Christer's thoughts - Summary of the Year and a Creative New Year!
 
The past year has been incredibly exciting, and now it's a new year!
 
To leave IBM and start up my own business was a big step to dare to take. What I miss most is the daily contact with colleagues from around the world mainly via Lotus Sametime.
 
The good news is that I got many new contacts and joined various networks that have created unprecedented opportunities. IBM is a pretty closed world and when working on projects you are easily swallowed up by it and internal procedures.
 
During my years at IBM, I learned much what I now have use for. Among the most important thing was to share knowledge with colleagues and use smart IT tools for internal and external collaboration.
 
A highlight from the past year is a creative workshop that I held at IBM for approx. 20 post graduates who have recently begun to Global Business Services. Another is the creative idéforumsprojekt I took initiative to and now operates in Hallstavik, Norrtälje.
 
It is also important to contribute and have the passion for what you do. And recently I received an invitation to hold a creative workshop/activity for children between 8-12 years at the World Children Art Festival June 17 to 19 Washington DC.
 
The hope is that you who read my newsletter will find something of interest and contact me for a discussion.I am convinced that the coming year is absolutely fantastic creative and want to share it with you.
