I just came back from Athens concluding our traditional roadshows.

These are end-of-year presentations to our staff in every of our locations. I shared this year “where we are” that is how we progressed against our plan for 2009, “where we go to” that is what are plans are for the coming three years, “what we do” that is our management agenda for 2010.

As always it was exciting to meet our people and discuss various topics, but also to see the diversity, breadth and depth of the organisation. I came back energised and confident about our abilities, the pockets of energy, the expertise…

On another note, also today, we submitted the tender documents for ESP DESIS II, a large framework contract for the European Commission. It was a massive effort with many partners and many people involved. Let’s cross fingers. It is a big deal.

Now time to enjoy the Christmas holidays
