Ricordare tutti per non dimenticare nessuno

Today is Memorial Day and I'll post a bit 'different. I always start the communication course, but using a special, very personal. First things first. Today all media remind us of the Holocaust, yesterday Marco Paolini and his "Ausmerzen" had a good result in terms of audience La7. On Facebook, along with some friends network, we talked about "stumbling blocks" , a brilliant idea by the German artist Gunter Deminig that combines history, culture and civics. Remember not to forget, just . Reading Primo Levi to understand the scope of those inhuman acts. But let's not forget that anti-Semitism at the time was not common practice and that, as Daniel Goldhagen wrote in his "The Willing Executioners Hitler" , very, very normal, ordinary people, supported, directly or indirectly, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe Holocaust. But I will not deepen the story, is my passion but it's not my job.

What amazes me is that on days like this, almost anyone, especially the newspapers, on TV, the Web, remember the many, many Italians who were captured and deported to Germany . In all over 700,000 people, 40,000 died in concentration camps. They were not Jews. They only had to wear a uniform because of the Italian Army . On September 9, 1943 King Vittorio Emanuele III, Marshal Badoglio and dozens of members of the government, Army and Royal House ran away from Rome, unarmed but with luggage, in a hurry to go to Brindisi . No order given to troops, were left in disarray, with a true act of treason against them made by the person who had sworn to obey . Left to themselves, the soldiers were Italians, except on rare occasions, easily captured. Were not considered "prisoners of war" (as the Geneva Convention provided) but "inmates" virtually no rights and forced to work. Do not talk about anyone.

Why do I say this? because my grandfather, Armando Polesel, was one of them , was an infantry soldier stationed in the current Croatia, a sergeant who was captured and deported. He returned to Italy ill and died a few years later, young, leaving a wife and three young children. Last year, after much insistence by my father, have awarded a medal of honor (required by Law No 296/2006, also the little publicized). Today, 27 January 2011, we must remember " the Holocaust (extermination of the Jewish people), the racial laws, the persecution of citizens of Italian Jews, the Italians who suffered deportation, imprisonment, death, and those who in different fields and camps, have opposed the project of extermination, and at the risk of their lives they have saved more lives and protected the persecuted ". This is the law No. 211 of July 20, 2000, which established the Holocaust Memorial Day. My tiny contribution just want to remember all victims, including those 700,000 Italians in uniform who, too often , are forgotten. not to strike them. Honestly, now Ruby, of Tulliani and everything else I do not care anything at all.

Piccole grandi soddisfazioni

few days ago I wrote about how, in a 2010 work hard but intense, has been able to know a lot of interesting people, all thanks to the network. Today I want to mention a great little success . Me and Cristina there are "popular" reading and appreciating their blog for over a year ago. We more or less the same job, some might say that we are competitors, using language maybe already dead and buried. We started to interact, to confront each other about experiences, about the work we were doing on the subjects that interested us . Between work and another, between one meeting and a conference, simply and spontaneously. We have given advice and "advice" to each other, without having to sign papers or agreements, just for the pleasure of sharing some aspects of our work. time lost would say maybe our accountants, quite the opposite in fact.

Unlike me, Cristina writes books for work, edited by FrancoAngeli . From our conversation about the usefulness of keeping a blog for work (according to some further loss of time that does not explain why one should do anything without being paid for it), they have created a kind of interview, done via Skype One morning, some time ago. On the things that we said you wrote a box and put in his new book, as a small success. A book which I have already spoken , I'm re-reading these days and that I recommend to everyone. The book is Communication low cost ", she's Cristina Mariani . A little 'reviewed much more authoritative than mine, can be found here . A great satisfaction for me, born from the will and pleasure of sharing ideas, experiences and projects with people who do their job with passion, every day. You can read the pages below (I have the authorization of Cristina and her publishing house).

LNP on Low Cost Communications

A small detail: I am Cristina and we have never seen in person . We tried but we have not been found yet, perhaps fill this gap in Modena, the first of February. Or maybe we will continue to talk like old friends and colleagues via email, via Skype, comments on their blog on Friendfeed. Sometimes you realize you're really enormous opportunities that the network offers a simple and immediate . Only a few years ago, Cristina and I would see us at some conference, maybe watch a bit 'wrong' Cause we do the same work and point to the same companies. With the network we mature, sometimes almost unconsciously, but we do . Meanwhile, Cristina has a lot of irons in the fire but do not want to anticipate anything. Just a tip: I continue to follow the blog Generation Pro Pro Dario Di Vico on the site of Corriere della Sera in the next days there will be news. Do you too.

