Fun fior Fredag
OK. It’ll most likely be Monday by the time you get this but what the heck; a leadership team ran over. Sue me.:-) The mails have been a bit serious of late, so it’s back to weirdness and fun. We’ve had a few client requests about enriching the recruitment experience, so I’ve been looking across […]
Friday fun from Farringdon
One of the areas we have been considering with a few clients is how to get more out of the plethora of roadshows and fairs that are the staple diet of recruiters. One possible approach is to shift the fairs online, which is what recruiters have been testing with Job Fairs in Second Life (I’ve […]
New life, old mistakes
As the global economic forecast continues to look grim, it is inevitable the people will seek solace in the fantastic. What better way to escape the mundaneness and pressure of real life than to immerse yourself in a world where you are unencumbered by the pressures and fads that drive our daily routine? Of course, […]
Fuzzy logic for Friday
Two themes this week. The first two sites are centred on increasing our broader strategic understanding of issues in the channels, disciplines and verticals within which we operate. Might not appeal to all of you, but Client Service should definitely take a peek. The other two sites were things I came across that got me […]
Friday thoughts
A couple of newbies this week. One that cropped up while I was touring New Zealand and one that cropped up when I was prepping for a meeting with GSK this week. The other two just caught my eye. Enjoy A Picasa (http://picasa.google.com/)Anything that Google acquires has to be good and this doesn’t disappoint. Picasa […]
Homeward Bound..
So, the past few days have disappeared in a flurry of wedding-related activities, BBQs and trips to the beach. As I am now on a 52KB modem, I can’t upload any photos, so you’ll have to take it from me that the weather was fantastic and the occasion was even better.I asked Will what he […]
Day 13: Let’s Offroad!
We woke up this morning to a beautiful view of Lake Taupo and the sun shining. Was the tide turning? Only time would tell. After another shower (you’ve got to take the opportunities when they arise, don’t you?!), we cooked breakfast and then set off for Waitomo Caves. Dave had been working through the maps […]
Day 12 – crossing the Cook Straight to North Island, then up to Lake Taupo via Napier
Today saw us depart the South Island for the last time (for this trip, at least) and head on the ferry to Wellington and the North Island. Not much to say apart from the crossing was very uneventful (aside from Will making two new friends, while watching Nancy Drew. Don’t ask.) We then drove up […]
Day 11: Panning for Gold in Buller Gorge and on to Havelock – home of New Zealand’s finest green lipped mussels
Waking early to yet more rain (a continuous theme) we decided to head back down the road to Buller Gorge to pan for gold. The start of the jounrey was ominous – a walk on a rope bridge (well, it was metal actually) across a steep gorge. I wasn’t sure that Will would make it. […]
Day 10: Summer Bay to Waipara Vineyard and Hamner Springs
So, its actually the 9th January and I’m writing from a terminal in the North Island, but this is the first internet cafe we have come across in the past 3 days. No photos (haven’t had a chance to upload them), so bear with us.The first leg of the trip involved a visit to Waipara […]
