Sharing the platform with Bob Geldof
We have a ‘business 2 business’ event here in Coventry, England where Bob Geldof, musician, businessman and fundraiser extraordinaire is speaking. It is a two-day event and they expect an attendance of some 2500 company directors over this period.I got the chance to speak because my topic is ‘transforming executive performance in the knowledge economy’. The knowledge economy and its impact on UK plc is a red-hot subject right now. Newspapers, magazines, radio and TV, everyone is talking about it. And with good reason. BRIC countries, namely Brazil, Russia, India and China are regarded as very serious competitors for the foreseeable future.
Only thing is that with all the talk about Web 2.0 and the internet phenomenon, it is easy to forget that whatever the organization, whatever the sector, wherever it may be, it is still only people that can deliver excellence for customers.
My question for Sir Bob will be ‘How do you reconcile the need for ‘Best Practice’ in organisations with the reality of organisational politics?’
