Welcome! I’m the analyst chair for PCC4, which is our code for Portals, Content and Collaboration (the fourth time in the U.S.). I’ll forget myself and use that alphanumeric acronymic code from time to time. Smile and nod, and I’ll get back to English shortly, I swear.

We’re planning fiercely, assigning slots to presentations and assigning speakers to presentations and working out the blurbs and the key issues (those are the questions we try to answer in a presentation) and talking it all through. We use all sorts of collaborative tools to do this, and I wish I could tell you any or all or even some are best practice. They’re not. But we have a blog, and here it is!

Do you remember the first time you talked on a cell phone? “I’m on a cell phone!” you said. “I’m in my car! Hello?”

Same with email, right? “I am writing you an email! This is me, on my computer! Hello?”

This is my – what? My fourth or fifth blog, counting personal ones. Still, I feel the same sometime. This is me blogging! Hello?
