How Investor Relations Should Get Started in Social
Blog PostSeventy-nine percent of Fortune Global 100 companies are using at least one social media platform. But according to a survey by BNY Mellon, only 9% of global senior level investor relations professionals are using social media for IR communications. Investors are a critical audience for a company to engage and data suggest blogs and social networks are appropriate channels. So why is investor relations shying away from social?

Nudge, motivation and the design of systems
Blog PostThe concept of "nudge" seems to be trending in the public consciousness of the UK at the moment. But why do some people find it morally questionable? And how can it be used in the effective design of systems, processes and working practices? The idea of structuring situations so certain actions or choices are easier to make has been discussed and debated in relation to a number ofdifferent issues. The government's championing of the idea has contributed to its popularity. It has established a behavioural insight team to find cost savings in service delivery through, in Nick Clegg's words, "making the better choice the easier choice". That quote demonstrates the reason that nudge can generate a fairamount of controversy: who decides what "the better choice" is? Isn't this just an example of at best paternalistic policy-making or at worst cynically manipulative behaviourism?
