New Year Resolutions

by Steve Prentice  |  January 2, 2009  |  Comments Off

OK, time to get down to business again – the celebrations are over and reality is coming back to the surface. Yes I know it is kind of cheesy, but New Year resolutions are a good discipline for an analyst – I will even promise to look back at the end of the year to see how well I did!

First, I really must blog more regularly, my efforts over the first few months wre way too sporadic to be valuable.

Secondly, I really must try to cut down on my travelling (my carbon footprint would be a credit to a woolly mammoth!) and persuade people to start using some of the virtual world and remote collaboration tools that are becoming available.

Thirdly, keep pushing the limits on presentation materials.  I always intend to, but as deadlines loom the best of intentions tend to disappear out of the window. Therefore to succeed on this one I will need to keep up-to-date with stuff more (which might be easier if I am not rushing for another flight!)

Fourthly – there is no fourth. Three observations were enough for Isaac Newton, so they are sure as heck good enough for mere mortals!

Happy New Year!
