To be back felt simultaneously novel and familiar; it\u2019s amazing how quickly we adapt when things change.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday I felt very run down and tired, and wondered if it was because I had been overdoing my riding and running. Cycling around Silverstone had been much tougher than I expected. I lost a lot of salt, and other than the one electrolyte-filled drink that I brought with me and drank as I cycled, I didn\u2019t do anything to replenish it. Things improved throughout the week, but I never managed to properly catch up with rest.<\/p>\n<p>This was a week in which I:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spent time face-to-face with our CIO and a couple of my peers to assess where we are and to start to form ideas about where we need to go in the next few months. Two hours was just long enough to get lots of material out of our heads. The next steps are to let it brew a little and then try to shape it in the coming weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Started to deal with some end-user issues relating to Azure Information Protection. We\u2019ve put it in place primarily as a \u2018speed bump\u2019 to protect against data loss with external parties, but my gut is telling me that we need to provide more training than we have done so far. A small number of people have mentioned issues to me, but I am sure the pain is being felt more widely as I know most people work around problems without reporting them.<\/li>\n<li>Took part in a discussion on how we protect material non-public information in one of our key systems.<\/li>\n<li>Had a couple of meetings with sub-teams on the big group programme to discuss where our part of the organisation is and what our plans are for the next few months.<\/li>\n<li>Reviewed the cost structure for the big programme with our internal team.<\/li>\n<li>Delivered a talk to our Engineering team an internal body of knowledge that our staff should aspire to learn. I\u2019ve put together a document with an outline that I am hoping the team will collectively own and update.<\/li>\n<li>Took part in the launch of  \u2018Team Effectiveness\u2019 training and coaching being run for our team. We\u2019ll each be completing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/cliftonstrengths\/en\/home.aspx\" title=\"CliftonStrengths\">CliftonStrengths<\/a> profile and using this as an entry point for broader conversations about how we work as a team. The group delivering the training and coaching seem to be very good and I am sure that we will get something out of it, even if I am a skeptic about the validity of this kind of assessment and profiling.<\/li>\n<li>Got back on top of my work emails, getting them down to less than 100 for the first time in a few years.<\/li>\n<li>Joined a number of webinar \u2018town hall\u2019-style meetings, including one with the leadership team of our Wholesale Division, one with the CEO of our Angola office and another with our Group CTO.<\/li>\n<li>Had a random coffee with a colleague from our Wealth Management division in London.<\/li>\n<li>Reviewed and discussed the IT service agreement for our school, prior to its planned renewal in a few weeks\u2019 time.<\/li>\n<li>Attended <em>Governors and Inspection<\/em> training hosted by Helen Jones at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspireacademiestrust.org.uk\/266\/the-training-centre\" title=\"The Training Centre by Aspire\">The Training Centre by Aspire<\/a>. An incredibly useful two hours, but left me feeling the weight of all of the things we need to get done in the next few weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Along with my eldest son, joined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.berkocc.com\" title=\"Berkhamsted Cycling Club\">Berkhamsted Cycling Club<\/a> after going out for a trial ride on Saturday morning. I\u2019d been thinking about joining the club since it was set up a few years ago, but it always seemed pointless as my family commitments meant I wouldn\u2019t be able to join the club rides. I\u2019m really pleased that my eldest boy and I have found something that we can do regularly together. The club members couldn\u2019t have been more welcoming, and it will be worth forgoing a lie-in on a Saturday to get out riding with them.<\/li>\n<li>Ran the line for my youngest son\u2019s first football match of the new season.  Great to start with a victory, particularly as he is now playing 11-a-side on a seemingly giant pitch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8054\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DraggedImage-1-2.jpeg\" width=\"2160\" height=\"2160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DraggedImage-1-2.jpeg 2160w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DraggedImage-1-2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DraggedImage-1-2-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DraggedImage-1-2-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DraggedImage-1-2-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DraggedImage-1-2-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DraggedImage-1-2-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DraggedImage-1-2-700x700.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2160px) 100vw, 2160px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Watched an incredible weekend of sport, with Emma Raducanu\u2019s stunning US Open victory and a thrilling Italian Grand Prix.<\/li>\n<li>Realised I have a major book problem.
