May is ideas month in Sydney.
The countdown is on to this years Happiness and its causes conference in Sydney, May 5 & 6. My wife is a mental health professional and this event bridges our two worlds – corporate and health. It will be exciting to experience the lineup of speakers together, and with the date approaching there is increasing coverage through the sites twitter feed.
The second half of May sees the TEDxSydney event roll into Carriageworks on 22 May. The notifications for the lucky participants were due to be released today, but have been delayed to the end of the week due to overwhelming interest.
Over the past two years, the Meaning Business blog took an extended break. You could go so far as to say it was dead.
In that time, the communication world has grown increasingly connected, extending the use and reuse of social media at a breakneck speed. Since last writing, microblogging through twitter and other sources has boomed, the number of facebook users has tripled. The number of voices has increased. At the same time, the economic, political and social landscape has changed.
Change brings new ideas, and I like to explore and cross the boundaries between communication, business, organisational development, the arts, politics and other sources of new thinking.
In resurrecting the Meaning Business blog I am aiming to share what I find useful from experience, seek and share ideas that have been useful, new themes and topics that stand out from the immense volume of information available to us. I have been inspired by a number of conversations with colleagues and peers in communication over the past few months and hope to create the same dialogue here.
