I’m OK at running – I’m not the fastest runner – I can do a half in just under 2 hours and I’m working on improving that time. With Milton Keynes marathon approaching this Monday, I’m looking at the weather and the course and wondering what my plan should be. With a half marathon, (at […]

Lop-sidedness or Lop-sided Ness
We’re all a bit wonky aren’t we really. One ear lower than the other, one leg longer than the other. We carry bags on one shoulder, write with one hand, drive on one side and believe it or not, when we’re pushed off balance, our bodies also react one-sidedly as well. (Is that a word?) […]

Innovation and Floatation – Part 1
This is part one of a three-part series aiming to discuss the merits or otherwise of the short term financial focus, which is seemingly inherent in public companies.
