G’day, this is Ken Simpson. Welcome to Episode 8, and the second month of the show.
During October the focus of the shows will be on a few specific examples of what people are doing, how they are changing their approaches to reflect more resilience thinking.
At the end of these shows I am going to try to “hack” what these folks are doing - try to distill what I saw as the 2-3 key tricks, shortcuts, skills or methods that seems to separate these practitioner from the rest. Stay tuned to the end and see if you agree with me!
My guest this week will be well known to the Australian community, but probably little known internationally. He was awarded Public Sector Professional of the Year in 2015, and his team also won the Team of the Year Award in 2015. They also won the Team of the Year at the inaugural Australasian Award in 2013 - and again in 2014.
He has recently had an article published in the Journal of Business Continuity and Emergency Planning entitled “How to build a successful business continuity team”. I think we are a good chance of learning something about building successful teams today.
He is the Director of Business Continuity Management at the Australian Taxation Office - the equivalent to the Internal Revenue Service in the USA, or island Revenue in New Zealand and other countries.
Sit up and pay attention as we explore beyond the Black Stump with David Porter.
Did you agree with my hacks on David and the ATO team? What was your take?
Come over to the Black Stump discussion group on LinkedIn and share your views with the rest of the audience. Who knows we may even find David Porter in the group and willing to answer those questions you wish I had asked him.
If you want some additional material to help you on your journey, and to build some of the management and interpersonal skills - subscribe to the free Resilience Ninja Newsletter. You can find that at Resilience.Ninja or there is a subscription box on our Home page.
As always if you would take a few minutes and leave a rating or review on iTunes that would be fantastic.
Next week is another practitioner taking his own unique road to resilience.Until then, remember that resilience is a journey - not a destination. Safe travels.
