I will treat sorting this out as highest priority and make sure that everything is in place. I agree that it would be good to set them a presentation and do the exercise. I'll sort that all out on Monday and make sure that all the paperwork etc is prepared and sent to Richard as well. KT
I share some of your concerns and I think the main thing is that yesterday's meeting is really only the start, especially for areas like the Soils campaign and the discussion on thresholds. We need to have a proper meeting just about each of those things and make sure that what we are planning over the next 3 years in right, high priority and achievable. In terms of the KT budget, I will follow up the discussion with Anna and Laura to make sure that there is some flexibility and capacity to cover things that we didn't discuss yesterday. One of the things that was clear to me though was that we will almost certainly be using the web more as a way of presenting our messages, in conjunction with press releases and e-shots etc and that will give us a relatively cheap and flexible way to do some things and potentially the capacity to do a lot more than we have in the past. We must continue to do some events though and I know that Anna will be including provision for this in her budget. Finance
This is a worry - I will give Hannah a call on Monday and get her perspective before I raise anything with Clare.... 1:1s
I wanted to have very brief 1:1s with everybody in the team because after the upheaval of the restructuring I am aware that some people are dealing with it better than others and there are quite a few little issue emerging that I want to keep track of. I don't think any of them should be much more than half an hour and I won't go into any detail