What Does The Twilight Dvd Have On It?

Rispetto e fiducia nei dipendenti? Rivoluzionario

In business we often talk about internal communication . In a meeting that I did yesterday with a client if they have spoken at length because it is an Italian company with several subsidiaries in the world and needs to communicate better. I dance for another company in a project to develop the content and thrust of the existing Intranet. This is also why I read the new book by James Mason, "Intranet 2.0," which I recommend to everyone (I had already spoken in my "tips for shopping" ). The problem then is that the words do not follow something concrete because you have to decide who is dealing with it, as a platform to use and much more, all secondary. The most important thing is the willingness to communicate, which must involve, in particular, management . "It is not necessary that all managers will line up like soldiers, but there must be at least a manager who believes in" Mason says in his book. To define the project, to involve people, to find the budget. A difficult thing. Today, however, we have a revolutionary news in this regard.

Today I open the blog of Massimo Melica and read his latest post . Steve Jobs, Apple's number one, has decided to announce a new discharge to take care of his health. Okay, but we were not talking about internal communications? One moment of patience. This information, unfortunately not new for Jobs (and third time this has happened), will have a strong impact on IPOs, we imagine a press conference, with careful analysis from a legal standpoint. Or a scoop of a journalist who discovers this news withheld by senior management. None of that. Steve Jobs announced the news directly to their employees, first, by email. A demonstration of great respect and confidence in them, a fabulous choice for internal communication. He only asks respect for his privacy. Contrary

my wife (admirer of Apple products well before the birth of the first iPod), I'm not a fan of Apple. I do not especially like their trade policy to a "revolutionary new product" every six months. But I can not but admire the work and ideas of Steve Jobs. From today, my esteem for him is further increased because decided to give priority to its team . It did not use innovative platforms or glaring way, he sent a simple email. This means to put first the people who work with you, regardless of how, when and why you speak to them. We (in Italy) will see only the decline of the shares (-6% in trading yesterday on the markets Europe) and we have doubts about the company's future plans. But the problem is ours. We are not used to detect the respect and trust in employees as an important thing. For us it is too revolutionary.

Andiamo in scena!

There are some small but important things that you inject an incredible enthusiasm and unexpected . The event made by ACTA yesterday at the Milan Triennale is, without doubt, one of them. A real theatrical show in which professionals have done for the day, the nonprofessional actors. And they were very good. They made it clear to many people, all side Agora in the next room, our lives and our world in a particular way, ironic and effective, and realistic drama . Okay, a nice event, a nice idea, but then what? Then they created a debate peer inside the room, speaking for those who had come to see and then directly explaining the reasons for the association, its needs, its goals. A success, but there's more. And here I bring my own experience of the event.

I got there early, because I know some people live ACTA I often hear on the network. The Argentine director Marcela Cerla a crazy bundle of energy, looked at me and I was immediately enlisted in the show. I made the cloud . When will more videos and photos from the event will be understood better. I have not had time to get there that I had become one of them quickly . Without forms or form, only pats on the back, smiles, jokes, discussions. All in five minutes and people who had never personally seen in my life. An enthusiasm that is rarely concentrated in one place. Different people, all very serious in the tests, all very nice during the breaks. And we went on stage . My role lasted 10 seconds but do the ritual drama of "shit, shit, shit" all together at the beginning, it was great.

Yesterday I felt part of ACTA so instinctive, direct, personal . I should point out that yesterday was just a person interested in a project, I was neither a member nor registered . Today they are. Why idea I had first hand experience and I know people who have within them the will to reach a goal , let's face it, very ambitious: to give light to the invisible , defend and promote their role in society and in ' Italian economy. If yesterday we are more visible, we have to say thanks to them. Who have spent hours of their free time to try a really good show. The best way to truly understand the manifesto of self-employment ACTA was looking at people who were there to pray. "I am free, non-professional, because you can not be at the same time, free and professional" was told by one of them. Also there was something about me. And another part of what I really found after the show.

