‘Not another tin rattler’ – how to build key differentiators to gain a share of the philanthropic wallet

Tuesday, 28 January 2020 by Todd Crowley
Organisations competing for the philanthropic dollar need to make transformational decisions within to meet the future challenges of a consumer driven market. In line with this organisational shift it is important that they move from being a “sponsorship partner” to a more sophisticated partner of industry, government, non-government and corporate sectors. The first step is

If you pay for an experienced communications specialist, you should get one

Wednesday, 22 January 2020 by Damian Bathersby
Listen up now. I previously promised I would tell you about Golden Rule #2 when dealing with the media and introduce you to a lovely young lady named Tiffany and her colleague Brad. So, Golden Rule #1 of dealing with the media was not avoiding the tough questions but seeking professional help from people who

The tale of two clubs within 24 hours

Wednesday, 22 January 2020 by Sarah Morgan
Within just 24 hours I recently visited two community clubs, less than 20 minutes’ drive of each, and had two completely different experiences. One was a sporting club at the end of our street.

Wednesday, 22 January 2020 by Damian Bathersby
You don’t spend 40 years in the media without learning a thing or two. This ain’t my first rodeo, as they say in the classics.

Security and integration in the Pacific – it’s all about the climate change mate!

Thursday, 09 January 2020 by Paddy Hallinan
The 2019 Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) in Fiji highlighted three key issues: Firstly, the importance of the immediate threat climate change poses to Pacific Island states; secondly, the risk for Australia in not recognising that its “Security and Integration” strategy needs a climate change theme or element to its delivery; and, thirdly, while not overtly

Few organisations can withstand a misconduct crisis. Are you sure you can?

Tuesday, 07 January 2020 by Dr Mark Harvey
A recent attendee at an ethics seminar spoke to me about her enthusiasm to arrange a Raise the Bar analysis of her organisation, as she now understood and could articulate to her senior leadership, the whole-of-organisation benefits of a proactive approach to encouraging professional conduct and improving systems for dealing with unethical practices.

Australia’s fuel security – opportunity and threat

Tuesday, 07 January 2020 by Paddy Hallinan
Australia is heavily reliant on refined fuel imports from South East and North Asian suppliers.  Much of that supply comes via shipping that moves through or close to the increasingly contested South China Sea. Over the past 10 years, three of Australia’s oil refineries have closed and domestic production has decreased by a third as
