From early September my formerly business websites (PRConsulting.Com and PartnershipIncubator.Com, from 2003) will become mainly online publication venues.
This blog will keep being a knowledge-sharing platform, in part as a “public drafting” of material that will be published on those two websites- and others, including maybe paper-based publications.
The focus of PRConsulting.Com will be change management and associated activities (communication, stakeholder management, etc), as I had used the PRConsulting tradename since 1993, after initial professional activities in late 1980s and in the first half of the year 1990.
PartnershipIncubator.Com was the “online face” of a startup-support activity that I first did occasionally in the early 1990s, and then more frequently from mid-1990, to become almost a constant when I moved to London, in late 1990s.
Actually, that website, along with its business processes, was part of a series of activities that included publishing an online magazine (BusinessFitnessMagazine.Com on managing the business impact of new technologies (not just Internet- also other “virtualization” opportunities, from outsourcing to teleworking).
Aim? After few years abroad, prepare to return in Italy, and find a system integrator to help restructure and add project/change management services.
After few years, and plenty of work, I decided in 2005 that the environment wasn’t the right one, and, while preparing to divert my relocation attempt from Italy to another location, and stopping all the activities (it took until Spring 2008!), I shifted my focus on the Italian market on something closer to my first experience- politics, by creating the website DirittoDiVoto.Com.
Aim? To share with fellow Italians the information that I had collected on the programmes presented by the political parties, by roaming through their often not-so-easy-to-surf websites: and keep a “virtual memory” of what was said.
As a service to foreigners willing to work in Italy, I also posted online a directory of artist management agencies in Italy, Theatralis.Net.
Both these two “service” sites were first in Drupal and then in Joomla, as the purpose is mainly to be “showcases of virtual libraries”.
It might well be that both websites will be updated soon, if there is enough request. I will also restructure the other online publication websites- and I will annonce here any further changes.
Anyway, most of the articles published on this blog in September will be focused on change: adopting different perspectives, and presenting few (short) case studies.
If you have any subject that you would like to see researched and discussed here, feel free to contact me on @robertolofaro on twitter (yes, you have to connect to be able to send messages- to avoid spammers).
Have a nice Sunday!
