  • Scraps of Hope in Banda Aceh
    Marjaana Jauhola Marjaana craps of Hope in Banda Aceh examines the rebuilding of the city Marjaana Jauhola of Banda Aceh in Indonesia in the aftermath of the celebrated SHelsinki-based peace mediation process, thirty years of armed conflict, and the tsunami. Offering a critical contribution to the study of post-conflict politics, the book includes 14 documentary videos Scraps of Hope reflecting individuals’ experiences on rebuilding the city and following the everyday lives of people in Banda Aceh. Scraps of Hope in Banda Aceh Banda in Hope of Scraps in Banda Aceh Marjaana Jauhola mirrors the peace-making process from the perspective of the ‘outcast’ and invisible, challenging the selective narrative and ideals of the peace as a success story. Jauhola provides Gendered Urban Politics alternative ways to reflect the peace dialogue using ethnographic and in the Aceh Peace Process film documentarist storytelling. Scraps of Hope in Banda Aceh tells a story of layered exiles and displacement, revealing hidden narratives of violence and grief while exposing struggles over gendered expectations of being good and respectable women and men. It brings to light the multiple ways of arranging lives and forming caring relationships outside the normative notions of nuclear family and home, and offers insights into the relations of power and violence that are embedded in the peace. Marjaana Jauhola is senior lecturer and head of discipline of Global Development Studies at the University of Helsinki. Her research focuses on co-creative research methodologies, urban and visual ethnography with an eye on feminisms, as well as global politics of conflict and disaster recovery in South and Southeast Asia.

  • Social Mania: the Impact of Likes, Posts, and Swipes on Insurance Never Before Has Such a Small Number of Companies Held Such Influence
    Social Mania: The Impact of Likes, Posts, and Swipes on Insurance Never before has such a small number of companies held such influence. Silicon Valley’s social media giants connect, inform, anger, and interest billions of people. How can we assess the impact of all those likes, posts, and swipes on the South Africa Neil Parkin Chief Pricing Actuary insurance markets? RGA explores the power, and peril, of several social trends: RGA South Africa Employee Social Endorsement In a Weber Shandwick/KRC Research global survey of 2,300 employees at mid-sized or Cliff Jooste Chief Underwriter larger companies, 50% said they post messages, pictures, or videos about an employer RGA South Africa often or from time-to-time. On the positive side, much of that content involves industry insights that can burnish Belinda Thorpe brand reputation, or workplace posts that can help recruit and retain associates. Research Head of Claims Africa and Middle East demonstrates that commentary and advice from employee experts is far more likely to RGA South Africa be considered authentic and trustworthy within social networks than similar posts from a faceless corporation. In the same survey, 39% of employees shared praise or positive comments online about an employer. Yet social media also presents risks: 16% of respondents in the survey reported sharing criticism or negative comments online and 14% said they posted something in social media about an employer that they regretted. A poorly considered post can generate public backlash and unwanted viral conversations. Furthermore, unauthorized and accidental disclosures of personal and confidential information can also be used in cybersecurity attacks.

  • And Now for Something Completely Different …
    And Now for Something Completely Different … This week I was talking to a prospect in the marketing department of a company that I had been introduced to by a colleague. They are in the storage industry and are looking to make a big splash by flooding their “message” out to end users, resellers, and analysts. I was told that they had a very well developed content stable so they may not need the full range of DCIG services but that introducing my company to them could prove beneficial. The ensuing conversation reminded very much me of one of my favorite Monty Python’s Flying Circus show sketches; The Cheese Shop sketch. (Cue the Bouzouki music) Me: So you are trying to get the message out into the hands of end users looking to make a buying decision right? So you probably have some Case Studies to share with them? Prospect: No, not today. Me: Ok, then do you have any White papers that you are able to put into the hands of their hands so that they can look at your technical benefits in a detailed manner? Prospect: Afraid we are fresh out. Me: Webinars? Prospect: No Me: Executive white papers? Prospect: No Me: Product Evaluations Prospect: We had one coming, but the truck broke down. Me: How about blogs? Certainly you must have blogs? Prospect: No Me: Product spec sheets? Prospect: Oh yes…! We have those. Me: Super, we can derive content from them and a briefing with your team, can we get some of them to start with? Prospect: Well, they are kind of runny… Me: Oh that’s OK, we like them runny! We can tighten them up for you and deliver them in a way that resonates with your prospective clients.
