The boys and my wife are all off school so it made sense to get away from the keyboard when they are around, although we hadn\u2019t made any plans.<\/p>\n<p>The three days where I was at my desk felt like they were filled with a lot of \u2018busywork\u2019. There are lots of upsides of working in a large multinational company, but there are sometimes downsides too. Hopefully this is just a blip and won\u2019t be an ongoing feature of the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n<p>This was a week in which I:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Said goodbye to a friend and colleague in our Americas IT support team. It never fails to amaze me how quickly things move in the US, with two weeks being the standard notice period.<\/li>\n<li>Met with the Americas IT support team to talk about handover and support while a replacement is hired.<\/li>\n<li>Continued to coach some of our teams in their daily standup and Kanban board review practice.<\/li>\n<li>Met with some of the management team to discuss how we can continue to improve \u2018team effectiveness\u2019, and what opportunities there are for upskilling when at least half of our team don\u2019t work directly for our organisation.<\/li>\n<li>Reviewed the areas of focus for our team for the remainder of this year. We sit in the intersection of a large number of different, larger constructs, all of whom have their own way of representing their aims and objectives. We need to define something that speaks to all of these that is also useful for our team in their everyday work.<\/li>\n<li>Got final approval to on-board our new Beijing IT support team member, after some last-minute unexpected hurdles. Hopefully he will start with us next week.<\/li>\n<li>Started to think about how we can get a couple of important infrastructure projects completed this year with a constrained budget.<\/li>\n<li>Attended a number of architecture discussions for the large group-wide programme that we are involved with. We all make sense of the world through the lens of what we\u2019ve seen before; I can\u2019t help but think that the core of a big SaaS CRM programme is just like an ERP programme of 20 years ago. Am I wrong?<\/li>\n<li>Met with the CEO of a very interesting organisation that gets young people involved with company boards to bring fresh thinking to real business problems. Hopefully this will be the start of something good.<\/li>\n<li>Attended a very interesting short talk on work a \u2018hackathon\u2019 run by our internal AI and Data Analytics team where they used a number of months of historic client revenue data to make predictions on future revenue.<\/li>\n<li>Met with a colleague to discuss some upcoming contract renewals in our team.<\/li>\n<li>Attended the <em><a title=\"CAE Live 2021\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscae.com\/cae-live-2021\/\">CAE Live<\/a><\/em> webinar on the topic of \u2018Purpose, People and Poverty \u2014 The Future of Technology\u2019. Like most events of this type, half of the value is in the attendee chat and questions from the audience. It was fun to be promoting the virtues of <a title=\"micro.blog\" href=\"https:\/\/micro.blog\">micro.blog<\/a> and the <a title=\"IndieWeb\" href=\"https:\/\/indieweb.org\">IndieWeb<\/a> at an event with Sir Tim Berners-Lee.<\/li>\n<li>Received an email out of the blue from an ex-colleague and friend that I worked with 15 years ago. He is a Buddhist, and funded time away on camps in India and Nepal through working in IT in London. I\u2019ve now learned that he didn\u2019t return and instead built a home in the Himalayan foothills, got married and <a title=\"Amazon.co.uk: Illusions On The Path: Buddhist Thought For Modern Times by Stan B. Martin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Illusions-Path-Buddhist-Thought-Modern\/dp\/1796412147\/ref=nodl_\">wrote a book<\/a>. It was so lovely to reconnect.<\/li>\n<li>Joined the <a title=\"Meetup: Microsoft 365 Security &amp; Compliance User Group\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/m365sandcug\/\">Microsoft 365 Security and Compliance User Group<\/a> and attended <a title=\"Meetup: Microsoft 365 Security &amp; Compliance User Group \u2014 March 2021\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/m365sandcug\/events\/276211352\/\">a meeting<\/a> on \u2018Teams Architecture for Compliance\u2019 with <a title=\"Albert Hoitingh\" href=\"https:\/\/alberthoitingh.com\">Albert Hoitingh<\/a>. I learned that the \u2018code snippet\u2019 component of a Teams message currently gets completely ignored by the auditing processes. (Who knew that it was more than just formatting?)<\/li>\n<li>Celebrated our eldest boy\u2019s 14th birthday, his second in lockdown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7165\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-1.jpeg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-1.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-1-700x525.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Managed to get out on my bike for my second \u2018real\u2019 ride of the year. I was gutted to find that the beautiful path through <a title=\"Wikipedia: Eythrope\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eythrope\">Eythrope Park<\/a> to the grounds of Waddesdon Manor is <a title=\"Amersham CC: Eythrope Park \u2013 Restricted Access 1st June 2020\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amershamrcc.com\/eythrope-park-restricted-access-1st-june-2020\/\">now closed to the public<\/a>. Apparently a cyclist was rude to one of the <a title=\"Wikipedia: Baron Rothschild\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baron_Rothschild\">Rothschilds<\/a>, which when coupled with the increased number of people using the route at speed has resulted in it being closed permanently. I had to take a detour by the relatively horrible A41 to get back onto my route.<\/li>\n<li>Saw my youngest son play his first football match this year. It\u2019s great that activities have started up again.<\/li>\n<li>Joined some close friends in their garden for cake, the first time I\u2019ve socialised in person with anyone for months. It was cold but we made the most of it, and it was so lovely to see them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7168\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-2-scaled.jpeg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-2-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-2-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-2-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-2-700x525.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7169\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage.gif\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Went for an Easter Sunday lunch visit to my parents\u2019 back garden, the first time we\u2019ve seen them this year. We enjoyed the best weather of the weekend, and at one point even started applying sun lotion. It was lovely to see the boys off of their games consoles and making their own entertainment, reinventing \u2018<a title=\"Wikipedia: Blow football\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blow_football\">blow football<\/a>\u2019 on the table tennis table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7166\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DraggedImage-1.gif\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Next week:<\/strong> Another couple of days off before heading back \u2018to the office\u2019.
