The Leadership Hub, the world’s first collaborative leadership development platform, is now available as a closed, in-house corporate leadership development platform.
The in-house version of The Leadership Hub is designed in particular for large organizations that have a globally dispersed leadership group whom the organization wants to bring together virtually to build a leadership culture.
The Leadership Hub for Corporates lets you disseminate best practice leadership from ‘hotspots’ of good practice out to the rest of the leadership community.

I was recently approached by a publishing company to redesign one of their websites, Business Franchise Magazine. The site was starting to look slightly dated and some of the features were no longer working correctly. The site’s key feature is that it is an online directory of franchises that potential franchisees can search. Deciding which CMS to use was the starting point here. I deliberated between WordPress and Drupal 7. I created an initial build using WordPress but discovered quite a few limitations when using it as an online cataloging system. So I moved over to Drupal 7. A good choice I feel in retrospect. The powerful taxonomy system, the ease of creating content types and the beautiful administration theme make for an end user and editors dream.
Development continues as we take the site to the next level. I cannot say any more than that at the moment!

It seems that ‘Top WordPress Plugins’ blog posts are ten-a-penny. And while most of them do recommend some fantastic plugins, they don’t always let you know why they’re so good. You have to download from their recommendations and through trial and error figure out whether it’s of any use to you. Here are few of my recommendations detailing what they do, why you should use them and where to get them. Here we go.

But how do you organise those thoughts and ideas into something comprehensible? Something that you can actually see?

So what do you write for your first blog post on your own website? I’d never really thought about it before. So I thought I would outline my plans for this blog.
Over my time working in the web design industry I’ve collected many techniques that I reuse on a regular basis. They help me increase my work flow speed and productivity. My plan for this blog is to share some of these tips, tricks and tutorials that I have accumulated over the years. As well as being (hopefully) useful for anyone interested in reading them, it should also serve as an online repository for myself. A database, if you will, of everything I have and am learning!
