So there it was, our first Resources Management Team meeting without paper. We’d all been issued with new tablet computers from a leading manufacturer (but not fruit related). Actually we had only borrowed them as Bob was quick to remind me. We’d also been given some training on how to use our new devices along … Continue reading Unfolding plans 117 – paperless meeting
Unfolding plans 113 – happy workation
Wow, that was some workation. For the month of July I’ve been trying something different. While I was out and about I stopped and bought a postcard that showed the beautiful or unusual places that I happened to have visited. Every work day I sent one to my youngest daughter as she was in the … Continue reading Unfolding plans 113 – happy workation
Unfolding plans 112 – a strange feeling
What a strange feeling. I’d needed some time to get my head round some things and found a quiet space in which to do it. Paul’s office was free and so I made my camp there for the day. I’m one for open plan working as you know. I am a Guerrilla Worker but there … Continue reading Unfolding plans 112 – a strange feeling
Unfolding plans 107 – Which came first?
Now we all know that the egg came before the chicken. The first chicken came from an egg that was laid by a chicken like creature. That is how evolution works, with small changes in genetic material leading to enhancements brought about by natural selection through the reproductive process. We can put that one to … Continue reading Unfolding plans 107 – Which came first?
Unfolding plans 106 – How many sleeps?
There are only one hundred and fifty five sleeps until Christmas. I think I’ve counted the number correctly. It seems a long way away but it will soon be on top of us again. I don’t think I’ve paid for the last one yet. There are only seventy five sleeps however until this year’s National … Continue reading Unfolding plans 106 – How many sleeps?
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 69 – the ‘S’ word
Does the fact that you mention something make it real? It would seem so. One of my colleagues brought it to my attention that if I keep banging on about something it sets it squarely in people’s minds. This is the case even if I am asking if the subject is true or not. After … Continue reading Unfolding plans 69 – the ‘S’ word
Human Zoo
Day twenty six of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. I’ve made it to the end. I’ve managed to write over thirteen thousand words on a subject I knew very little about until now and made some new friends along the way. So what have I grasped (pun definitely intended)? Firstly that being handed is not … Continue reading Human Zoo
Generation Y
Day twenty five of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. Being left-handed has been a problem throughout the ages. Perhaps a mild irritation would be a better description or even a slight inconvenience. Either way I have been thinking about whether or not handedness will become a bigger or smaller problem in the future. The answer … Continue reading Generation Y
Writing
Day twenty three of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. Oh dear. I’ve tried to write with my left hand. I have ended up with the hand-writing of a four year old and the vocabulary of a fifty four year old. It is as if I am back in infants’ school, sitting at a too small … Continue reading Writing
