Over the course of the next few weeks I’m planning to publish a bunch of posts that originally went onto my internal CSC blog hosted on ‘C3’ (Jive). My reasons for doing this are:

1. C3 is being shut down as part of the merger of CSC and HPE Enterprise Services (ES) to create DXC.technology, and I see little point in moving them to a SharePoint site.
2. My new colleagues who’ve come from ES haven’t been able to see what I posted on C3.
3. Our CTO Dan Hushon is very keen that we communicate ‘outside in’ rather than relying on internal communications systems.
4. James Governor’s recent ‘Further thoughts on 10x engineers‘ explains quite clearly that communication is an essential part of (tech) leadership. It’s great to see so many people who are friends, colleagues and that I’ve hosted at conferences mentioned in the post, and I obviously need to up my game to join them.

I’m going to try to publish one post per day, hopefully along with psuedonyminised comments. There may be some minor edits to make up for the shift from private to public, and I’ll also s/CSC/DXC Technology/. I’m planning to add a retrospective to each post.
