A 'reckoner' for those of us for whom Amis was an anchor; For sure 'forged' my teenage/ becoming adult mind.. I agree with all others here on 'Money' and the searing 'London Fields' - but I'd also highlight 'Success' and 'Other People' - gorgeous; RIP MA
We are devastated at the death of our author and friend, Martin Amis. Our thoughts are with all his family and loved ones, especially his children and wife Isabel. He leaves a towering legacy and an indelible mark on the British cultural landscape, and will be missed enormously.

Many (most?) exec boards would balk at this hard truth ("build a better plan!"); I've seen many orgs hit the 'trough of disillusionment' 18 months into a 'planned' 24 month 'transformation'(?!)... and start again! ("THIS time we'll get the plan *right*..")

It's time for #mapcamp again! Thanks to the organisers for an INCREDIBLE agenda; Best pitch(ever?): "What can gaming and spinning yarn teach us about the metaverse that we would have missed if we had only looked at it from our professional perspective?" @kb2bkb, @lizthegrey

A complicated story perfectly/ succinctly told - love the juxtaposition .. If I only had a £ for every time I'd heard ..

X : Your CloudRight article - dxc.com/us/en/insights/persp… Me : ... yes? X : You're basically saying serverless first, cloud second, everything else try to avoid unless inertia forces you to? Me : That's about the sum of it. Use a map though and don't forget to challenge inertia etc.

It's likely a damning indictment of the state of my psyche (soul?) that I'm in tears (laughter!) at this.. but nonetheless I don't feel this is getting the love it deserves - well played both @CCBTRANSMISSION and @QuinnyPig #ChaosEngineering @verica_io youtu.be/okZkHKkaYJY

So what IS our *strategy*? In this world of noise/ confusion and BLAH - a delightfully simple choice: continue in distracted/ knee-jerked/ copy-paste doubt .. or find YOUR *WAY* through mapping - this is a ridiculously cheap ticket to AWARENESS..
Map Camp, 13th October ... is now ... live Looking forward to this. We have an amazing lineup of wonderful speakers - mapcamp.co.uk/
