First Post in 2-1/2 Months

My last blog post was 2-1/2 months ago, apologies to everyone, especially the other O&B people who I encourage to blog without blogging myself! So what's been happening with me in the past 2-1/2 months...
  • Attended the PSIA US Roadshow. I met a lot of US business people and got to bond with the top officers of the other PSIA member companies. I learned a lot about doing business in the US not just from the US businesspeople but from the other PSIA members. I met with potential clients and strategic partners, and one of them is a client now and has expressed interest in growing their team with us even further.
  • We're moving to a new office! It'll have more than twice the office space we have now. We've leased two whole floors at a building at Legaspi Village, Makati.
  • O&B is now over 50 people.
  • We must've bought 30-50 new books since my last post about books, I've lost track of how many. I think that this is the first time that software development books were a minority, most of the books were on business and management, as well as some books on the various business domains of our projects.
  • We've been conducting a lot of internal training. We've appointed some new practice heads in the areas of Usability, Web Design & Graphics, and UI Development (our original practice groups are in Software Development, Project Management & Business Analysis, and the Java Boot Camp). All the practice heads have been very active in conducting training courses in their respective areas. I've also been conducting book discussion in the areas of leadership and management.
