This was a good challenge: to take a pre-recorded webinar (including Q&A) and turn it into a magazine and web article. Good fun, though, and I learned a new word: over-boarding. Enjoy…

For Influence magazine, I chaired a roundtable discussion about the impact of AI on the media and, in particular, public relations. The discussion featured a fascinating insight from the Press Association/Urbs Media’s new RADAR automated journalism project. Here’s my write-up…

The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) has a vibrant Companions network, which meets regularly to discuss the big issues in business. Recently, a senior-level group met to discuss organisational purpose. Here’s my write-up plus a video I co-produced with the excellent Sarah Rowland. A satisfying piece of multi-channel journalism…

Here’s a piece I wrote off the back of that, examining some of the wackier ideas for creating a productive culture…

In the spring of 2017, I got the chance to interview Professor Yuval Harari, author of Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow. This is a mind-bendingly interesting book, and I relished the chance to talk to Professor Harari.

Here’s the full interview, which was originally published in the winter 2017 edition of Professional Manager, the Chartered Management Institute magazine.
