This week's Oakley City Council meeting was rather interesting. Generally, the meetings are straightforward but Tuesday's meeting brought back memories to the times when MPs in Malaysia used to argue over issues.

Good news is coming out of Brussels for an industry under pressure. We as an industry need to make sure all our infrastructure and capital (human and financial) are utilised in the best possible way to get closer to these ambitious targets. In my opinion, this means building out quality parks that last the full lifecycle with minimal O&M costs. This will improve public and financial perceptions of the industry. We, as an industry, cannot afford a "two steps forward, one step back" approach. https://lnkd.in/dcnH2_6q

THE INSPIRING STORY As such, the story of managing objectives on a single sheet of paper during the Covid-19 period, which was shared by Johan Lindholm, Northern area general manager at Al Fresco's Group, provided valuable insights for companies at the seminar "Goal management with OKRs on the business model canvas to reduce human resource waste and enhance team efficiency during recessions." Based on experiences in tackling crises such as the September-9 terrorist attack in the United States, Lindholm achieved consensus with investors on one of two business options: either shutting down or keeping the hotel open. He presented this option on a single sheet of paper. Based on experiences in tackling crises such as the 9/11 terrorist attack in the United States, Lindholm achieved consensus with investors on one of two business options: either closing down or keeping the hotel open. He presented these options on a single sheet of paper, called One Page for Change (OPC) developed by Weatwork.co. To achieve this, he quickly reached a consensus with heads of departments by also using the OPC tool as they all had prior experience in practising this method. As a result, the team took only three weeks for the final decisions to be made, and the resort opened throughout the Covid-19 period, transitioning from offering short-term stays to long-term stays, retaining all staff members, and welcoming thousands of domestic tourists during the social distancing period when other hotels had to shut down completely. https://lnkd.in/gjtR8BCA

To be singular or to be insular ? That is the question «  Our plan is to focus our resources on these roles: Pursue truth with no agenda Back British storytelling Bring people together Now these are the stories that UK audiences value the most. In 2023, of the top 10 most viewed programmes 100% of those stories were UK stories, 70% from the BBC They celebrate our world-leading culture and creativity, and they document the differences that make each of our nations and communities special. Yes, in the internet we are all, exhaustingly, global citizens, but I do not want to give up on our stories. The BBC currently invests more in original British content than anyone. No one does more to champion new talent from every part of the UK. Without us, without the public service broadcasters, the scale and scope of that spending on British stories would quite simply not be replaced. The licence fee supports 14,000 external creative companies, with 50% of the economic impact outside London. This is not an insular strategy. We are a global brand. But as someone who ran BBC Studios, I can tell you that our most successful approach is to focus on our point of difference: authentic British stories produced beautifully, not worrying too much about an abstract notion of global appeal. »