Want some advice? It is not depressed, outside your door there is a lot of wonderful people to know and to remember after so many years. We can only throw . As he sang Battiato, the clouds can not wipe out the sun . And clouds, through ACTA, since yesterday I mean.

Riordinare le idee

The 15 days of vacation can be very useful. Why return to work with an open mind with new ideas, with a fluid thought, things that make you question views a month before considered untouchable. The dogmas had raised the same way as professional and you will not even realize you were made. A meeting with a client, my first day back to work operational. We talk about planning, strategy, messaging, segmentation, linguistic analysis, all to develop, in short, a draft notice. I feel clear in my head that I wanted to follow the path had some areas for improvement, perhaps to rethink and reassess . It was the client that made me turn on some light bulbs, which shows clearly and clear that we are doing the right thing. Together.

I came home and I have written, in ink, the concepts to revise the messages to be change, new ideas to review. I went to recover a couple of books to refresh the theory, interested in a couple of presentations on Slideshare, and wandered a bit 'on Google . The dark areas are now mostly, the ideas have come out freely and customer suggestions have been incorporated in the right place. The work is, absolutely, "in progress" but the road is much more enlightened. Why I was able to look critically at my work, derived from self-indulgence without simple lack of time or objectives too restrictive.

Go to the library, search the Internet, listen to new opinions are things that are often not so easy to do. We tell ourselves that we do not have time because we have so many things to think about . All true and all lies, at the same time. Those things we can do much better if our mind is free to observe, reflect and meditate. The time to improve our work we must always find , without apology and cling to various dogmas. Having talent is to understand that you can do better Antoine Albalat wrote 110 years ago. A sentence to ponder.

Le persone che sconfissero l'algoritmo

Today is January 3rd, I'm still on vacation (though it is a contradiction since I am the boss of me but I like to think so) and I was putting in place a bit 'of material. Reviewing the various information, I realized that those more interesting, more reasoned, more intelligent than I found on almost all my sites, blogs or social networking reference . Google searches have been very unsuccessful and made me lose a lot of time. For heaven's sake, far from putting me in into question "the big G," which use a lot of things, from the mail reader, the documents to the maps (as well where I'm writing them now, so to speak). I noticed that only this year I did research effective only in known places, created by people known or reported . Finding some real treasures.

example? I make them happy, because they can be useful to many, besides me. I said that 2011 will be my year and I want to share good start :

• You want to intelligent opinions on the evolution of the marketing world ? Here Diegoli Gianluca and his [mini] marketing (parlarci di persona davanti a uno spritz è pure meglio).
• Si vuole entrare nel vivo dell'evoluzione "social" della comunicazione ? Un salto dal Doctor Brand  e da Alessandro Prunesti  lo si deve fare.
• Si vogliono consigli pratici e semplici, quelli di buon senso, per usare al meglio la rete ? Niente di meglio di Alessandra Farabegoli (che ringrazio per la citazione nel suo post di fine 2010 ).
• Si vogliono  fare bene attività di marketing e comunicazione senza spendere follie ? Marketing Low Cost di Cristina Mariani  è there for that.
• You want to have ideas and opinions to assess the relationship between law and Internet ? I highly recommend Massimo Melica and Ernesto Belisario .
• You want to learn more about how the public administration can evolve with new technologies? To be followed absolutely and Datagov its creators.
• We want to give a brush up the basics of business communications to reach the most innovative ideas ? The Epifani Professor offers lessons always free on his blog (and I highly recommend his presentations on Slideshare). You want
• have an idea of \u200b\u200bhow to make e-learning can ? In addition to 1000 other things, Catepol also does this (and really good). You want to have
• straight on computer techniques, how to configure an iPhone, a router and many other things ? Nothing to do, you must go to Andrea Beggi (and is also the recipe for pesto trenette).

For the rest, just go to my blogroll and see others. And many are missing but found them all online, just "ask around". All people with extensive experience and expertise in their fields who have a very particular characteristic: bring passion and enthusiasm in what they do and write. An algorithm can not do . In 2010 he wins the man, in 2011 we'll see.
