We’re into July now and so should be about half way through the working year. Perhaps it’s time for an update on progress, a health check or a score card marked against the eight things that I was going to try and achieve this year. In case you have forgotten they were (are): Women in … Continue reading Unfolding plans 100 – a score card
Unfolding plans 99 – I was even trending
This is part two of the presentation I made at the conference on ‘Transforming The Way We Work: A Vision for Mobile Public Sector.’ It is an abridged version. OK, it is cheating a bit but I’m not the only blogger to have ever recycled his or her own material. After all I did spend … Continue reading Unfolding plans 99 – I was even trending
Unfolding plans 98 – astronauts for boys
I’ve gone on the front foot. I’ve started to talk as much as I can about the great things that are going on in the region, trying to change perceptions and break down stereotypes. I’m doing the same with our own business. There are some fabulous tales to tell. Yes, we have issues to deal … Continue reading Unfolding plans 98 – astronauts for boys
Unfolding plans 97 – chugging tugboats
This Guerrilla Working thing is catching on, at least in part. I find I can work more or less anywhere, with or without a wireless network. If I’m offline then I can catch up with all of the things that have been synchronised with my laptop, such as mail. I can do reports and presentations … Continue reading Unfolding plans 97 – chugging tugboats
Unfolding plans 96 – Phil Jackman Author
I am an author. I am a writer. I have written a book and it has been published. I doubt it is the best book ever to have been written and I don’t expect it to be in the best sellers list but that is not the point. It is published and a small number … Continue reading Unfolding plans 96 – Phil Jackman Author
Unfolding plans 94 – exciting times in the North East
London is a hot place when the sun shines. On Wednesday it got well over thirty degrees. I think I was the only one in the capital to be wearing a jacket and tie but standards have to be kept. I had caught the train down (yes not up) to present at a conference on … Continue reading Unfolding plans 94 – exciting times in the North East
Unfolding plans 93 – postcards from the edge
Sales of postcards are going up, or coming down. It depends upon where you get your information from. Some publications suggest that people still like to send them as pastiches of their time away on holiday as they lend a more personal touch to their correspondence with friends and family. Others however claim that they … Continue reading Unfolding plans 93 – postcards from the edge
Unfolding plans 92 – what was I doing in Sunderland?
So what was I doing in Sunderland? You ask me? You know that I have an interest in regional technology and such issues as collaboration across the differing authorities so when Sunderland City Council announced that they were planning a market engagement event for a technology partner then I had to wangle a ticket. (Actually … Continue reading Unfolding plans 92 – what was I doing in Sunderland?
Unfolding plans 91 – What did Steven Kelly ever do for me?
What did Steven Kelly ever do for me? I’d come across Steven before but never heard him speak until Dynamo15. He was the Key Note speaker in his role as the Chief Executive Officer of Sage, the North East’s only FTSE100 company. I loved what he said. He was really inspirational and came across as … Continue reading Unfolding plans 91 – What did Steven Kelly ever do for me?
Unfolding plans 90 – The one I’ve been looking forward to
This is the one that I’ve been looking forward to, the broadband launch at Wolsingham. Finally we have made it to the places where they said it would never happen. I forget how long it is that I’ve been working on the problem of poor broadband. It could be as long as ten years. I … Continue reading Unfolding plans 90 – The one I’ve been looking forward to
