A week of blue skies and hot weather made a welcome change. I got up to:
- Started full steam ahead with using Basecamp for our projects and it has already highlighted little details with big impacts that could easily with slipped by. I’m already noticing a reduction in meetings which is great
- Had our quarterly meeting with our major funder Arts Council England. Lots of hard work last week in preparing for this meeting paid off.
- Paul and I discussed how we can get cracking with using an iPad as a way to record and edit audio instead of pocket recorders
- Ran a half day kick-off meeting Aardman and University of Bristol for a new project
- Chopped it up with the education team about why we blog and how they can get started. I was pleased to hear others are also interested in blogging so I hope to run a series of mini workshops soon
- Met with Stephen Gray to see what plans he has for using an oculus rift headset in our Moved by Conflict exhibition.
- Enjoyed my regular meeting with our IT Services account manager. I fed back about our Arts Council plans for 2015-18 and discussed how we could best have a voice in any IT strategy seeing as we are the customer after all
- Contributed to our monthly senior management team session
- Had a sudden lightbulb moment about the direction for the website ‘phase 2’ and got to planning it
- Spent some time reflecting on how difficult change is in an organisational culture
- Enjoyed an end of week drink with a fair few colleagues as we said farewell to a few members of staff
