This month Rother Dowson’s John Buchanan has submitted a dossier of documents for us to objectively put Social Media in the Work Place… on Trial. Who has got in to trouble, lost their jobs and the circumstances leading to thier demise with come under scrutiny.
Those unfamiliar with the Tech on Trial concept, a ‘local legal bod’ (until march 2012 that is someone from RotheraDowson) provides insight and balances debate surrounding the technology topic on trial. October’s topic is Social Media in the Work Place.
A ‘digital dossier’ ( a collection of web links) defines the scope of the discussions giving specific cases and reports from the media and from the legal industry chosen by the month’s ‘local legal bod’. As I said in the opening, October is John Buchanan.
We meet in the cafe of Nottingham’s Galleries of Justice at 9.30am having had the opportunity to read the documents cited for illustration. 9.45am The ‘local legal bod’, this month, John will take 10 minutes to explain why he chose the articles and offer some perspective on the topic which is the months on trial subject. From 9.55am we all then Drink our beverages or choice, eat cakes and scran while being outrages at technology, wowed by it, daunted and best of all with a ‘legal bod’ to hand enlightened and refrained from hysteria and conspiracy! All finishes at 11.30am.
