- Time To Stop the Lawyers' Clock - FT article on the challenges for the hourly rate. Well balanced article (for which you'll have to register to get the whole thing) which helpfully makes the point that it's not all that great for lawyers either. And I agree with the general tenet that we should all be looking at fee structures and how we deliver value.
- Policing vs Guidelines - Roo Reynolds (an IBM employee) highlights the way in which IBM manages its employees' use of social media. I agree with him that you can't really police it, although you do need to give employees some guidance on what you expect of them - even if it is in the broadest terms.
- Unfair Marketing Becomes Criminal Offence next week - useful note from OUT-LAW.com reminding us all that The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 come into force on 26th May 2008. You could always go along to one of their free breakfast seminars on the topic which they are holding in June.
- Bob Geldof at NESTA's Innovation Edge 08 this week. I went along to the event at the Royal Festival Hall along with 3,000 other people. Interesting day for all sorts of reasons, but Bob was the highlight for me. Thought provoking and worth a look.
