LONDON -- How does ''1.3 billion people'' sound for an internal audience? Worth digging out a budget for?
The Chinese Olympics this summer have been a great success. By anyone's measure. We are still in the 'good news glow' in the final days. Undoubtedly the world will rush back in after the closing ceremonies and ...

DORVAL, QUEBEC -- I saw my friend Jonny this week. We've been friends since we were 15 years old. So that's... a long time. And he's a very smart guy. Kept me from being kicked out of school a few times. Still keeps me laughing. But he's got no email. Doesn't understand it. Doesn't believe in ...

GASPE, QUEBEC -- I've always secretly wanted to carry around a sign that says this. And maybe now is my chance. But it's not the end of the world that I am thinking about today. It's the end of this blog.
In a few weeks I am leaving Hill & Knowlton. There has been no real formal announcement but I am suspecting ...

SOUTH WEST LONDON -- On Friday night I stood on a chair in our sitting room watching Jay-Z on Friday night with Jonathan Ross. I was on the chair because we have mice passing through. But the image is not unconnected.
I was surprised to see Mr Z in person and hear him talk and laugh. He did well on a show that ...

English is a key business language, but doesn't belong to native speakers
We use jargon to hide or in a poor attempt to impress
We rely too heavily on ...

We set these up to be a meeting of ...

AT HOME -- Just looking through Wikipedia for some information of a few topics close to my heart. And I am still stumped.
There have been articles recently about how companies must not edit their own pages on Wikipedia. I think Jimmy that Wikipedia-ubermaster has said it must not be allowed.
And a few months ago I was named ...

NUMBER 14 BUS -- This morning I read that Citigroup have post-merger remorse. Maybe it wasn't a good deal after all? The $166B merger that was roundly approved and hailed as the sign of great things to come 10 years ago.
I call this the business equivalent of blaming the equipment.
If Citibank and Travelers -- both ...

MONTEE DE LA TORRE, ANDALUCIA, SPAIN -- It's 10 o'clock and my rotten kids aren't in bed yet. In fact, we haven't even fed them. Maybe we have taken this whole Spanish thing too far?
But it's easy to do.
The sun is out. The air is sweet. And the day starts slowly... We've been lunching at 4 or 5 and so dinner ...
