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...

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...

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...

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...

G'day this is Ken Simpson and welcome to Episode 16 of Beyond the Black Stump. And welcome to the first official Black Stump Book Club episode!
 
This month we are exploring "Addicted to Performance" by John Bircham and Heather Connoly. My guest to discuss the book is John Bircham.
 
John will be a familiar voice, and name, to those who regularly attend the World Conference on Disaster Management in Toronto. His sessions there are always presented to a full house. He will also be well known for his contributions to the development of resilience thinking in Australia and at home in New Zealand.
 
Grab yourself a drink and settle down as we explore "Addicted to Performance".
 
[spp-player]
 
Thanks for listening, let me know if the book club idea is helpful. Are you motivated to read John and Heather's book? Did you go and read Phil Wood's book last month?
 
If we want to grow the BC discipline into a wider field - such as resilience - then practitioners need to broaden their focus and their knowledge. Reading and critical debate are effective ways to achieve this.
 
If you want to discuss "Addicted to Performance" come and join the community on LinkedIn. That is also where you need to be to discuss the Resilience Health Check with Peter Brouggy.
 
As always a review or rating on iTunes would be much appreciated.
