Apologies for not penning er typing my thoughts down earlier but the last fortnight has been quite manic.
While my project for Jeremy (APN Online NZ) continues, I have also been in talks with Robert Skeffington (APN Director of Strategy) and David McGrath (APN Director of Content) about my next project.
I am in an enviable position where there are a lot of opportunities available to get involved in different projects and after much discussion it was decided that I would try and juggle my responsibilites with Robert's Corporate Strategy team while I'm wrapping things up at Online.
I am very excited about being a part of this team as it will give me an insight of how Corporate Strategy is created in a methodical fashion rather than the usual gut feel that appears in most businesses.
I have also decided to continue my Master's study by picking up a paper for the semester. This means that I cannot be based in Sydney for the duration of this semester of study.
On the other front, the new fast track group start their induction from Aug 1 before they move into different areas of the business.
Last week I got a chance to watch my very first Ice Hockey game live when Canada took on the USA in an exhibtion match at Auckland's Vector Arena. It was an exciting night with a sold out of crowd of over 10,000; 90% of which were Canadian supporters (yours truly included)
Canada went on the offence early, taking a 2-0 lead before the americans hit back hard and looked in charge at 3-2. Canadians scored in the dying moments of full time and the game had to be decided on sudden death which saw Canada win it!
