Irene Khan, the Secretary General of Amnesty International, is blogging from the World Economic Forum at Davos. I was involved in setting up the blog, together with my colleagues at Headshift - and it's something I'm particularly proud of - I hope people read her blog, and think about what she is saying. From her latest post - Terrorism: A comprehensive response, or an opportunity missed?
Across the world, governments are actively undermining human rights in the name of the fight against terrorism. How far has this process of erosion actually inflamed terrorism, rather than staunching it – particularly given that these measures have all too often targeted and discriminated against those very communities whose support is needed to fight terrorism?

We at Headshift are on the look out for a few good people to help us deliver some really exciting projects during 2007. Lee sums up what we're looking for in this post on the Headshift blog:

  • social software consultants
  • project managers and implementors (especially with experience in deploying social software)
  • designers
  • developers (Cold Fusion, LAMP, Ruby, .Net and Sharepoint)

You need to be someone who is passionate about social software and its benefits. You don't have to be an expert in social software (although the more experience the better), but you need to have a good record of getting things done, and certainly be adaptable.

In return you get to work at the cutting edge of social software deployment, on a variety of projects both inside and outside the firewall (and sometimes both !).

We're in a great location, suits are not compulsory, and you get to set up your machine the way you want it ! Read Lee's post, and send in your application to us.

A belated return to blogging…

Well, the last 3 or 4 months have just whizzed by in a bizarre blur. Illness, lots of work, travel, Twitter, and a loss of my blogging voice have conspired to keep this blog empty of all but the odd link from del.icio.us, and no matter what anyone says, and even if I do try and add quick one line descriptions (a la Tom Coates), automatically posting del.icio.us links is not really blogging.

Anyway, I'm back, although still struggling to find anything really interesting to blog about - I wonder if my blogging spark is slowly fading away. I get sequentially (and sometimes simultaneously) inspired by and infuriated with the blogosphere, and especially irritated with the host of expert Web2.0 and Enterprise2.0 commentators that have suddenly sprung up around the fringes, with seemingly little experience but lots to say. One thing I have realised in my few months at Headshift, is that we're all still learning here, trying to make sense of these tools and how they can help shift from centralised to more distributed cultures, and help harness the inherent collective intelligence that is present in most organisations. There is no one solution to rule them all (and that road leads to the dark side of enterprise CRMs and ERPs), and we have to always pay attention to the most important ingredient in these systems, and that's the people.

Right..more regular posting for a while for sure. It feels good to be back !
