18 January 2012 Can public services learn from the newspaper industry? This week I realised that this metamorphosis of the newspaper industry is in fact a metaphor for Big Society. How many organisations do you know, working in education, health or social care that find themselves facing these same pressures? 19 December 2011 Let's plough the fields and scatter! It is however a time when we need to recognise that nature controls us and not the other way around. We cannot conjure food out of thin air. We have to compromise. 25 November 2011 We need to talk about Terry Find the Terrys in your community. Listen to them and nurture their activism. To create tomorrow’s Britain, everyone needs to talk about Terry! 27 October 2011 Is the fiddler really a rogue? CSR and social enterprise are destined to marry and, in time, it will become an equal partnership. The corporate groom will be well resourced and adaptable. The third sector bride compassionate and able to steer her husband’s endeavours to where they can truly blend social impact with commercial strength. 26 September 2011 Are you lighting fires or counting the biscuits? Becoming more commercial, taking some modest risks and worrying a little less about the rulebook is the only way most will stay afloat. 17 August 2011 Stripes and stars To me, the London riots were symptomatic of how the people are coping with what I call the ‘Big Reality’. We’re at the end of 50 years of affluence and material wealth. 18 July 2011 Ever tried batting for the other side? Both sides have little staff time for innovation and business development. Yet only by finding time to understand each other’s agenda better, can truly sustainable success result. 05 June 2011 Spare tyres and Big Society So, is the demise of the spare wheel a step towards an uncertain future, where risk is re-introduced because it makes economic sense? Discuss. 03 May 2011 Do you like diced carrots? We’re going to see a lot more community shops created over the coming years. Plunkett expect the number of new openings to exceed 40 this year alone. So where’s the supply chain to make them different, profitable and appealing to local shoppers? 06 April 2011 Big Society open or shut? As one door closes another can open; but only if you get everyone involved. To me, this is what Big Society is all about. 09 March 2011 Making cakes or building walls? I suggested that members had to move away from behaving like truck drivers delivering wet cement and start lending their own recipes for success. 09 February 2011 Big Society hot or cold? I suspect that as Big Society slowly turns from political rhetoric into practical reality, we’re going to encounter more controversy.
