Forward Thinking Strategies

My business colleagues have encouraged me to make the site a repository of the forward thinking strategies I have devised and shared over the years.  I'm going to slowly go a step further and start offering  much of the Intellectual Property I have created over the years for an optional donation for individuals and a nominal licence fee for organisations. 

The forward thinking strategies topic areas will be diverse covering Hiring Strategies, Time Management, How to Present, Personal Development, Technology Trends and a favorite of mine Raising Kids.  I hope to create vigorous debate and to become a clever portal for effective strategies to improve people's lives.

Transforming IT Education: Promoting a Culture of Excellence
Written by Edward Mandla   
Monday, 14 December 2009
I'm delighted that some of my comments and passion while I was Australican Computer Society (ACS) President for improving IT Education made it to a book "Transforming IT Education: Promoting a Culture of Excellence".  The following is the link http://tinyurl.com/ybpetgz

It's such a shame than much of the policy work over my era just got subsequently lost in the Australian Computer Society.  Pretty much the corporate memory of the ACS has faded away with the third CEO in two years and some inward focus from later Presidents.  As is always the way in a not for profit, when leadership is weak and turning over, political staff start pushing their own agenda building bureaucracies, securing their position and completing forgetting the job at hand.

Pressure on Canberra from unions and recruiters over the use of the 457 visa scheme to import labour has intensified sharply.

Yesterday, the head of executive technology recruiter Alt-U and former Australian Computer Society president, Edward Mandla, claimed it was a sad reality that most 457 visa holders brought in from India were hired to undercut Australian labour costs.

"They are brought in by organisations on fixed-price contracts solely to make higher profits by reducing local human costs," Mr Mandla said.

He said the government should now "name the organisations bringing in 457 visa holders, the number brought in and citizenship country".

This would restore the scheme's market driven basis that previously saw it operate well, he said.

If media and gambling billionaire James Packer invites you to connect with his group of cohorts on popular professional networking website LinkedIn, these a strong chance he just wants your online contact book. And it’s not really him that’s asking.

That’s what happened to more than 150 professionals and senior executives this month after Mr Packer’s identity was hijacked and used to dupe them into exposing their links to online social networks – and the personal information that goes with them.

The chief executive of executive search firm Alt-U and former Australian Computer Society president, Edward Mandla, declined his invitation to join the bogus Packer network, but said whoever has set up the page was set to reap a goldmine of commercially sensitive information.  “You see the list of an organization or a bid team,” Mr Mandla said. “You can then start stealing their staff.”

After our marathon effort to find out the Labor candidates for the Sydney City Council elections (see WHO IS ON THE LABOR TICKET ??? , July2008 page 30) we went looking for the Liberal ticket candidates. We typed into google "Liberal Sydney City Council 2008" and on the first page came up with a reference to Edward Mandla's website - which referred visitors to the Sydney Liberals website. Regular readers may recall that Edward Mandla was the Liberal endorsed candidate for the state seat of Sydney at the 2007 NSW election and is a "computer guru" - indeed we awarded his website the Best Candidate website of the 2007 NSW elections.

Sydney Liberal councillor Shayne Mallard has positioned himself as the mainstream alternative to a trio of “big-spending left-wing politicians” vying for the lord mayoralty.

At a campaign launch in William St yesterday, Cr Mallard accused his three main opponents – Lord Mayor Clover Moore, Labor’s Meredith Burgmann and the Green’s Chris Harris – of being “all on the hard left, competing for air”.
