BAHRAIN — This is my first time in Bahrain. That leaves only really Oman in the area that I haven’t been to / worked in. United Arab Emirates? It’s a part of the world that many people can’t (or choose not to) understand. In the last three weeks [...] DULLES – I used to work for IATA. It was one of my first corporate communications jobs. And it was a great introduction to a complex industry. I had grown up in airplanes, so why not see how they’re run? And what a world it was. Largely started by former military pilots out of the Second World War, the business [...] WEST BROMPTON — What is it that businesses really need? They need people to do things quickly and effectively. The equivalent of stocking the shelves each day, to match demand. But less obvious.

KNIGHTSBRIDGE — It’s easy to forget what the world is really like when the newspapers are running dizzying and depressing tales every day. However, it is true that most sizable businesses in the world do not have a solid, consistent or dependable system of internal communications. (Now you may know that we are slowly trying to move the conversation towards “organisational communications” [...] DISTRICT LINE — It’s not really business as usual. Starting a business involves a whole lot more stuff than you expect. It’s not over whelming, but it is a pain in the possum.
