Film Project
The Rise, Fall - and Rise? of Lord Street, Southport The film The Rise, Fall - and Rise? of Lord Street, Southport is a documentary film project that I worked on with Southport MovieMakers. My role was to interview a broad range of stakeholders - individuals, businesses, charities and politicians, drawing on my past radio experience of interviewing people from all walks of life; applied more recently in stakeholder consultation for information projects.

A Selection of Blog PostsEmployees of a company are nearly always the biggest item of expenditure on the balance sheet.

Therefore, when a company is about to lose part of its resources, this can, potentially, reduce its competitiveness in the marketplace. Therefore, when employees in a company are approaching retirement, it is essential before they leave the organisation that interviews are conducted with those people. Today, this post is a digression from the normal discussion of Knowledge Management and Competitive Intelligence, to tell you about a film project that I worked on last summer with Southport MovieMakers.

Stand-up comedians sometimes can gauge how well their "act" has been received by the volume of applause or brickbats that they receive. When it is less clear-cut, a very practical and informal method for those comedians to gauge audience opinion is to hide in the toilets immediately after they come off stage and listen secretly to the comments as the audience use the facilities; limited of course to the same sex. This informal feedback can then be applied in the second-half of their "gig". |
