BBS037 - Intangible skills, key to future employablility and promotion, with Cheyene Marling
Beyond the Black Stump
G'day, this is Ken Simpson and welcome to episode 37 of Beyond the Black Stump. Do you live to work, or do you work to live? My guess is that most fit into the later group. So altruistic ideas around awareness raising and learning good, but show me the money! My guest today is well positioned to advise on the return on investment for our personal learning and development. She runs one of the better known recruitment firms in the BC/risk field and we discuss the skills and expertise that employers are looking for. The company she founded, BC Management, also...

BBS036 - Reflecting on awareness, in the rear vision mirror
Beyond the Black Stump
G’day this is Ken Simpson and welcome to an overdue episode 36 of Beyond the Black Stump. Last week I was hit by the podcaster’s nightmare scenario - sore throat and coughing. Not a good sound, so I spared you the experience. But I still wanted to share my thoughts about BC Awareness week and how we go about trying to promote the discipline. My thanks to the small number of practitioners who reached out and wanted to share views on this year's events. So Business Continuity Awareness Week has come and gone for another year, and my Awareness Challenge for the month of May has ended. The...

BBS035 - Finding the passion, and a new voice, for the future. Sarah Kara.
Beyond the Black Stump
G'day, this is Ken Simpson and welcome to episode 35 of Beyond the Black Stump. Our May podcasts are all about awareness, not just making others aware of BC - but ensuring that we increase our awareness of other disciplines, the world around us - and how these things are changing. This week my guest is a young, female practitioner. While those two attributes alone make her rare in BC circles, she can also claim another rare attribute of being a second generation practitioner. Listen in and perhaps become more aware of the thinking and expectations of the new generation. You may become more...

BBS034 - Awareness and the Value of Ideas with Andrew Scott
Beyond the Black Stump
G'day, this is Ken Simpson and welcome to episode 34 of Beyond the Black Stump. The podcast for the risk. Continuity and resilience communities. Links in this show I had every intention of recording live conversations at the Australasian BC Summit this week, but it wasn't to be. I actually had to miss the second day of the Conference due to client commitments. Despite only having one day at the conference I thought I got value from it. The great thing about value is that it has meaning only "in the eye of the beholder" so to speak. What value do you put on a new idea? Learning about...

BBS028 - EM in Middle Earth and embedding vulnerability into the culture - Karen Stephens Pt1
Beyond the Black Stump
G’day, this is Ken Simpson and welcome to episode 28 of Beyond the Black Stump. ...
info_outlineG’day, this is Ken Simpson. Welcome to Episode 8, and the second month of the show.
During October the focus of the shows will be on a few specific examples of what people are doing, how they are changing their approaches to reflect more resilience thinking.
At the end of these shows I am going to try to “hack” what these folks are doing - try to distill what I saw as the 2-3 key tricks, shortcuts, skills or methods that seems to separate these practitioner from the rest. Stay tuned to the end and see if you agree with me!
My guest this week will be well known to the Australian community, but probably little known internationally. He was awarded Public Sector Professional of the Year in 2015, and his team also won the Team of the Year Award in 2015. They also won the Team of the Year at the inaugural Australasian Award in 2013 - and again in 2014.
He has recently had an article published in the Journal of Business Continuity and Emergency Planning entitled “How to build a successful business continuity team”. I think we are a good chance of learning something about building successful teams today.
He is the Director of Business Continuity Management at the Australian Taxation Office - the equivalent to the Internal Revenue Service in the USA, or island Revenue in New Zealand and other countries.
Sit up and pay attention as we explore beyond the Black Stump with David Porter.
Did you agree with my hacks on David and the ATO team? What was your take?
Come over to the Black Stump discussion group on LinkedIn and share your views with the rest of the audience. Who knows we may even find David Porter in the group and willing to answer those questions you wish I had asked him.
If you want some additional material to help you on your journey, and to build some of the management and interpersonal skills - subscribe to the free Resilience Ninja Newsletter. You can find that at Resilience.Ninja or there is a subscription box on our Home page.
As always if you would take a few minutes and leave a rating or review on iTunes that would be fantastic.
Next week is another practitioner taking his own unique road to resilience.
Until then, remember that resilience is a journey - not a destination. Safe travels.
