Ed Parsons posted a link to this short video from the launch of Ordnance Survey's new business strategy. Before you tell me - I know I don't film well, still have a laugh.
Someone remind me to do an end of term report as we come up to the anniversary of the launch of the strategy.

Stephen,
I was unaware you were a member of the Ordnance Survey's propaganda department?
I note they also tag you as an "independent consultant". Not really true, when you consult for the Ordnance Survey is it?
Hey you looked good, just don't drink the Kool-Aid next time!
I posted this on Ed Parsons Blog in response to a slightly different comment from Christopher:

Strongish stuff
I think propaganda dept is a bit of an unfair description for the publicity team at OS. Would you use propaganda to describe publicity from any organisation? or is it only the ones you don't like?
In the world in which I have worked for quite a while "independent consultant" is a euphemism for self employed. I have been open about the work I am doing for OS, as have they. I think you are trying too hard to find some grand misdirection here.
You will have to judge whether what I say on behalf of and about OS is independent. i do not think it is impossible to work for an organisation (in my case a few days per month) and hold different views to the organisation. if the gap gets too great they and I each have the option to end the relationship.
I believe that there is significant change going on at the OS at the moment and I sense that many within the organisation relish the opportunity. I hope that I can contribute to that change for the benefit of OS and the wider community. I speak openly about the OS and do not try to avoid or disguise their failings, however sometimes quiet and constructive criticism is more effective in bringing about change.
It's time to move on in the discussion about business models etc and see what we can achieve with the model that government has settled on. Judge OS (and me if you wish) on the outcomes over the next year.
