Video: Cleaner Energy in Your Power

DCC Energy had a lot to celebrate about its end-of-year results. They asked for a short video (sub 60 seconds) that their CEO could post on LinkedIn. I took the brief from their CEO and, in turn, briefed the IDX Film & Animation team. Great engagement on social media for this post and video. Tap on the image and scroll down to watch.

Proud to help people focus on health and wellness

Glanbia's website has some great content but, at the time, not much about the people who make it all happen. We suggested a series of staff stories to bring their work to life. This one with consumer insights expert Erika Thrun was a pleasure to write.

I worked with a graphic designer on this timeline carousel to show how DCC is helping more and more commercial customers switch from fossil-based diesel to the biofuel known as HVO. We used it on LinkedIn to boost an article I wrote on the same subject for DCC's website.

Why Retrofit3D is delivering sustainability

If you’re a power plant manager with 1,100°F steam circulating through a boiler feed pump, the last thing you want is a faulty valve, potentially putting workers and customer power supply at risk. But who'd have thought you could 3D print a spare part for such a critical environment? I discovered a latent love for engineering writing for IMI.

Managing ESG risk

In 2021, I worked on four titles in Dorling Kindersley's Essential Manager series. The Leadership, Project Management, Negotiating and Managing People titles needed to be updated – the previous editions were published in 2015. One of the most significant changes of the past few years is how more businesses are valuing diversity and inclusion in a meaningful way and are measurably more successful because of it.

Leadership

One of the things that came up frequently while updating the Essential Manager series was the progress towards a much more empathetic leadership style across the board for all kinds of businesses including multinationals. The most successful businesses are not seeing it as a 'nice to have' but as a survival strategy for navigating and thriving in an increasingly unpredictable and rapidly changing world.

How saving energy starts with seeing energy

“Forty per cent of our energy is consumed in buildings, of which 50 per cent is used by heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) systems. These are crazy figures,” says IMI Hydronic product engineer Victor Hittinger.
