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...

info_outlineG'day this is Ken Simpson and welcome to episode 27 of Beyond the Black Stump.
This episode is being released on a Thursday because of the Easter weekend. Ordinarily the show would have been on the last Friday of the month - so it must be time for Book Club.
If you haven't caught up, Book Club is a monthly feature show we you are encouraged to read a book. My fear is we do not read enough, it this is an attempt to encourage wider reading. (And no, the latest article on Continuity Central, DRJ, Continuity Insights or Continuity magazine does not qualify as either a book, or reading widely).
Normally for book club I would encourage you to pour a glass of wine and settle back to listen. For my guest today I would suggest he might prefer to be offered a "nice cup of tea" instead.
Our author today has produced four books, which is a fairly major piece of work. In addition he has been an active blogger in the industry for many years - and he has a unique and entertaining style. With 20-odd years of experience in the BC and risk fields he is also very well qualified to write, advise and comment.
He is currently runs his own consulting practice, Acumen, servicing an international client base. So join me as I chat about books, blogs, bit buckets and Barney with Andy Osborne.
...
I hope you found that useful, building on a theme that has featured through recent shows around exercising and building capability. A little more on that issue next week too.
All of Andy's books are available for online purchase and there are links in the show notes.
Andy has generously offered all listeners a free copy of his eBook "Ski Boots and Celery", to secure your copy all you have to do is send him an email at [email protected] - dot try to write that down while driving, the link is in the show notes. Don't forget to tell him you were listening to the show.
As always if you find the show valuable it would really be appreciated if you left a rating or comment on iTunes. You can also feel free to recommend all your friends and colleagues to subscribe and download the show.
I hope you get the chance for a break over the Easter weekend, and don't forget to use that extra free time to read more.
Until next week - stay safe on your journey.
