Bruce Sheppard - moving to the other side

Published by Ben Kepes on April 27, 2007 in Business, Compliance, Governance and Strategy. 2 Comments

I read tonight that Bruce Sheppard has been appointed to the board of Christchurch bus information firm Connexionz. I wonder how he’ll react to some pesky shareholder holding him to account the way he’s historically held other directors to account????

CEO’s blogs, yadda yadda yadda

I just hate all this hyperbole about CEO’s and blogs. I mean if a CEO sees value in having a blog and actually uses it regularly than fine - but if it’s just a trend bandwagon….

Over at No8 Ventures , Jenny Morel has her own blog last posting…. February 28th.

I mean why bother? Maybe I’m wrong and it’s good that she only writes when there’s actually something to say. But couldn’t she just post something on their website. I don’t know - sounds a little like hype to me….

Hello world!

Hi all. For awhile now I’ve been thinking, talking and writing about the issues facing small and medium businesses that exist here at the end of the world. We’re distant from markets, have little or no natural resource base and a comparatively high average wage - all which goes to make it difficult to compete.

Feel free to take a look and post any comments.

I’ll post again soon !
