Last minute workshop in Indonesia creates culture shift0 (0)
Festive greetings! Maizi here again and I’m patiently waiting for my human, Steve to return from his tour of Asia. Hold on, there’s the door… …Nah, it was another cardboard package that keeps arriving from that big river in Brazil. I’m amazed they don’t get wet. Back to business… Steve’s currently in Indonesia and just a few days ago I …
Steve chuffed with Korean KPIs0 (0)
Greetings! Maizi checking in on the first day of December – are you beginning to feel festive? My humans Steve and Ann haven’t had a chance to deck our halls as Steve’s been away in South Korea for the last seven days, but he had good reason as it was part of a 4-week project working in Asia.

They’re constantly telling me how effective this tool is at helping them locate the root cause of an organisation’s issues quickly and decisively (I don’t think it’s the trowel they use to dig up roots …
“Be aware of the shadow you leave…”0 (0)
That’s this mysterious phrase that Steve and Ann told me about the other day. At first I thought it was because my shadow was like the wolf from “An American Werewolf In London” (he was one of my relatives, very sad business, but that’s another story…) on one sunny late summer evening walk. But no, apparently Steve was referring to …
Do you really understand what someone wants? Have you asked?0 (0)
It was so frustrating this morning. I was trying to make my human’s, Steve and Ann, understand what I wanted using my clearest barks. They just weren’t asking me the right questions.
