Building change-ready teams

Think back on your career. How many teams have you been a part of that were really high performing? You’ll be lucky to have worked with three or four in a 20-year career.
YSC Consulting recently launched a new piece of research on how businesses can build high performing teams that will support company performance in the 21st Century. As the authors point out, the paradox today is that ‘leaders…

The PESO model shows just how much the PR sector has to play for
@ginidietrich's PESO model shows just how much the #PR sector has to play for
If you spend any time thinking about the current and future scope of PR and communications, you’ve probably already made use of Gini Dietrich’s PESO model. If you haven’t, it’s well worth a look as a check list of the different ways that you could be communicating your stories and messages.
Gina launched the PESO model in 2014with the idea that ‘communicators do more than media…

A report on 'The Truth Spectrum': Fake news, disinformation, & propaganda
Thoughts on #fakenews from the #truthspectrum hosted by @qz @GA_London @TechCity UK
Last week I went to an evening event on fake news hosted by Quartz, General Assembly and Tech City at the Moorgate WeWork space (a brilliant space for events and free to use). It pulled an interesting digital, media and news crowd.
The three panels explored the history of fake news in science and how social networks, filter bubbles, and selection bias have created a media ecosystem where the…

Predicting the future of marketing
I am now blogging here on the Beagle! http://www.beaglepr.com/
Building engagement and communities is not an easy task for any PR professional. Corina Manea shares some helpful tips.
It's the latest effort to return caregivers to full-time employment.
The ‘returnship’ is a really interesting concept - would it work in some form for schools looking to trial and find great talent that wants to return to teaching? Here Fortune reports on how six tech companies will begin offering 18-week paid internships for mid-career professionals who want to get back to the workplace after taking time off to care for a child, parent, or other loved one.
Queen Street Gardens
I am making an effort to get out of the office at lunchtime to see the local quirky sights of London. Today I went up the road to Queen Square Gardens outside Great Ormond Street Hospital. Laid out in 1716, it features this statue of a queen - Charlotte, Anne or Mary II - there is much debate about who it really is.
And some poems in the paving stones to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977. I liked this one from Philip Larkin:
'In times when nothing stood,
But worsened or grew strange,
There was one constant good,
She did not change.'
Wrong Tom Glover
LinkedIn Connections states that I have today been commenting on UK electricity subsidy reform in the FT... Er, no. Wrong Tom Glover. Interesting disclaimer at the bottom of the email: 'LinkedIn does not guarantee that news articles are accurate or about the correct person.' This could become a real problem for people and needs to be a lot smarter.

CEOs simply have to be on Twitter
“Despite the wave of companies flocking to create a presence online, most would be surprised to know that of the world’s largest companies, only 14% of CEOs are using social media. Even more surprising is that a significant number of social media accounts created by CEOs very quickly become dormant. Research reported recently in the Financial Times found that two-thirds of social media users in the UK believed that a company is trustworthy if its executives are active on social media. Furthermore, 71% of those who took part in the study believed that executives using social media dramatically raised awareness of their brand.”

Six excellent rules for meetings from Percolate
When you sit down for a meeting at the Percolate office in New York you are confronted with a framed poster that strongly suggests you take the time to ‘talk about meetings.’ And I think they have it just about right.
1. Do you really need a meeting?
2. Meetings should be 15 mins by default
3. No spectators
4. Have a purpose, state it up front
5. Make tasks, assign them to people
6. Don’t bring computers or phones
The only one I struggle with is ‘no computers or phones’ as I live by Evernote, but I understand the importance of everyone being ‘present’ in a meeting.
How do you run effective meetings in your business?
This week TechCrunch wrote about the burgeoning interest in Latin American ed tech. Companies like Pearson have long had an interest in the region, investing in the Brazilian K12 and English Language Learning. However a renewed investor interest in the region seems to be fuelled in part by a broader global demand for new skills for a quickly evolving workplace, combined with the region’s relative lack of traditional education infrastructure and the need to find alternative, scalable and digital learning solutions. With 600 million people there is plenty to play for and the opportunity for effective digital education to make a lasting and meaningful impact.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper.

4 key questions teachers should ask edtech startups
Teachers and edtech startups gathered in London on Saturday for the first TES Labs Live event. Organised by TES Labs and Emerge Education, this was a lively meet up organised to help facilitate better communication and feedback between startups and teachers on the front line of education.
Peps Mccrea, an award winning teacher, research and social entrepreneur, asked the teachers to think about the most important questions to ask the entrepreneurs present and on future occasions:
How is your product better than what currently exists?
What is your measurement of success?
What is your business model and plans for growth? Is your business sustainable?
What problem are you trying to solve?
What would you add?
