I’m a fan of Sheryl Sandberg – the COO of Facebook and much of the reason that, coming into its IPO, the company is valued at up to $100 billion.

Let’s face it, Mark Zuckerberg might have had a great idea – but he didn’t know how to turn it into a great company. Sandberg did and that’s exactly what she accomplished. She took the concept and turned it into a juggernaut.

A lot of how she did so was by looking for, at and to women – within the company and in its partnerships with advertisers and other revenue-generating relationships.

Twitter, Facebook, iPhone Apps - not the usual stuff of a blog focussing on corporate reporting but then times-are-a-changing. 

Not so many years ago, I was involved in the production of an annual report for an international group that involved many late nights at the printers checking proof copies of the final report.  Once we were finally sure that every ‘t' was crossed and ‘i' dotted and the page breaks were in the right place we allowed the presses to roll.

Any folks in the North of Scotland join us over on facebook. Search for 'CIMA Aberdeen'.

 

The more members we get the more funding we will get for events, and that means social events too! Have your say on what sort of events you'd like to see brought up to Aberdeen whether talks, CPD event or social events.

Hi,

Has anybody noticed that ACCA / ICAEW have their own network on Facebook but CIMA don't?

 I think we should have one.
