Day 99 – 3 June 2014 Broadband Delivery UK keeps telling us that we are running one of the best programmes across the country. Apparently we are in their top five out of forty four. I’m not sure how they judge this or how we could get to number one, even if we wanted to. … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 99

Day 98 – 2 June 2014 Today was a game of two halves. The morning was in County Hall in Durham and the afternoon was in County Hall in Northumberland. This is going to get confusing. After a couple of very short meetings about the web and communications for Digital Durham I tried something different … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 98

Day 97 – 30 May 2014 I’ve started to read ‘Accelerating Health Care Transformation with Lean and Innovation’ by Paul Plsek, a snappy title if ever there was one. It is the follow up book to ‘Transforming Health Care’ about the Virginia Mason approach to serving patients and has reminded me that we still haven’t … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 97

Day 96 – 29 May 2014 Having reflected on yesterday’s training session I am very pleased with the outcome. Darran always does a great job. He manages to get the balance right between the trainer and a colleague. There were only eleven of us out of seventeen and so having this in half term might … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 96

Day 95 – 28 May 2014 I had so much to think about from our visit to Edinburgh that I nearly missed my stop coming back. Fortunately Steve tapped me on the shoulder which woke me from my day dream. I nearly took out a small child in my rush to get off the train. … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 95

Day 94 – 27 May 2014 Well, that wasn’t the best bank holiday weekend ever. The fact that I was able to clear my inbox should give you some idea. No emails at all, absolute zero. I normally achieve this at the end of the calendar year when things are quiet. It won’t last. This … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 94

Day 93 – 23 May 2014 I wasn’t sure whether today would count or not. A domestic issue resulted in me, or rather Pam, having to rearrange all my appointments (there were only nine of them and so could have done without) but I ended up doing enough work between times to justify its inclusion … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 93

Day 92 – 22 May 2014 So, before I get onto today it’s worth recapping on something from yesterday which happened after I went to press. I try to keep my blogs to around five hundred words and I could have filled a book. Over lunch there was a session on the future of the … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 92

Day 91 – 21 May 2014 Thinking Digital is one of the highpoints of the year for me. This is the third time I have been (it turns out that there have been seven) and I would recommend it to anyone who has any interest in digital and the affect it is having upon all … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 91

Day 90 – 20 May 2014 This day has been a long time in coming. Number eight in my ten things I was going to achieve this year is to collaborate with another authority and over the last few months we have been working ever closer with our colleagues in Northumberland. Several years ago we … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 90
