What can I tell you??? My primary focus through out these month continued to be eZeSchools PLP and Purple Club.

eZeSchools kept me busy as I worked with the CEO to develop new content agreements for the Personal Teaching and Learning Platform. During this time we succesfully closed not only the agreements which had been in the pipeline, we also engaged in developing partnership agreements for a handful of International Projects. I was also kept busy working with the technical development teams and partners if working on the next round of development and enhancements to the Platform; while my team were set the task of developing the client relartonships based on criterea which the CEO and I had agreed as part of the over-arching development plan.

Purple club kep me busy as I handed over the micro management of one of the primary pilots for the newly formed charity so that I could focus on the development of the operational backbone of the organisation and implementation of policy. As well as executing the profile raising and fund raising plans, which set in motion within day's of the charity becoming officially registered. I see myself working on evaluating and fine tuning the implementation of these plans as I move forward into 2009.

Was my thrid area of focus getting ready to go to India for the 8th IEF (Innovation and Enterpreneurship Forum) - the ladies of CRESCO-east and I decided to act on Christine's suggestion to take something unique as a gift for the conference organisers, for inviting us to particpate not only as deligates but also as speakers. To this end we decided to make a poster which quoted the President Elect - Barak Obama... and had photos of us (the ladies of CRESCO-east), Essex School of Business (Without which, we would never have been invited) & Southend in it. So photo shoots were arranged, then I designed the poster which was then printed and taken with us to India; which we presented to Atul Tandan Director of the Mundra Institute of Communications Ahemdabad, India. (More about India and the Conference - see Forum) 

... and that pretty much was it on the work front.

During this time I also made time for several CRESCO-east gatherings, went to a 'Bespoke' event... Bespoke is run by a group of very talented ladies... Their outlet is in Sutton Road, Southend. The ladies at 'Bespoke' provide a range of custom designed and made garments and soft furnishings as well as providing workshop and classes in those arts and crafts. I went to my favourite local night club [Evolution] on a handfull of occassions; and spent some quality time with my family... and was loking forward to 2009.
