Yep, some of what David said had we wide eyed (eared?), and there was some pretty exciting stuff in there. But it was at such a high level, I wonder how I apply it to my own role as an Internal Communicator. I think this may have been why there were only a few questions from the floor.

Anyway, must dash, I need to check my slippers’ Twitter feed…

Now I’m even more gutted at my inability to attend!

Sounds like a very interesting and thought provoking evening was had by all, I shall have to keep an eye out for the possible public debate.

Well-said Jonathan – an amazingly good ‘capture’ of what at times seemed deep, dark and dense. But I think we must agree David Gallipeau had some fascinating insights to share – stuff we need to know about how the world is changing, and just one view of what could happen in the future. But it was equally interesting that, after the presentation, people around the audience were heard asking, ‘What-was-that-all-about?’ questions.For example,thanks to Alan Richardson’s simple translation of what a ‘dark-hat’ is, those left feeling ‘in-the-dark’ began to understand. It proved that good communication, the unscrambling of the complex into clear messages that people can easily understand, will still be a vital service we communicators can offer, whatever the world looks like in 2020. And one which the clever bods with minds like planets will need if they are to reach the audiences they really want to influence.

The ‘Darth Vader’ reference had me laughing out loud.
