I’ve been at Thinking Digital today. It started yesterday afternoon with some workshops but the main event takes place today and tomorrow. If you have never been you should. Once you have been you’ll want to come back again and again. It is the must attend event of the year. So why is it such … Continue reading Unfolding plans 71 – Thinking Digital makes your head hurt #TDC15
Unfolding plans 70 – I was barred
An interesting thing happened to me the other day. I’d like to tell you about it but I was banned or at least barred. I was in a meeting with Broadband Delivery UK in the HM Treasury building on Horse Guards Road and it was a few days before the election and the cloak of … Continue reading Unfolding plans 70 – I was barred
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
Unfolding plans 68 – I’m really really looking forward to #TDC15
Next week I will be attending Thinking Digital 2015, one of the leading events in the North East digital calendar. I’m not sure if this is the third time or the fourth that I have been. It doesn’t matter because they are great events and I take so much away from them. They are an … Continue reading Unfolding plans 68 – I’m really really looking forward to #TDC15
Unfolding plans 67 – She was there to give a message
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Once again I was down in London the other day and had the pleasure of going through Kings Cross Station. Now I like the station and love what the architects have done with the front portico and waiting areas. It’s no St Pancras yet it is still … Continue reading Unfolding plans 67 – She was there to give a message
Unfolding plans 65 – excite young people about technology
Number one on my list of things to achieve this year was to try and get more women to work in the ICT industry. We recently interviewed for some apprentice vacancies. Of the nineteen applicants not one of them was female. It’s going to be a long shot yet there seems to be some momentum … Continue reading Unfolding plans 65 – excite young people about technology
Unfolding plans 62 – Stuffocation
Before you start, I didn’t buy ‘Stuffocation – Living more with less’ by James Wallman. I borrowed it from my youngest daughter when I was last visiting her flat. She always has some interesting books to grab as if I don’t have enough to read already. We share similar tastes in reading material, a little … Continue reading Unfolding plans 62 – Stuffocation
Unfolding plans 61 – When I say remote, I mean remote
There are two places that I had never been. One was inside the National Savings and Investment building in the centre of Durham City and the other was the top of Teesdale. I’ve been to both now. Do these count as one or two of the six new things I was going to do this … Continue reading Unfolding plans 61 – When I say remote, I mean remote
Unfolding plans 60 – Siloism has been on my hit list for a long time
A flyer offering a master class in ‘Eliminating Silo Mentality’ had to be of interest. Siloism has been on my hit list for a long time. It’s a perennial problem and probably a fundamental part of human nature. People like to be part of a group and the easiest way of being part of something … Continue reading Unfolding plans 60 – Siloism has been on my hit list for a long time
Unfolding plans 59 – I’ve been on a blogcation
I’ve been on a blogcation. I set aside my normal blogging activities and went on a small adventure during April. The A-Z challenge was to try and write a piece every day through Monday to Saturday during the month. The catch was that the first had to start with a subject that began with A, … Continue reading Unfolding plans 59 – I’ve been on a blogcation
