So this year is the first year our function will be responsible for the business workload forecast. Daunting. Even more so, as I'm set to be responsible for the UK data gathering part of the exercise.
What that involves is co-ordinating all the projects to ensure they all put in the relevant data, before the functions within the UK sit down and review the inputs. The collimation of which will be a day long review, where we lock everyone in a room, and the projects and functions agree or disagree with the numbers of people required to deliver the business for the next 5 years.
Lots of new things to learn, and I'm sure lots of technical and personal challenges to tackle. And they say things get easier as you get older!
