You stroll into work one morning without a care in the world, you fire up your computer, get yourself a coffee and then settle down to work. You decide the first task of the day is to finish the report you started yesterday and go to open the file you saved last night. You find that the file won’t open, it’s still there but it just refuses to open. You then try other files you were working on yesterday but they won’t open either.

AlertMedia is changing mass notification into useful communication.

We’ve all been there. You’ve been given a pile of dry content and asked to create a compelling eLearning course. You’re determined to create something more engaging than the same old course that learners quickly click through, but how do you take this “boring” content and create something relevant and engaging? Many instructional designers will say, “Boring in means boring out.

There is no bigger incident to comment on this week than the typhoon in the Philippines. Our thoughts go out to all those who have been affected by it and those who have lost loved ones. The devastation seems immense having seen the pictures on TV. As I watch the news it seems at last that aid is getting through to all the affected areas. A few comments… 1.

The news this week has been dominated by the horrific events that unfolded at the Nairobi Westgate Shopping Centre in Kenya. At least 72 people died, including many innocent civilians, as a result of a four-day siege by Islamist Militants. The building is now nothing but rubble after three of its floors collapsed following a blaze. Government forces finally brought an end to the tense stand-off after days of battling Al-Shabab fighters.

Two incidents have caught my eye this week. One is the closure of the Grangemouth petrochemical site in Scotland. The dispute centres around the owners Ineos claiming that they are losing £10m a month. They want to renegotiate the workers terms and conditions in order to turn around the lossmaking plant and make an investment of £300m to modernise it.

In October, scientists discovered that 75% of patients who experienced brain fog had a lower quality of life at work than those who did not. At best, brain fog makes you slower and less efficient. At worst, your performance and cognitive functions are impaired, resulting in memory, management, and task completion problems. In this entertaining and interactive presentation, Chester Santos, "The International Man of Memory," will assist you in developing life-changing skills that will greatly enha

This week I thought I would discuss what I think is a missing part of the business continuity life cycle. It was brought home to me when I conducted some crisis management training on Monday and then again when I conducted a major exercise on Tuesday. The new business continuity life cycle starts with ‘analysis’ or understanding the organisation, as we used to call it, and then goes on to ‘design’ (strategy).

In the Southern Ocean everybody can hear you scream! This morning I heard a news item on the radio about Russia seizing the Greenpeace ship, Arctic Sunrise, which had been protesting about Russian oil drilling in the Arctic. The crew of 26 activists had been held at gunpoint and then detailed by Russian Security Officers… On the BBC website it was saying that this incident might turn into a very awkward diplomatic stand-off.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been watching the protests in the UK at Balcombe. The protest group “No dash for gas” and an assortment of others are protesting against Cuadrillia’s rig which is carrying out frack test drilling. This response to ‘fracking’ and its’ dangers, (or not) seem to be polarized and passions on the subject are strong!

I was on holiday recently taking advantage of the very good weather we were having in the UK. When you get hot sunny weather in Scotland you have to get out and take advantage of it! I almost missed the news about the horrific train crash in Canada, in which the train rolled down into the centre of the town of Lac-Megantica, derailed and exploded killing some 50 people and destroying the centre of the small Quebec town.

A small Canadian town was devastated last month by a train explosion which killed at least twenty people and left a further 30 missing, presumed dead. The accident happened when a runaway train, carrying 72 cars of crude oil, derailed and burst into flames in Lac-Megnatic in Quebec. The tragedy has had a catastrophic effect on the local community. At least 30 buildings were destroyed and 2,000 residents have fled their homes.

The smog, caused by slash and burn in nearby Indonesia, has resulted in smog covering the whole of Singapore.
