13 Strides

How long should a meeting last at 13 strides?

Monday August 16, 2010

The answer is obvious! 13 minutes!!!

It’s something we’ve been trying in the office with our morning SCRUM meetings. Inspired by the new Rework book by 37signals, and a quirky response from one of our developers Dawit (in a call to a client, he said their work would be amended in 13 minutes), we are trying to keep morning updates as short and snappy as possible.

Performance of the Week 10.8.09

Tuesday August 10, 2010

PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK
Just when you thought his career had reached its peak and the only way was down, Tiger Woods bounces back looking better than ever.
The American golfer overturned a three-shot deficit to win the Bridgestone Invitational - the latest round in the World Golf Championships - at the Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio by four strokes from overnight leader Padraig Harrington.
OK, Harrington may have blown his chances with a disastrous triple bogey but Woods - after spending over six months on the sidelines with a knee problem - is looking formidable again.
This was Woods' second win in consecutive weeks after his triumph at the Buick Open and certainly reaffirms his sttus as World No 1 after he
missed the cut at The Open last month.
Interestingly, reigning champion Harrington and four-time winner Woods will be swiftly re-united when they are paired together for the first two rounds of the season's final major, the USPGA Championship, which begins on Thursday at Hazeltine National in Minnesota.

It’s really difficult to say why… the obvious challenges of paid work coming first and clients needing the attention they deserve are definitely a factor. But there is more to it. We’re privileged in that we think we have a great logo identity and brand that no-one internally has questioned. But then once website starts to be a discussion, the blank canvas is so difficult, and actually makes us realise how difficult it is to be a client
