What has been keeping me away from blogging
Blogging seems to have taken a back seat in the last couple of weeks. I was in Auckland last week helping a law firm with their talent management strategy. My colleagues at FPO collected the anecdotes and we ran a sensemaking workshop. This week marks the beginning of some new community of practice work and the Introduction to Narrative Techniques workshop in Canberra. The workshop is fully subscribed and I look forward to meeting everyone on Wednesday.
Mark Schenk, who has just started his new business called Dialogue, and I are also working on an occupational health and safety project using business narrative techniques. Congratulations on your new venture Mark.
Keep an eye out for my latest paper which will be on how to align brand promises with customer service. If you are an Anecdote subscriber you will be the first to be notified of its availability.
