In this interview he suggests that it isn’t always the employer’s fault when new hires don’t work out the way they should.Employing the NEXT GenerationAHRMIO : We hear a lot about…See More

AHRMIO Opinion 4: A Moral Dilemma

A Moral Dilemma ? Tough economic times have a way of transforming business models in dramatic fashion. Consulting firms find that they can make perfectly workable offers to the INGO sector that they wouldn’t dream of in boom times full of private sector profligecy. Training providers and headhunters too find it suddenly profitable to work with our international istitutions at (for them) often deeply discounted rates. Of course, come the next economic up-tick and these wolves will be off…See More

AHRMIO Interview 4: Peter Lorange

After a career teaching at some of the world’s most prestigious business schools (he was dean of the storied IMD in Lausanne for 15 years), Peter Lorange couldn’t face retirement. What did he do ?

It’s Business, but not as Usual AHRMIO : You have…See More

AHRMIO Opinion 3: Running Out of Talent – NOW!

Here’s an interesting number, 384,000. That’s the total forecast shortage of IT experts in the European Union by 2015. It’s worse than that, because this doesn’t take into account  those on the periphery of the IT industry : add them and you take the shortfall in can-do talent in the IT area alone to over one million.The November 2011 report by the EU says this shortfall of talent is because “teachers and trainers don’t know how to teach ICT and most of the ICT based learning happens in…See More

AHRMIO Interview 3 : Stanley Arumugam

Action Aid International (AAI) recently made headlines by moving its entire headquarter operations from London to Johannesburg -  a so-called north to south emigration and an organizational first for a major INGO. Action Aid and its supporters think that this sort of quantum leap of relocation is going to be a lot more common in the future, as other aid and development agencies see the wisdom and practicality of doing the same. Here, AAI’s…See More

AHRMIO Opinion 2: Losing the Memories – WHY?

What’s this thing about the NEXT generation? Why are we spending so much time worrying about them and what they’ll do, when we are ignoring those who are ending their, so-called, “useful” lives? If ever there was a waste of resources, it’s a failure of society to capture the wisdom, street-smarts and ideas of those that are headed for the retirement party. Everywhere you look, the oldies are not treated as goodies, but as flotsam to be removed quickly, painlessly, clutching their unwanted,…See More

AHRMIO Opinion 1: Office  Politics

International bureaucrats have two things in common. First, they are very, very good at organizing and going to meetings. Second, they love their personal – hard fought-over - office space.  So you have to admire anyone who can propose to a roomful of senior UN agency staffers that their most treasured territory (the office) doesn’t make practical sense : may have once, but in today’s world it is passé, untrendy, VERY costly – even environmentally unsound.The scene is AHRMIO’s annual conference…See More

Hi Olivier - I'll sort my profile out :-)

And yes I did register the Twitter account back when Mike and I assumed we'd have to do everything on our own lol. I guess I can 'hand it over' to you and change all the email notification addresses etc. Will take a look
