So, November arrives and before you know it, it’s almost gone… The advent calendars are posed and ready, and I honestly believe that Santa’s sleigh will be in sight soon.
On the business front, it’s been another month of innovation, creation and demonstration.
Innovation: The Okto project I mentioned in my last update has taken a serious turn. Moving the original concept into new arenas has made November simply vanish in terms of video calls, conferences, outreach to business connections and plain old hard work in front of the PC. Excitingly, the company has employed its first member of staff, organised the corporate structure and will, by the time you read this, probably have engaged with KPMG to develop the future plans, projections and route ahead. The innovation twist is to do with IT. I can’t say too much but if AI, Deep Leaning and Neural Networks are your thing then you should contact me!
Creation:, Cloud RPO has started off wonderfully. Now seeking to employ its first member staff, it is creating jobs, creating conversations, creating thoughts and most of all creating ambition…
Demonstration: I was told a long time ago not to demo anything until you have understood its worth to the person you want to demonstrate to. This is never more true than in the IT world, Car sales world etc… However, in real life you have to demonstrate your value to people, and having done this earlier in the year I was delighted to get a call to say ‘Hey Nick – come and talk to us, we’re ready now, sorry we were so long getting in touch’.
So I went along and found a simple straight-line business that needs some vital cash, management skills and creative thinking to kick start it. I can absolutely help here I thought… So, I’m just signing some paperwork now (NDA and such like) then I’ll get to work… Absolutely up my street and these are really lovely people to work with.
I’ll confirm more details on this and the other ongoing work in hand that I have next month…
Stay safe!
