This is more of a letter than a post. THanks for the opportunity again.
The idea with this blog is that I keep live notes always available for me and the other members of the panel. It is intended to be private to this panel.
I started because of ideas sparked by Geoff's challenge on how to reach a wider audience and keep Remap in people's minds like, say, RSPCA.
While out for a stroll I just thought of a combinatin that could well work and will add to my mission/vision statement from an email to the phone conference group last monday. If Remap had a doughnut van in a local event like the yearly summer thingy at victoria park, or the highclere event or the country show, that would be great because: people always buy cheap food regardless of queues; while in the queue they're captive audience for Remap panelists and/or previous clients to brainwash them :)! And I got the doughnut van technology from my previous life with the Didcto Rotary. It can churn a serious 1000 doughnuts per hour! but the queues always built!
I still find OTs are vital, however, a branch into churches, schools, community centres would be interesting. Local radio and newspapers as well (The XYZ Herald series).
ReplyDeleteA great engagement tool could be an award for teenagers from many local schools in work experience age to come up with ideas and help Remap come up with a solution for a case, for instance. That type of event with a presentation ceremony etc is great local news for wider public awareness. The admin for such enterprise fits nicely as a Rotary/Lions community projects. I could start laying out a plan for a pilot and trying it out to gauge response.
At work I will likely be trained on how to be able to attract and retain people with the best skill sets and attitudes for the organisation to achieve its goals. This experience I intend to translate to the Remap experience. A really important part of this is understanding the employment experience offered, so that this can be captured and articulated in recruitment and outreach communications.
