Re: [Swprograms] Consultants view of BBC's public service role

[Richard Cuff <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Seems that a common thread to all this is the notion of significant
change that's taking place in "radio listening".  I don't know what it
should be called...content distribution sounds wrong.  Frankly,
content *aggregation* is probably not too far off a description.

In the USA much public programming -- even that distributed by NPR --
comes from independent producers.

One of the things Mr. Gyr is doing is emphasizing the importance of
the BBC "brand".  Whether a program is produced internally or
externally doesn't matter -- it must nonetheless be compatible with
the image, reputation, and credibility the BBC has as a broadcaster.

One of his titles looks interesting:  "The Dynamic Enterprise: Tools
for Turning Chaos into Strategy and Strategy into Action".

Instead of "Anna Analogue" and "Digital Joe", a more apropos moniker
might be "Curious George", from a series of children's books.

FWIW, part of what I do is in a similar space -- helping companies
understand and respond to the actions of their competitors in an
environment when user needs are changing.

I can't draw either.
