Overcoming Obstacles for an Outstanding Gala Event

The European Business Awards' 2012/13 Gala Event will certainly be one to remember. The sudden unrest in Istanbul was just one of the hurdles that the EBA Events team needed to overcome in order to host this prestigous night, but they pulled it off and even managed to secure a live video feed so those people that didn't make it to the event could watch from home and find out about the winners in real-time.

RSM World Day

Our partners, RSM, are celebrating RSM World Day today. RSM World Day click here

It is a day focusing on the importance of connection, and connections.So the 32,500 staff in the 700 offices all over the world will be taking part in a range of  initiatives to celebrate the connections within the network - connection between staff, member firms, clients and community.

It is a great idea and interesting to see the diversity of the activities that the individual firms and offices have engaged in. These range from redecorating the house of an infirm person in the Cayman Islands to organising a blood donation day from staff in the Yemen, volunteering at a nature reserve to protect the kiwi, the national bird of New Zealand, through to visiting the Great Wall of China.

I am sure there will be some very positive outcomes from today and wish RSM member firms well with all their initiatives.    

Performing Regardless - Business and the Paralympics

I was kindly invited to be a guest of BP at the closing ceremony of the Paralympics. Before the ceremony, BP organised Tanni Grey-Thompson and Chris Holmes two very successful British Paralympians to speak about the games and sport in general.
 
In a subsequent exchange with Luc Bardin, BP’s Group Sales and Marketing Chief, we both agreed the significant message that Chris delivered and that of the Paralympics, was to think about what we ‘can do’ rather than ‘what we can’t do’.
