By rights, the fly-on-the-wall workplace documentary should have died a death the moment The Office became a hit. At that time, BBC shows like Airport, set in Heathrow, and Life of Grime about environmental health workers attracted cult followings with their often banal interviews, wobbly camerawork and acerbic voiceover narrations. Ricky Gervais' masterpiece took these stylistic devices and turned them up to 11 with the fictional Slough-based paper company Wernham Hogg, where “life is stationery”. Since then almost every conceivable place of work has been considered – from registrars to zookeepers and cruise ships to police stations. Airlines, banks, butchers and bakers even a candlestick maker. Their appeal lingers. It's not hard to imagine why: we all work somewhere, we're inquisitive (ok nosey) animals. We want to peer into others' lives, and imagine what it is like, or thank our lucky stars we don't work there.  A question to ask then might be: who in their right mind would invite a camera crew into their business, with unhindered access? With minimal, if any, meaningful editorial control? Quite a few firms it would seem.  Clearly the Corporate Affairs Directors who signs off on this (or perhaps even came up with the idea in the first place) see more upside than down. So. Why would you? And why would you not? And if you do manage to persuade your boss, and your ExCo and your board what do you need to think about? What controls need to be in place? What might cause you sleepless nights?  These questions are answered, and more, on this edition of The Little Questions.

Until the late 1980s, if the subject of engagement was raised at work, it was usually to sign a card and chuck in a quid for Terry in Accounts who'd just popped the question to Mandy in the typing pool. This all changed in the mid 1990s when workplace academics began to opine on the idea that people could become engaged in their work. Fast forward a few years and a whole plethora of large consultancies and HR thought leaders had jumped on the bandwagon. The theory goes that people will invest more physical, cognitive, and emotional energy when their work feels meaningful, safe, and supportive. This boosts productivity, lowers turnover and cultivates a better, positively reinforcing culture. They should also become strong external brand ambassadors. What's not to like? There are clearly critical areas that we corporate communicators can and should be playing. Are we responsible, or important enablers? Where should we focus? How do you drive good engagement? What can we learn from when its gone wrong? Is it something you can measure? These questions are answered, and more, on this edition of The Little Questions.

You can picture the scene - you have spent the last three months speaking to your ExCom and corporate finance team about your company's biggest acquisition to date. This will fundamentally transform the shape and operations of the company, you are raising a large equity and debt package to finance the deal, and your leaders are excited about this next stage for the company. Then, the dreaded happens - you take the call from the journalist, and they have the story. You feel weeks of planning slipping through your fingers, with limited time to respond and stakeholders panicked.  We know from experience that leaking is part and parcel of the communications world.

Vandaag bespreken we het boek The cutting edge van Bjørn Aris. Ondertitel The martial art of doing business. Aris begon zijn carrière bij ABN AMRO en daarna als investment bankier bij Lloyds Banking Group en NIBC. Na een reis door het verre Oosten startte hij een internetbedrijf, welke hij enkele jaren later verkocht. Zijn reis inspireerde hem om Oosterse wijsheden verder te onderzoeken als een manier van leven en wat mensen succesvol in werk maakt. Sinds 2000 werkt hij als spreker, trainer en consultant voor het bedrijfsleven. In zijn lezingen en trainingen combineert Aris zijn ervaring als investment banker en ondernemer met zijn kennis in oosterse filosofieën. Volgens Aris is innerlijke balans tussen lichaam en geest en tussen ratio (linkerhersenhelft) en intuïtie (rechterhersenhelft) de sleutel tot succes. Hiervoor is een ontspannen toestand vereist. Bjørn Aris ontwikkelde op basis van zijn bevindingen in 2004 een methode die mensen helpt effectiever te leren en gedragsverandering toe te passen. Hij koppelt hierbij theorie aan beweging, waardoor de ratio wordt omzeild en nieuwe cognitieve verbindingen worden aangemaakt. De oorspronkelijke titel was De zon komt op in het Oosten (2011), dit werd The cutting edge in 2012. Wij lazen de vierde druk uit 2019. Zijn tweede boek De lessen van een Samoerai dat we eerder hebben besproken uit 2020. Voor mij is er een duidelijk verschil in zijn eerste en tweede boek. In dit boek staan veel algemeenheden zonder verwijzingen waar Bjorn dit vandaan heeft. Meest interessante is het laatste hoofdstuk met suggesties wat we in het Westen kunnen gebruiken uit de Japanse wereld in het bedrijf en als mens. Boek Inleiding Het probleem Wat westerse bedrijven van Japan kunnen leren Japanse kennis - het Japanse zwaard, de bron Hoe word je succesvol? Japanse lessen in de praktijk Nawoord Inleiding Japanse oplossingen voor westerse problemen aan de hand van de Japanse Weg van het zwaard. Het probleem Westers denken leunt op ratio. Door scheiding lichaam en geest (Grieken) en de mens centraal te stellen zijn we de verbinding met anderen en de natuur kwijt geraakt. De hang naar materie is ons aangeleerd en kunnen we dus ook eer loslaten. Belemmerende factoren: conditionering, ego en angst. De geldwereld heeft de verbinding met de reële economie verloren. p15 allemaal problemen in het westerse bedrijfsleven. Inleiding naar volgende hoofdstuk Wat westerse bedrijven van Japan kunnen leren Hier wordt vooral de Toyota Way en het kaizen-principe besproken.  Bijzonder op p27 worden de resultaten genoemd van Toyota - in 2010 - terwijl jaar daarvoor verlies wordt gedraaid en er een terugroepactie is. In het vorige hoofdstuk praat hij over angst als belemmerende factor. In dit hoofdstuk op p29 heeft hij het over de angst voor uitsluiting in Japan en zelfdoding van de Japanse directeur. Klinkt niet als een goed voorbeeld. Bjorn kiest daarom waarschijnlijk voor cherry-picking. Uitleg over Bunsha - Japanse managementmethode. - Zie ook boek Start Up Factory over Haier. De meest natuurlijke manier om te groeien, is door te delen (celdeling). Gecontroleerde groei. Intrinsieke motivatie: verlangen naar vrijheid. Vertrouwen, erkenning en respect zijn belangrijkste waarden voor werknemer. Belangrijkste te doen is goed voor de klant zorgen. Focus op het proces in het hier en nu en niet op het resultaat. In Japan ben je geen ik, maar wordt je ik gevormd door de relaties die je hebt. Management is beheersen van processen en werknemers, leiderschap is juist loslaten daarvan. Japanse kennis - het Japanse zwaard, de bron p56 weer de mooie uitspraken in Japan tussen je 70e ne 80e piek je. Als je inzicht in het leven verkrijgt 10 minuten voor je sterft ben je op tijd. Tot die tijd,... gewoon doortrainen. De vorm is het begin, dan volgt de ontwikkeling en tenslotte volgt loslaten. Bijzonder hoofdstuk.

