Today’s coffee companion used to be a media planner. Media planners don’t really plan, that’s media strategists.
We talked about:
- where we first met (the delightful Silicon Beach)
- minute details that can be remembered about the 1984 Cup Final, and associated Elton John songs
- why there are always Wolves flags at the front of the pyramid stage
- managerless organisations
- the shift from employed to freelance
- the importance of doing things intentionally
- what to do when your ultimate boss changes in a really bad way
- AI in Computer Science school lessons
- the way in which shifting from subject to subject in a school day without thinking about anything other than the efficiency of timetabling must leave kids with significant switching costs
- how our kids don’t really need to learn about hybrid working from people who remember the time before video conferencing
- taking breaks from social media, especially when social media is a part of your job
- how social networks are much more “place” than “system”
There are more coffees to come. Why not be one of them?
