There is always so much to do…
Enlarging upon my Tweet of a few moments ago. I’m very much looking forward to meeting over 70 new people today as we bring the “Business School” material to a new IDH region – a typical CB day of holding a new room and making new friends. The challenge that haunts me is the sheer [...]
Chris Barrow’s week of Twitters

Customer Service
Liker many others. I was pretty unimpressed with the options O2 offered to upgrade to the new IPhone 3Gs – assuming that us “early adopters” would be rewarded by jumping the queue, or paying less. Sadly, no such thing – wait until January 2010 was my legacy, unless I wanted to pay a fortune. [...]
