RBS: big losses, big bailout 09:09am on 26 Feb 2009 This is a pig of a business. You wouldn't lend to it if you were RBS.
Not knowing the size of potential losses... was there any risk management processes in place at all, or was it just window dressing to placate the FSA.

Big up Sir Fred though...he may not have been able to pick a good deal / time to buy another bank but his personnal contact is a work of genious.
Daniels sacrifices bonus 09:59am on 11 Feb 2009 Who writes these contracts? Performance related?
People keep talking about performance encouraging risk taking, looks more like it's just a way to pay people huge sums no matter what their performance is.
Is Apple recession proof? 1:30pm on 22 Jan 2009 Surely the App Store and iTunes are driving a the revenues too? Is this where Apple actually has a competitive edge?

Future innovation has got to be key, fundimentally it is buzz and great products that drive sales inall their range. No exciting new products, no buzz, does the shine go off and profits drop too. Or will music and app sales hold the thing togther?
A lesson from tech hell 12:02pm on 16 Jan 2009 Great post to start a debate. I have worked organisations that deploy technology well and awefully. The defining contribution to these outcomes is a vision of "where this is all going" and having different tools for different process.

The use of IT can hinder interaction and I can see a use for a blackboard or (low tech)white board for ad hoc learning along side more powerful multimedia type tech.

I have been experimenting with collaborative Web 2.0 tools for remote teams and they can get in the way of trully colaborative work. A group around a table, post it notes on a board or standing around a white board produce much better results. Much to the consternation of those who control the travel budgets.

So I think there needs to be an understanding that hi tech and low tech have there place. Do not prescribe too much and let them find a way to use it all.
We are the banks 12:42pm on 24 Dec 2008 Another post that has spawned great debate.

Following the disparate views and good and bad comments for the post few months has been very entertaining.

Keep up the good work all of you!

Merry Xmas!
