Memories of wandering around Paris in shorts and a t-shirt on Friday faded as I pulled my big winter coat out of the cupboard for the commute to work on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>This was a week in which I:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t<li>Caught up with the team after having been out of the office for a week. Talking to our new team member got me thinking about the process of by which someone \u2018calibrates\u2019 when they join an organisation. You\u2019ve employed them to bring their expertise and want them to bring and apply their ideas, but it\u2019s difficult for them to know how much to push when lots of people have always done things a different way and aren\u2019t immediately bought into something different. Part of my role is to be a navigator to help with this process.<\/li>\n\t<li>Had a good conversation with our CIO and CTO that got me thinking about how many attempts I have seen in my career to create one master set of data definitions, and standardised data, running on a single system that everyone in an organisation can use. It <em>feels<\/em> like it should be the right answer, but I\u2019m not sure that it is. Having a big, centralised system means that the small defects and improvements that could have a significant impact for a small part of the company may never get addressed if they are constantly being compared for value against much larger changes. Maybe <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Conway's_law\" title=\"Wikipedia: Conway\u2019s law\">Conway\u2019s law<\/a> isn\u2019t all bad?<\/li>\n\t<li>Reviewed and updated the draft service request for two new members of staff to join us to support the technology in our shared meeting spaces.<\/li>\n\t<li>Had our weekly meeting with our audio\/visual design vendor. There\u2019s plenty going on as we head towards the procurement and installation of equipment in our shared meeting spaces.<\/li>\n\t<li>Met with our divisional Chief Information Security Officer to discuss planned changes to one of our technical policies that will have, hopefully, a small impact on just a few people in our part of the company.<\/li>\n\t<li>Joined the kickoff for a cyber security-focused project, reviewing the scope with the team. The work that has been done so far has surfaced lots of assumptions and points of clarification, so it was very satisfying to see these documented and worked through systematically.<\/li>\n\t<li>Attended our Microsoft Copilot working group meeting. The number of attendees is smaller than I would like, but the people who do come are very engaged and willing to share and collaborate, resulting in an excellent discussion.<\/li>\n\t<li>Took part in our software delivery team\u2019s retrospective and sprint planning meeting.<\/li>\n\t<li>Met with colleagues who are working on our document management project to discuss where we are, what we need to do next and how we can try to accelerate the work. We\u2019ve put a daily check-in meeting in the diary for now which may help.<\/li>\n\t<li>Had a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion forum training session on how targets are set and tracked for ethnicity, gender and disabilities in our organisation in South Africa.<\/li>\n\t<li>Met with my Executive Partner at our information technology research and advisory firm for our monthly catch-up. He\u2019s going over and above for us right now, which I am very grateful for. Our meetings always result in me coming away with good questions to ask myself and think about.<\/li>\n\t<li>Had a short meeting with colleagues to check in on the project to refurbish one of our offices.<\/li>\n\t<li>Joined the weekly meeting with our sister company to discuss the refurbishments in our building as well as our joint work.<\/li>\n\t<li>Ran our internal monthly check-in meeting to review both the work going on in our building and the couple of small changes that are still outstanding from our own refurbishment project.<\/li>\n\t<li>Went to the pub with a bunch of colleagues from our office. We sometimes find ourselves in conversation at work where we feel as though we need to stop and \u2018save it for the pub\u2019. But the pub time never comes around. So I remedied this by putting a date in the diary. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves as they put the world to rights.<\/li>\n\t<li>Hosted our latest <a href=\"https:\/\/albumclub.info\" title=\"Album Club\">Album Club<\/a>, instalment <a rel=\"tag\" class=\"hashtag u-tag u-category\" href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/tag\/175\/\">#175<\/a> in an unbroken monthly series. A Monday was the only day that everyone could make, so a Monday it had to be. I decided to separate the art from the artist and chose The Bluetones\u2019 first album from 1996, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Expecting_to_Fly_(album)\" title=\"Wikipedia: Expecting to Fly (album)\">Expecting to Fly<\/a><\/em>. I fell in love with this record when I heard it during my first term at university, and the songs have been with me since. I\u2019ve not been inclined to listen to them after reading the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/the-bluetones-mark-morriss-accused-of-abuse-by-ex-wife-3097467\" title=\"NME: The Bluetones\u2019 Mark Morriss accused of abuse by ex-wife\">allegations about lead singer Mark Morriss\u2019s behaviour<\/a>, but after reading Claire Dederer\u2019s book <em><a href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2024\/10\/17\/monsters-a-fans-dilemma\/\" title=\"Andrew Doran: \ud83d\udcda Monsters: A Fan\u2019s Dilemma\">Monsters: A Fan\u2019s Dilemma<\/a><\/em> I feel as though I\u2019ve given myself permission to enjoy the music that I already own again. I wouldn\u2019t go and see them live, though. <\/li>\n\t<li>Somehow finished the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/learnedleague.com\/\" title=\"Learned League\">Learned League<\/a> season in fourth place in my division, which means I\u2019ll now be promoted to the division above. If past performance is anything to go by, my appearance may not last for very long before I\u2019m relegated again.<\/li>\n\t<li>Set my alarm to wake up early on Sunday to sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/londonwaleslondon.com\" title=\"London Wales London\">London Wales London<\/a> 2026. I woke just after 6am but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audax.uk\/event-details\/calendar\/13546-london_wales_london\" title=\"Audax UK: London Wales London\">Audax UK<\/a> site didn\u2019t start accepting signups until 7am. The 200 places all went in about an hour. As night fell during <a href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2025\/05\/10\/london-wales-london-2025\/\" title=\"Andrew Doran: \ud83d\udeb4\u200d\u2642\ufe0f London-Wales-London 2025\">this year\u2019s ride<\/a>, I remember saying to my fellow cyclists \u201cIf I ever sign up to anything like this again, please shoot me.\u201d I hope they don\u2019t. We\u2019ve got plenty of cyclists from the club signed up this time, so it should be an adventure. (I still have no shame in reserving the right to pull out if the weather looks atrocious, though.)<\/li>\n\t<li>Had a great ride with the cycling club on Saturday morning, and was so pleased to see our club chairman at the end of the ride. He recently came off his bike on one of our weekly rides as he was going downhill, resulting in serious injuries. Being up and about is fantastic progress. I\u2019m hoping he\u2019ll be back out with us at some point when he\u2019s ready.<\/li>\n\t<li>Took advantage of a break in the weather by getting out for a 10km run on Sunday morning. As I got close to my house I noticed I\u2019d only done 9.5km, so I did a lap around the block to round it up.<\/li>\n\t<li>Enjoyed a lovely get-together for Sunday lunch at my parents\u2019 house along with my brothers and their families. We missed our having our eldest son there, but he was enjoying a day at the beach in Texas.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Podcasts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t<li>I think John Harris may be my favourite politics podcaster.
