My Blog: Changing the Language of Business

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:17:24 GMT

At the beginning of every year, I often find funny stories about which are the most annoying management terms for the previous year (like this one here). And often, there are words like strategy, tactics, market leadership, high performance, efficiency, quality, plan of action etc. which are so much a part of the regular corporate-speak. [...]

The Laundry just won't dry on the line now with the permanent rain, so we decided to have a little stopover at the Laundromat last night. Rudi loved all the machines and little flashing lights and buttons...

It's been raining straight now for almost a week. As good as zero sunshine and really dark days. But hey, the temperature is awesome 24 degrees.
I just did a little jog for about 4km and it felt great running in the drizzle and feeling the cool breeze.
On the downside, some parts of QLD are badly affected again as the rivers rise, flooding seems to be a pretty common phenomenon here in Jan/Feb. When I was here on a business trip last year in Jan, a really big flood hit the city as well.
Oh well, we are putting the feet up and wait for the summer to come back.

My Blog: Change & Communications Study Report: Implications For Asia Pacific

Sat, 14 Jan 2012 02:44:56 GMT

Towers Watson (my employer) recently released a report on The 2011/12 Change & Communication ROI Study report. It has great insights about what could organizations do to build Clarity, Confidence and Community in their organizations through effective communications and change management. While I leave you to enjoy the full report, I found some of the [...]

My photos: "Collar-Wali" at Pench

Day 2; Trip 1:
Her name is "Collar-Wali" (the tigress with a collar). And you cannot help but get enamored by her. It was 10 in the morning and she had finished breakfast with her 2 cubs. And then she decided to laze around a bit, which is the perfectly sensible thing to do!
We were about 25 meters away, so this photo is cropped heavily. But, you can still see her whiskers.

Day 1; Trip 1:
The reservoir in the park is one of the most serene places I have ever been to. At this time of the year, water is aplenty in the park, so the animals don't make this their second home. So, the good thing is that the "tiger" tourists don't spend more than 5 seconds here, which is perfect for me. I was there first thing in the morning and my naturalist helped me spot at least 10 brilliantly colorful birds. Just wish I had a bigger telephoto lens.

Another morning at the reservoir, but from a different side. It was sheer bliss listening to the sounds of the forests.

Day 1; Trip 2:
Leopards are another species at the risk of extinction, with only 5000 left in India. Across the 1500 square km park, there are only 15 of these. And the forest guides say that they are more difficult to spot than a tiger.
This one here was so well-camouflaged that you simply cannot spot it in the wild. But, the naturalists' trained eyes couldn't miss it. More than us, it was a victory & jubilation for them.

Day 2; Trip 1:
The antlers that you see here are covered with velvety fur. The deer rub them against trees; rocks etc. to get rid of the fur. Once gone, they are left with strong hard antlers, which they use to demonstrate their dominance.

Day 1; Trip 2:
The "ghost tree" always grows on top of rocks. And it changes its colors three time a year - red, pink and white. And it glows in the moonlit night, just like a ghost!
