Re: Charging and reclaiming VAT

davidcushman — Fri, 10 Jan 2020 12:23:07 -0000

I am doing some freelance work but won't be earning enough from it this year to register for VAT. However, the company I am doing the work for wants me to bill through a VAT registered (third party) company. Happy to do that, but when I then invoice the third party, should I invoice them for the sum minus the VAT (as I assume they will end up having to pay it?)

If you are interested in Open Business please take a look at my book The 10 Principles of Open Business, published in January 2014 and available on Amazon

Two thoughts: who is it OK to be remembered by and how? Is privacy the holy grail and if so has does that stack against the reduction in value of 'n' in the 2n power curve if value generation in network science?
TBD over beer.

Purpose is an essential for flattened hierarchy - it makes organisations more strategy than management led. It's Principle One in the 10 Principles of Open Business ;-)

These appear to be about social good rather than the proposition espoused by IBM et al re Social Business as a connected enterprise internallly and externally. I'm good with that though because the latter shoud (as we know around here) be called an Open Business ;-)

Read this a couple of years back now. Essentially the bigger and more centralised and robust our organisations appear the more likely - given time - a shock big enough to burst the whole bubble will come along. The author asks us to look at what has stood the test of time and seek clues there. So coffee, wine good, diet coke, and frosted cereals, bad.

I don't give a shiney one how entertaining or 'engaging' content is, if it doesn't do the job of providing the shortest possible route to a peer's publication of their experience of the truth then it is playing in the wrong place.
Social is a truth medium where the relationship you have with the person you hear it from is everything. We don't have relationships of trust with brands. We don't want to hear The Promise, or the Promise brought to life. We want the truth of the promise and the only folk we trust with that are each other.

I invite you to consider my forthcoming book: The 10 Principles of Open Business. There are those (Luis Suarez at IBM included) who believe 2014 will be the year of Open Business.

The book is here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The...

And some background to it here:

Re: 2012 brings a pause in the disruption

davidcushman — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:02:22 -0000

damned right to get back to the blogging bob! There's no pause to the disruption really (maybe in the flow of tech) because the disruption is more cultural than technical as you know. What I do see is a bit of a 'panic button' approach to tough economic times. People defaulting to tried and tested (even if the test shows it fails they know how it fails) rather than innovating, people wanting simple turn-key solutions instead of taking the big leaps they need. That's understandable. We are in scary times. It's hard to see the other side of that jump is better when all you can see is the void before your eyes.

Re: Can Social Business Be Quantified?

'Million dollar question' is absolutely right. The true measure of the success of a business in opening up to the value on offer from outside itself will be demonstrated in efficiencies, innovation and ultimately growth.

Re: How Not to Master Social Media!

davidcushman — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 12:45:10 -0000

I've read through (almost) all the comments here. I do occasionally run social media training for orgs myself (usually less tactics focused) - and from that perspective I have to say you were somewhat over-promised. To get through all that in a day in any kind of hands-on depth was never going to happen.
But what really surprises me is that Thomas Power has failed to engage in this thread.
If anyone's case is good, engaging in public should be free from fear.

If you get nowhere with your refund I'll be happy to help fill knowledge gaps FOC if you happen to be passing our offices In Holborn. I presented for EConsultancy on Location Based Services (Gowalla etc) in London, Leeds and Manchester at the end of last year, for example.

Got to agree with you Jmac. Did you see my take on this in September 10 - http://fasterfuture.blogspo... - specifically regarding the impact on the role of the org. You may enjoy.

Re: Social Media Marketing 101: In-House Team, Agency or Consultant?

davidcushman — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 04:10:49 -0000

To develop a social media strategy you have to first audit the landscape in which you seek to deploy.
It's the simple, basic but often missed first step: that's auditing where the relevant conversations are happening and performing network analysis to identify the influencers specific to that niche.

But that's only part of the story. The key thing to understand is that social media strategy should be less about communication and more about co-creation: discovering people who care about the purpose you share, bringing them together, surfacing improvements and new products, and acting together to create outcomes you all care about.

Twitter, like so many, is at serious risk of failing to provide a revenue model built on network principles rather than broadcast ones.
Simple rule: Relationships are more important than information.
