At the intersection of business, communication and technology. And shiny new objects.
Philip Sheldrake‘s new business book Attenzi is published today. Earlier today, I published an FIR Book Review of it as I’d had the opportunity of reading it prior to formal publication. I don’t do many book reviews these days – our FIR Book Reviews Editor, Bob LeDrew, does an admirable and far better job – [...]
Over the weekend, I read the best essay about public relations agencies and their potential future that I’ve read in a very long time. Penned by Paul Holmes – he of The Holmes Report and the SABRE Awards – “10 Ways To Design The PR Agency Of The Future” offers a compelling vision of how [...]
