Another infrequent Saturday Morning Musing and glorious weather has returned to the UK. It encourages us outside to do something different after a long cold winter. Running the risk of repeating a well-known phrase, 'if you do want you've always done then you'll get what you've always got', I thought I'd focus this week on Change.
Change is fun, exciting and sometime scary. To fully benefit from change takes careful planning. Whether it's something simple, like starting a new email campaign or something more involved such as introducing a new product or service, understanding how resources have to be allocated is key to success. Change for change's sake is futile - if you've reached that point then I suggest you seek help.
So what changes have I made this week. A couple of quite trivial things - adding new emails addresses to personalise our communications and adding another Workshop to the calendar. On a more fundamental note, consideration of offering a new service - Intelligent Admin - an interim, outsourced adminstrative service offering clients more time to do what they do best leaving us to handle the repetitive tasks. It will take some refining. Consequently, watch this space.
So why the title of this Post? Well, the contrasting colours of the fresh green leaves and the sky makes me think of the contrasting (and complementary) skills Sheila and I bring to Alterra. Her attention to detail and my creativity, her calm and my frenetic behaviour, her well-rooted, traditional approach versus my more risky attitude make for a great combination. There's a place for everyone in the Lime Green and Blue world.
