I spent much of the week in London, attending meetings at our Fetter Lane office and visiting some London university campuses incognito.

We had our quarterly leadership meeting, always nice to have it in-person. The team is quite geographically distributed, so we rarely have the opportunity to meet in-person or even co-locate to work together. Yes we have Teams and all that, but there is something nice about the ad hoc, happenstance of working together in the same office.

I undertook some more desk research and field work for smart campus and belonging understanding.

Spent time organising and developing a Leadership Masterclass with Training and Development Team.

I did some more planning and scaffolding for the next year, our planning year ends on the 31st July.

My top tweet this week was this one.
