Delivery partners

Nobody trained up to deliver yet however:

• 2 other consultancies interested: 1 in Norway, 1 global
• At least 20 independent partners available for delivery

Lots of developments behind the scenes, as per last two blogs – but I think this is all going ok, don’t you?  I am off to London next week to push things forward on all of these fronts.  Wish me luck!
