Well I’m off to Melbourne again this morning for the first face-to-face meeting of the ITM Centre of Excellence this year. In some ways we’ve been a bit slack this year – but our work plan is still cranking out because we’ve got the dance card aligned.
There’s a major publication coming out on the business management of IT (that is very, very excellent and I love Chris Gillies’ and Jan Barned’s work on this one – you’ll be able to buy it online very soon), a research publication on telework has come out (thanks John Campbell from University of Canberra and Jon Heales from UQ- read it on the weekend and it looks good), there’s been an article for the CFO Software Guide that comes out next month (on social networking – thanks me!), and there are two forthcoming articles on the impact of social networking on your career and business (June and July issues).
These last two are for InTheBlack and again, thanks me!
There is also a major publication coming up that is a guide to ICT Outsourcing, which wraps up a stream of work that has been around for a couple of years now.
CPA Australia has also commissioned me to write a policy and procedure guide to social networking.
As well as that I believe there is a ton of work coming through on the telework research front, and I am down to give three presentations at CPA Australia PD sessions in the next four months or so (Townsville, Brisbane, and Sydney and Melbourne, and Brisbane again).
As well as continuing on with the IT Specialists assessment panel.
There is also a total review of the websitre, and our content has been, finally, rebranded as “IT Management” rather than eBusiness, and as well as that we came up with some points to go to the 2020 Summit with. However I don’t know that that produced very much :).
So when I say ‘slack’ I actually think I may mean it in the ‘quite busy’ context.
I think our work plan is still going strong – that will be the focus today and to align the dance card for the rest of the year. April is a bit late for our first face-to-face meeting but no doubt it will all come together.
On another note – I’m thinking about setting up a video blog on this blog – technically, it’s all sorted. I just need to find something to say.
