What next ?

My bag's heavy with IBM business cards. I must say it felt a bit weird having to write my name & email address on the back of people's own business cards every time they asked for my non-existent business card but hey, at least I don't have to carry my business cards around. Hmm.

The best thing about the conference was probably the networking piece. We now know some people perfect to help with our strategy work and over the next few weeks we'll be leveraging those contacts to progress our visioning/design/... In fact, following some of the one-to-one discussions we had during LoLA about where we are in our strategy definition work, IBM seem also very keen on giving us their best to make sure we don't become people-ready.

Overall, lots to look forward to in terms of working with IBM over the next few months. I will be setting up a "room" in Bluehouse to facilitate discussions with the relevant people in IBM - should be a fire test for their newest cross-organisational collaboration flagship : )

Next RDV @ Lotus Sphere 2009 !
