How many blog posts are titled New Year Resolutions every January?

Dear readers, Happy 2011,

 

New year, and new resolutions (we never get tired of promising things to ourselves, isn’t it?).

1. Make time for blogging,
2. Make time for tweeting,
3. Make time for my company-internal (how should I call it???) micro-blogging site.
4. Make time for writing weekly reflections

Weekly reflections are something a dear former manager of mine started a few years ago. He thought the week over, poured down some thoughts in an e-mail and pushed the “send to all his organization” button. By doing that, he updated everyone about what was keeping him awake at night, used the channel to thank others for achievements/efforts, opened issues up for general discussion. All in all, no fluff! Well, I am planning to do that…not in an e-mail, but through this blog.

 

So, looking back at 2010 (it won’t take long, I assure you). What happened?

• I started a new job;
• met new colleagues; 
• learnt the dynamics of a parallel (non-telecom) value chain;
• joined a cool career development program at work;
• evangelized about customer value management;
• worked with innovation; 
• discussed heavily the future of management/leadership; 
• developed a passion for innovation;
• evangelized again about customer value management;
• deepened my passion and saw the benefits for corporate openness (down with silos, out with collaboration);
• thought of disrupting even more the collaboration/innovation platform space by opening a company of my own;
• decided I will continue to evangelize about customer value management;
• gave up (for good) the idea of opening a company of my own.

So with that much happening, why didn’t I blog my heart out? My take: I think…decisions were made too fast, I had too little of “I will sleep over it”. But this will change…in 2011, telcostrategies will be a better telcostrategies. :-)

 

For now, what is new:

• I moved to Asia
• I am out there, close to our customers. Yay!

Ambitions:

• Sell a lot!
• Improve this poor Mandarin of mine….

That’s it for now.

 

Take Care.
