After a week of more broken-up sessions, mostly digesting the Strategy lectures with torial groups, we’re back on the 5 days – 5 lectures – 5 chapters again. I was barely caught up with the reading!
I’m trying to make slide-by-slide notes, but it’s difficult to assimilate all the information. I don’t think I’m alone though.

Iv’e taken to using my MP3 player to record the lectures so I can perhaps use it when writing up the slides to some kind of prose.

Me and Alison stayed behind a couple of mins after the Strategy lecture this afternoon and had an off-the-record chat with Alistair. I find lecturers are suprisingly forthcoming when you get them after-hours. They offer advice and talk to you more normally. I only have a couple more weeks to go through the chapter of the fat ‘Exploring Strategic Perspectives’ book…then we’re onto ‘The Customer Experience’ module. After the Titan Watches case study that is – that’s gonna be scary!

I’m looking forward to doing the damage on Strategy and moving on to ‘The Customer Experience’ where we’ll deal with the consumer behaviour side of things.