More than 300,000 people in Britain — from individuals to whole families — do not have a safe and secure home. Some live on the streets. Others are sleeping in sheds or garages or spending the night in their cars. And many, including more than 145,000 children, live in temporary accommodation, which often means a family sharing a single room.  But things don't need to be this way. Lloyds Banking Group and Crisis, the U.K. homelessness charity, are calling for the U.K. to build 1 million more homes at social rent by 2033, an endeavor that will require strong partnership between the government and the private sector.  POLITICO Studio host David Baker speaks to Francesca Albanese, executive director of policy and social change at Crisis, Rose-Anna Hallam, who is drawing on her experience of growing up in social housing as a student of real estate and planning at Manchester University, and Chris Yau, a director in Lloyds' National Housing Team, about the causes of homelessness, the effect it has on all of us and how we can finally end homelessness in the U.K. for good.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Young, female entrepreneurship is on the rise. Two years ago, 17,500 businesses were founded by women aged 16-25, which is 22 times greater than in 2018. Now, 20 per cent of all businesses across the UK are all-female-led. Yet, when it comes to investment, women consistently underperform their male counterparts. Why? And should more be done to support female entrepreneurs? To shine a light on some of these issues is Anneliese Dodds MP, the Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, and Chair of the Labour Party, Jo Overton, the Managing Director for Customer Propositions and Strategy for Business Commercial Banking at Lloyds Banking Group, and Eccie Newton, the co-founder, of Karma Cans, an office lunch delivery company, and Karma Kitchen, that provides commercial kitchen spaces to food businesses.

When it comes to retirement, working out how much you will need to set aside can seem like a monumental task. The average person has between 8 to 10 jobs over their lifetime. People are living longer – with the median retirement age at 65 and life expectancy at 80. What should people think about when planning for their pension? And what challenges do people face? Women are the most likely to suffer from pension inequality, with single women being the poorest of all pensioners. Almost a fifth of private sector employees do not do any pension saving, and a third of people expect to retire with only a state pension. To shine a light on some of the pension inequalities, Katy Balls is joined by Wendy Chamberlain, Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Work and Pensions, Jackie Leiper, CEO of Embark Group and MD of Pensions at Scottish Widows, both part of Lloyds Banking Group, and Lauren Wilkinson, from the Pensions Policy Institute, and co-author of the Underpensioned report. This podcast is kindly sponsored by Lloyds Banking Group.

Viktor Didenchuk: Effective, Protective, Result-Oriented, The Traits of a Successful Scrum Product Owner Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: Effective, Protective, Result-Oriented, The Traits of a Successful PO When describing a great Product Owner and how they work, Viktor focuses first on effective communication; a great PO must clearly articulate what's working and what isn't to the team and stakeholders while fostering a reflective environment. Secondly, protection is essential; they must safeguard the team and product vision amidst constantly evolving technology, resisting the urge to chase every new trend. Finally, being result-oriented is vital; a great PO has a clear understanding of the desired outcomes and end state of the product. Viktor encapsulates this with the mantra, "It's always the leader who is wrong, and it's always the team who wins." The Bad Product Owner: The Blind PO, Focusing On Short-Term Requests Instead Of The Overall Product Vision Viktor discusses a common anti-pattern in product ownership: the 'blind PO' who lacks a clear vision. This type of PO is overly preoccupied with politics and managing stakeholder requests, neglecting the broader product vision. They often focus solely on satisfying immediate customer demands, which can work for some but not all scenarios. This approach can lead to team demotivation. Viktor emphasizes the need for POs to reflect, ask probing questions, and truly 'own' the product, considering long-term goals and the product's overall direction, rather than just short-term customer requests.   [IMAGE HERE] Are you having trouble helping the team work well with their Product Owner?

In this episode, Viktor discusses the transition of his company's focus from an enterprise-centric product to a SaaS offering. The main challenge was establishing an incident management process for the new product. The team sought inspiration from industry giants like Google and Netflix, creating a rulebook and testing the process in real-time. They used OKRs for regular review, gradually involving more staff. Stress factors for users were identified and addressed, including establishing a dedicated Slack channel. A critical hurdle was motivating people to participate, recognizing that incentives vary across individuals. The solution included designing benefits for those managing incidents, acknowledging that the role isn't suited for everyone.   [IMAGE HERE] As Scrum Master we work with change continuously!
