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...

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...

Back in the studio this week, after last weeks flying visit to the UK for the BCI World Conference. This weeks show builds on one of the themes I spoke about at the conference. The idea of Praxis.
Today we are going to hear about a classic case where academics and practitioners have worked together to combine their efforts and produce a tool for day-to-day use, that is informed and designed from sound theoretical roots, then verified and improved by a number of research studies.
You will also her about one persons journey through the field of critical infrastructure protection and into the mainstream of thinking and practice around Organisational Resilience. There is also a special offer at the end of the show, so keep listening as we talk praxis, resilience and health checking - with Peter Brouggy.

Last week at the BCI Global Awards Peter was named as an Honorary Fellow of the BCI for his work in promoting and building resilience in Australia. Congratulations Peter!
He has also agreed to be available on the Black Stump LinkedIN community for those who want to discuss the Health Check tool. If you have feedback or questions about how you might use this tool - jump into the discussion and engage Peter. But don't leave it too long, this offer is limited to the next couple of months.
Perhaps you would like to explore the idea we discussed about the Health Check being means to promote the conversation around resilience - and that can be a way that you demonstrate and promote thought leadership on the subject.
As always if you find this show helpful, a review or rating on iTunes would be appreciated. This week we are at #56 in Management and Marketing and it would be great to keep moving up the charts.
Thanks for listening, and I hope you will join me next week for the Black Stump Book Club - talking about "Addicted to Performance" with John Bircham.
Until then, take care on your journey.
