The Week in Review


Auckland - Host to Thursday and Friday's meetings

As week's go, last week was a belter.

The news from London published in the previous posting only partially covers off Pingar's market entry moves in the UK. That has become a huge priority right now and a number of simultaneous activities are underway to consolidate this process.

Back in New Zealand, meetings in Auckland on Thursday and Friday set up two very specific NZ-focused opportunities. I would expect these to become more 'public' next month.

And in Tauranga, a meeting with Jodie Tipping of Cucumber Software means I will be playing a more active role in the Bay of Plenty ICT Cluster. I hope to be able to contribute.

Commercialising a start-up from New Zealand means that a whole host of variables need to be managed. Development, recruitment, funding, marketing and partnering. Throw into the mix, the fact that perhaps 30% of the next twelve months will be spent offshore and even the most effective time planning comes under some pressure.

Today provides some respite and an opportunity to plan. Monday and it starts all over again.
