT Labs. Predicting the future of technology remains as difficult and unexpected as ever. As Bill Gates famously said, ‘We always over-estimate the change that will occur in the next two years and under-estimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction’. Over the last ten […]

What’s In A Name

What’s happened to job titles? Once upon a time they were purely descriptive and about positioning within an internal structure but now it seems we are undertaking some bizarre word association game and trying to avoid telling others exactly what we actually do. I have over the last couple of years noticed that standard design […]

Culture of flattery is insidiously pervasive. So on this the 93rd day of lockdown and isolation, we have finally been given a date for some business re-openings and a relaxation of distancing rules, which seems to have focussed primarily, on those two seemingly socially important, cant live without services, the purveyors of alcohol and stylists […]

More a concerned teacher realising the class aren’t fully grasping the exercise they’ve been set, type of problem… and it’s been annoying me for the entire duration of the lockdown. Working within […]
