By the standards of any sensible person, it's been a busy week. Monday was supporting the Swedish RFP from home. Tuesday was working as an SME at a media client in London. Wednesday was working on the Swedish RFP in Stockholm. Thursday and Friday was also spent on the RFP whilst also trying to be a Dad because Maxime's mum was working away. She's back now and he's still alive so we can count that as success. The RFP is also going well and everything is under control. We're on track and I'm enjoying being on track. Solution done, estimate done, solution delivery approach starting, resource model and legal compliance to do. We've provided the first cut of the numbers to the CSG guys so they are no longer on our backs and off crunching numbers through their commercial models. The IDC is under control and the ball is in their court. Life is good. Maybe I should write a methodology for RFP responses.....
The other big news of the week is that it looks like I've scored myself my next project... programme lead of a big Finance and BI gig as part of the integration of two of the UK's biggest banks. It's all early days, and it will be complicated over the first 6 weeks because I need to close out the Swedish RFP and also go on holiday for 3 weeks, but I have to say I'm a touch excited. Variety is the spice of life and I think one of, if not the, best thing about Accenture is the regular change in projects and challenges. In actual fact, what I am really excited about is being able to build a new team. I miss my Fortis days in Belgium and the team out there. I've already re-contacted a few of them so we're going to plan a comeback tour. The strong likelihood is that we'll need to supplement these guys with some other new faces, so I'm looking forward to creating that new dynamic again.
A couple of horses to ride this weekend and then roll on next week.....
