I created this blog primarily as a way of improving my writing, and as somewhere to jot ideas to share with others.
I’ve now posted over 90 articles over the last 2 years or so, and it’s interesting to see what others think.
Most Popular
Pizza. Mmmmm.
Well, my most popular article so far has been “Anyone for a Metre of Pizza?” and it’s been viewed by over 850 people. I think that just says that lot’s of people are interested in Pizza. Especially in gigantic portions.
Next up is a more industry-related article “The Future’s Bright, The Future’s Orangeries”. I suspect a lot of people have found that during their research into buying an orangery.
Then, interestingly, is my article about “Small Giants” – businesses who would rather be great than huge. I was pleasantly surprised about that one.
My Favourites
A couple of articles I’m really proud of, although very few people have read them:
“Can I put Your Name in Lights?” was inspired by a neon lamp demonstration case I saw for auction in the US.
“Icebergs are Hard to Copy” is all about an organisations culture, and how hard it is to copy the “deep” values within that organisation.
“Recruitment as Marketing” describes our recruitment process which we’ve developed after 15 years of gradual learning.
And Finally…
“Heathrow’s getting a reputation” made me smile when I first saw it, and I was staggered when I encountered a notice at our terminal 5 – see “We just don’t do airports well in the UK”.
I’m off to India tomorrow for Cycle India. If anyone would like to sponsor me, see http://www.justgiving.com/Dave-Blakeman
