During the Q&A at a recent event a senior manager in the organisation I was speaking to said something along the lines of “If we let people begin to use these social media tools then we won’t have control over what is said in public”. I waited a moment then asked “And what will happen then?”

There was an awkward silence then someone at the back of the room said in loud voice, directed at the senior person, “Yes – what will happen then?”

Needles to say an animated and productive conversation ensued.

A Rainmakers dialogue: 

On the Third Wednesday of the month, we will be gathering for topical discussions. 

Each session will be led by a Rainmaker to give us direction and a theme.  The aim of the evening is to share experience, learn from peers and importantly, hear directly the latest thoughts from the Rainmaker themselves.

All Rainmaker Wednesdays are held under Chatham House Rule and subject to limited spaces.

Topics discussed so far:

• The Economy – Where do we go from here?
• Bonus Culture – Good, Banned or Evil?
• Interim Management and Part Time Workers – What’s next?
• The New Economy – Freeze, Flee or Fight?
• How to Get Great Performance in a Reciession

These topics can be ran again subject to request.

Venues have changed according to location requests from Rainmaker Club members.

We’ve had a bit if an interesting time at the office lately.  All of us have had news that knocked us back on our heels a bit and was, I have to say, a bit challenging.  Out of this came a desire to “Make a Difference” and in my case leave a bit if a legacy and in theirs make a difference to those they can so easily identify with.

Some of our rainmaker speakers have been pushing the idea of “Philanthropic Capitalism” and “Making a Difference” whilst improving both personal and business performance and so we decided to get with the programme and do something positive for everybody.

We are starting to generate money for charity and in time may even get as far as setting up a foundation but for now raising money for the less fortunate is on the agenda.

We realised that post Haiti and other disasters, whilst there is medical help and help to rebuild basic infrastructures, there is little or no help for the inhabitants to rebuild and restart their businesses or in many cases find new business to do to replace that destroyed by the disaster.  We are going to do something positive about that – we know about speakers, rainmakers and events so that’s what we will use to generate funds.

Our initial Event will benefit ‘Action Aid’ as we realise that the thing is to get the funds flowing even if we need to improve targeting later.

The inaugural event will be held in the evening in the City of London, and will feature a discussion between two of our Rainmakers – Gary Sage and Gordon Lovell-Read.

Given that modern businesses, in the UK at least, find themselves in a difficult and challenging strategic environment at present, and might like a different view of what is possible our Rainmakers, Gary and Gordon, will be hosting the Event:
