well whaddya know - got a call from them this morning to schedule my installation!

A 'reckoner' for those of us for whom Amis was an anchor; For sure 'forged' my teenage/ becoming adult mind.. I agree with all others here on 'Money' and the searing 'London Fields' - but I'd also highlight 'Success' and 'Other People' - gorgeous; RIP MA

[Penguin Books UK @PenguinUKBooks]

We are devastated at the death of our author and friend, Martin Amis. Our thoughts are with all his family and loved ones, especially his children and wife Isabel. He leaves a towering legacy and an indelible mark on the British cultural landscape, and will be missed enormously.

Many (most?) exec boards would balk at this hard truth ("build a better plan!"); I've seen many orgs hit the 'trough of disillusionment' 18 months into a 'planned' 24 month 'transformation'(?!)... and start again! ("THIS time we'll get the plan *right*..")

Priceless - if I only had a £ for every time I heard..

Always a real pleasure to catch up with the lovely people at Contech - thanks again for having me along today @ConTechLive #Contech2022

It's time for #mapcamp again! Thanks to the organisers for an INCREDIBLE agenda; Best pitch(ever?):
"What can gaming and spinning yarn teach us about the metaverse that we would have missed if we had only looked at it from our professional perspective?"

"By creating a Research/ Dev lab, we will boost Innovation & propel Digital Transformation!"

A complicated story perfectly/ succinctly told - love the juxtaposition .. If I only had a £ for every time I'd heard ..

@C4Sport @SuperLeague @Channel4 @leedsrhinos @WarringtonRLFC Brilliant stuff - thank you @C4Sport for bringing the wonderful game back home to regular TV - so well put together / presented - @adamhillscomedy and @HelenSkelton aced it - Adam's intro sent shivers down my spine ✊.. gutted we only have 10 games ..

@MichaelLCrick I'm old enough to remember when you were finding the stories that created the day's headlines -not so much now somehow - Emily continues to make what you struggle so hard to deliver seem effortless ...

X : Your CloudRight article - https://t.co/afTU8WqcKC
Me : ... yes?
X : You're basically saying serverless first, cloud second, everything else try to avoid unless inertia forces you to?
Me : That's about the sum of it. Use a map though and don't forget to challenge inertia etc.

@DPDgroup_news Another fail from #DPDUK; I get to watch the driver on your *hopeless* app cruise by the stated slot (14:18 - 15:18) and then FIVE HOURS later at 20:12 I get a email: "sorry we missed you"- should I have been somewhere other than the delivery address ?

[Finbarr Joy @FinbarrJoy]

#MapCamp - That was *SOME* 'fireside chat'- amazing end to an amazing day - I can *feel* the new synapses popping; Unexpected Derry Girls and Frozen 2; Thank you so much @TrialByTruth, @jdcarlston, @snowded & of course @swardley !

[Finbarr Joy @FinbarrJoy]

Loving #MapCamp2021 - Barely 3 hours in and I'm already overwhelmed with these parallel streams of goodness! So thankful for the playback facility - thank you so much @CatSwetel, @bodamianrapsody, @coderinheels, and of course @swardley!!!

[Finbarr Joy @FinbarrJoy]

It's likely a damning indictment of the state of my psyche (soul?) that I'm in tears (laughter!) at this.. but nonetheless I don't feel this is getting the love it deserves - well played both @CCBTRANSMISSION and @QuinnyPig #ChaosEngineering @verica_io

So what IS our *strategy*? In this world of noise/ confusion and BLAH - a delightfully simple choice: continue in distracted/ knee-jerked/ copy-paste doubt .. or find YOUR *WAY* through mapping - this is a ridiculously cheap ticket to AWARENESS..

[Simon Wardley @swardley]

Map Camp, 13th October ... is now ... live

Looking forward to this. We have an amazing lineup of wonderful speakers - https://t.co/hw29z7Z9MH
