Hope that snow over the weekend doesn't cause too much trouble on the journey into the office this morning. Great IT Xmas party last week!

Really good presentations for the Dragon's Den last week. Reminder that we have some great people in the department.
Very successful Planning Day yesterday. I think our story about Brilliant Basics for IT is a compelling story and really helping our cause.
Looking forward to the Everest Fund raising Challenge today. Not too much cycling recently though...
Last minute preparation for important planning meeting this week. We have two submissions from IT for 2011. First time through for me.
Back in wet and windy UK. Getting ready for Board Planning day on the 18th. Looking forward to O/S upgrade this weekend on GI platform.
Stuck at the airport now due to high winds at Heathrow. Advert going out tomorrow and over the weekend for a new recruit into IT.
Just about every session has mentioned Social Media. Overall strategy for many is Watch:Learn:Engage. This looks pretty sensible to me.
Looking around this Gartner conference (3,500+ delegates) it looks like the iPad has replaced the laptop.
Also going to propose on 18th November that IDP moves three services into production and then focuses on building a new Membership service.
Board planning day on the 18th Nov. We are pitching for funding to upgrade the lines to the Agents offices. Mixture of fibre and super ADSL.
So, looking for some help to prepare a 15 minute session which reinforces our new Brand IT and confirms our modern and contemporary outlook.

We have been invited to speak at next years' Sales conference in January. I'm thinking that this is a great chance to demonstrate Brand IT.
Out at a conference with Stuart and Matt. Really interesting sessions on collaboration and social networking. Need a strategy quickly!
