- The forgotten Australian market? Baby Boomers
- by Claire Brinkley. Econsultancy, Posted 3 March 2013. "It seems Australia's Baby Boomers are being shunned by brands and marketers who are instead focusing on younger, more tech savvy consumers - something that's already been identified as an opportunity in other countries. According to a new Mi9 report, only 10% of Australian advertising spend is directed towards Baby Boomers, despite the fact that this age group is currently entering into a 'Lifestyle' stage where they have more disposable income than any other group. And of the small number of brands who do target the over-55s, it looks like they may be entirely missing the mark, as overwhelmingly, 94% of Baby Boomers say they dislike the way advertisers currently communicate with them..."

- 2013 Edelman Trust Barometer Finds a Crisis in Leadership
- Less Than One in Five Trust Leaders to Tell the Truth. Edelman, Press Release, Published January 9, 2013. "Less than one in five respondents in the 2013 Edelman Trust Barometer believes a business or governmental leader will actually tell the truth when confronted with a difficult issue. This lack of confidence in traditional authority figures was continually reinforced in 2012 against the backdrop of high-profile scandals involving CEO and government officials, including former McKinsey managing partner Rajat Gupta, former Chinese government official Bo Xilai and Lance Armstrong, former chairman of the Livestrong Foundation. "We're clearly experiencing a crisis in leadership," said Richard Edelman, president and CEO, Edelman. "Business and governmental leaders must change their management approach and become more inclusive by seeking the input of employees, consumers, activists and experts such as academics, and adapting to their feedback. They must also pass the test of radical transparency."..."

- Excel Statistics for SEO and Data Analysis
- by Virgil Ghic. SEOmoz - The Daily SEO Blog, January 4th, 2013. "Everybody has probably already realized that there is almost no data that we cannot get. We can get data about our website by using free tools, but we also spend tons of money on paid tools to get even more. Analyzing the competition is just as easy, competitive intelligence tools are everywhere, we often use Compete or Hitwise. Opens Site Explorer is great for getting more data about our and competitors backlink profile. No matter what information we are trying to get, we can, by spending fortunes or no money. My favorite part is that almost every tool has one common feature and that is the "Export" button. This is the most powerful feature of all these tools because by exporting the data into Excel and we can sort it, filter it and model it in any way we want. Most of us use Excel on the regular basis, we are familiar with the basic functions but Excel can do way more than that. In the following article I will try to present the most common statistical techniques and the best part it is that we don't have to memorize complicated statistical equations, it's everything built into Excel! Statistics is all about collecting, analyzing and interpreting data. It comes very handy when decision making faces uncertainty. By using statistics, we can overcome these situations and generate actionable analysis..."

- eGov AU - Craig Thomler's professional blog - eGovernment and Gov 2.0 thoughts and speculations from an Australian perspective, Friday, July 27, 2012. "While chatting with government folk in Victoria yesterday, the topic of printable PDFs in websites came up. Many agencies have them - large documents designed to be read on paper, rather than screen, and designed accordingly. It made me ask the question: How many households actually have working printers and are able (and willing) to print large documents or forms?..."

- How Governments Are Developing Better Performance Metrics
- By Cindy Waxer. Government Technology, July 27, 2011. "Stock value and quarterly revenue may help shareholders gauge a private corporation's track record, but such standards simply don’t apply to government agencies. Rather, most public offices rely on performance metrics to determine how successfully they're delivering services to citizens and adhering to legislative regulations. By tracking everything from project deadlines to productivity levels, the public sector can better justify its IT investments, communicate its overall value and garner support from citizens and state assemblies alike..."
