In Wellington currently – flew up yesterday on the red-eye, (in my shiny new suit.. gah..) and it’s definitely been a very interesting and full round of fairly high level meetings so far. It has been interesting meeting the heads of the various business groups (Radio Spectrum, Companies, Intellectual Property, Insolvency etc..) and also taking part and contributing to some discussions on a couple of new systems we’re getting in (potentially) – the main one for us being a new content management package. It’s designed to allow non computer literate people to create the content for pages, whilst leaving the design and maintenance etc. etc. in the hands of others. And it looks like I’m going to be managing the integration of said software (if it really happens) into the Contact Centres environment. Well, probably anyway… still, it’s a new area for me, and one I’m quite interested to try my hand at. Project Management. 2 words.. but maybe a world of pain ;) I mean am I really going to be able to maintain my quite comfortable slacker existence for much longer (and do I want to?!) Hmmmm.. will see I guess.
On the upside, I get to spend 5 days in Wellington and to tour around a little… so that’s all good. So far I like what I see (from the 11th floor of the M.E.D office just across the street from Parliament), but I’m quite looking forward to seeing the national museum (Te Papa) and exploring around a bit. Also, my wonderful cousin Thomas got me in contact with one of his friends here (should be meeting up with her tonight) so hopefully will get some local colour too.
