Notes around June event for Management Theory at Work in Radio

No name yet but there will be an event on June 9th at the Phoenix in Exeter to celebrate 10 years of Phonic FM. I have booked a room for a session on Management Theory at Work in Radio , between 12 and 6. Lots of music and other events, not sure what will happen in the evening.

So I hope to gradually build up some mp3 / video so that there is a couple of hours to choose from. Probably some sort of loop, most likely people will drop in and out. See previous posts, follows on from actual conference Management Theory at Work in  Lancaster. Social media versions as #mtw3 and #mtwr , search should find something.

I contribute to two shows on Phonic FM , Tuesday @wenotno 12 -2 and Wild show on Thur 10 - 12. Both mostly music but chat can introduce some ideas. So started last week, now on Spreaker. JD is working on what I am trying to say, also makes sure of the music.

Listen to "The wild show...... With will and jd... 22.02.¹18" on Spreaker.

Turned out to be a form of "hospital radio" as Chris away not feeling well but phoned in. Soon I will go to a Creativity day hosted by NHS in Cumbria. Last year at a creative writing workshop I worked out a script based on the Spine walk in centre for Lancaster campus. Digital transition around a learning organisation could be a linear progress from tech at InfoLab 21 through critique at Management School to central open space around library to comment by social science and humanities. this year I think there could be more reality, document what has happened. Not sure but some time to do some roughs before June. Work on some of the Spine supposed to finish this year.

The day will have a slightly different structure. Versions of John Burgoyne keynote already on YouTube. Mindfulness clips exist from Wild Show, other clips on ethics welcome. JD and myself are top search result for Design Science DJ on YouTube. Links even more welcome, we have not got very far. Case study on moving to Access All Aerials / Spreaker as online / social media development from FM. Also voice interface with Alexa etc. ( work in progress )

I also know about a quality group working on a form of online learning. Something may be ready by then.

Also look at print / social media forms of promotion. More when I know what the name is for the event.

Main meeting for people from other radio stations is from 10- 4 so last part ( 4.30 - 6) will be mostly for them. Between 2 and 4 the Standup Philosopher. at the first conference Chris Grey spoke about university "relevance" arguing that universities had a role as critique rather than offering knowledge for practice. This was towards the end but maybe should be at the beginning. Somewhere in the middle, not sure as other storytelling still to be scheduled.

Two clips from previously

Extending Guardian print to the online world

So far fewer posts this year, have concentrated on visits to BETT and Learning technology. So more about this over time.

But today seems to be a clearcut Guardian in print, time to revive what I have been repeating and maybe find a way forward.

Page 36 Emily Bell on Social Media, danger that we "cosign ourselves further to a world where we abandon standards of a civilised society to a savage and sometimes dangerous market".
Editorial. p2 of the middle bit you are supposed to extract , on the "duopoly of Google and Facebook" expanding on Russian propaganda. "keyboard warriors" used as a term seems to include Russian bot coders  and also sometimes used about Corbyn supporters, whether or not they have ever also bought copy of newspaper. p4 same section reader editor on Design Museum till 6th May has examples of print design around Guardian. No mention of website design or how print supposed to work with this.

So my guess is that the G has no idea what to do online other than knocking copy for Facebook and Google. Still no copy that includes any fact about Guardian Unlimited Talk. Do they think the readers will eventually forget their own experience? My guess print is no longer that strong.

Maybe this post should have been in Read G but somehow the blogs are coming together, even though it may seem from a series of outbursts.

My constructive proposal is for more investigation or speculation around Russian bots and Brexit. The Guardian editorial is too concerned about Facebook and Google to mention any UK aspect of FBI investigation. ( Maybe they have stats on the website views, but don't forget UK please at least in print version) . Matthew d'Ancona p 5 argues that the case against Corbyn should be considered  (Fleet Street still pretty solid, if one thinks there is a story then not likely another says this is junk) but maybe there should be some reporting resource for security threats more recently?

My guess there could well be Russian money associated with Breitbart and Brexit support. Mostly associated with newspapers though. There could have been a shift between the referendum and election on where buzz comes from. As a blogger I can only guess and compare bits of txt.

Analysis and developments more likely online than in newspapers, some might say.

comment welcome

Hello Chris Grey, any update on Management Theory at Work ?

Have found Chris Grey on Twitter but this post because needs more space.

There is a possible repeat of a conference on Management Theory at Work, as at Lancaster a while ago. Also there may be an update of a version for radio in Exeter in June. Previous posts for how I have done a sort of social media version to continue something.

As memory serves the first one started ok as a mix of academics and managers. I had though the closing sessions would reach some conclusions but as memory serves Chris Grey spoke about a role for universities as outside commerce, valued for a critique role and not in hazard to results.

This discussion can be part of such an event but maybe nearer the beginning, should we start at all? ( The radio one is based on an FM licence so something happens whatever the discussion)

Currently find Chris Grey writing much sense about Brexit, seems very practical content.

So what to think recently? Links please to public posts, ( journals possible to find but much delay)

Not sure this will find Chris Grey so any comments or clues welcome from anyone with a view

=============

If still reading, my concern started with the opening keynote from John Burgoyne about how the idea of a learning organisation changed with computers and the web. Still an issue as OU critiqued for putting so much funding into Futurelearn. My guess is that as they offer degrees online the business model will work out but there are still issues around values.
