Dateline: Delta flights from Tallahassee via Atlanta to Indy, 28 September 2005
Gave a 75-minute presentation today (on four screens-first time for me) in a decent sized ballroom to a decent-sized crowd of roughly 100-125 at the annual Florida government conference. Started with PNM overview, then a long bit on cyber-security, drawing here and there upon some of the excellent ideas presented at the AFEI conference a couple of weeks back (where the briefs were quite good), then wrapping up with a basic Enterra pitch on enterprise resiliency. Then some Q&A and a nice lunch in the arena where FSU plays basketball. The lunch was with a bunch of local FLA government officials and senior corporate types, and the discussion was good enough that by the time my hosts pulled me away for my flight, I had forgotten to eat most of my lunch! (Not that I need any more trips to the buffet with all the conferences, etc. I attend.)
Then two flights home, interrupted by a nice long phonecon with Mark Warren, where we gabbed about BFA now that we had final copies in our hands. That was a great discussion, because we both feel good about the text and look ahead to what we imagine would logically complete the PNM trilogy . . . say . . . 18 months from now.
Still, no carts before any horses. Got a book to move. Warren may be done on this one, but I have many miles to go.
Here's the daily catch:
■ Bush wants his domestic SysAdmin force-now!
■ Beyond the endgame in Iraq
■ China's emergence on the world cultural stage
■ The New Core likes to remodel
■ Resilient enterprise book
■ America's latest immigration bulge tops out-sort of
■ Yet another example of why strategic communication is a complete waste of time
■ When the disconnected connect, "new" resources are inevitably found
