http://unthinkablethinking.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 4 December 2013. A Culture of Openness – Essential for Survival, Key to Growth. Ask five people what they associate with ‘ a culture of openness. 8217;, and you may well get five quite different responses. For example:.

With views of employees actively invited. Even less than that? In a different context, just look at ...

Thinking the Unthinkable: Can you ever have too much of a good thing?
http://unthinkablethinking.blogspot.com/2015/03/can-you-ever-have-too-much-of-good-thing.html
Monday, 9 March 2015. Can you ever have too much of a good thing? When your organisation may not want high ‘engagement’. If you read this, then chances are you work for an organisation that uses some form of tool to measure Employee Engagement. You yourself may even be quite involved with the measurement and analysis itself, in which case the mantra ‘High Levels of Engagement are Good’ is likely to be firmly etched on your brain. Because what may be happening is that your (average) score is ‘proppe...

Thinking the Unthinkable: Engagement is dead, long live Engagement
http://unthinkablethinking.blogspot.com/2016/04/engagement-is-dead-long-live-engagement.html
Monday, 18 April 2016. Engagement is dead, long live Engagement. It seems that every 5 years or so, a discussion emerges as to whether Employee Engagement, and actively trying to improve it, is still a ‘live’ concept, or that it is dead in the water. Looking at forums, such as those on the business networking site LinkedIn, suggests it is that time again. Likewise, so I would suggest, is the intention to look after your employees’ engagement. No longer working on employee engagement projects on a daily b...

Thinking the Unthinkable: November 2015
http://unthinkablethinking.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 4 November 2015. Nice To See You, To See You, Nice! It wasn’t actually that long ago when many of us had regular get-togethers with colleagues from other parts of our organisation, often held in a central, off-site location. And no, we didn’t always enjoy these meetings that much: the journey could be tiresome, location uninspiring, agenda too full; the list of ‘groans’ is potentially endless. Hello Singapore, can you hear us? Just read that again! People to miss part of the programme. Why?

Thinking the Unthinkable: October 2014
http://unthinkablethinking.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 14 October 2014. Using employee data – it really isn’t rocket science. And yet, ask a random (senior) manager in any organisation – large or small – what they learn from their people data, and the answer is likely to be: “What do you mean? Is (employee) data really that difficult to understand or interpret? Or do we tend to MAKE it difficult? Or just BELIEVE it is difficult? This information than effectively using it. 8211; your questionnaire should reflect what your business stands for and want...

Thinking the Unthinkable: July 2011
http://unthinkablethinking.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, 30 July 2011. Shooting from the Hip. I recently caught up with a friend who I hadn’t seen for some time. When I asked how he was doing, his response was ‘I am just so ridiculously busy. Priorities change almost hourly, there are just not enough hours in the day.’ You wonder where he works? For a relief agency dealing with famine in Africa maybe? A fire fighter dealing with massive forest fires? Or News International’s PR agency? Why do organisations often show such poor discipline when it comes...
