Weekly report for the week ending 16th of May

Last week I said I would:

1. Get schedule commitments on the cross product integration plans (done - high level commitments received but will need to transform these into a more detailed schedule).
   
2. Revise the sample chapter for the IBM 2.0 book project. This week I hope to have an updated version ready for review within the team so that we can send to Springer ahead of our commitment at the end of May. (partly done - reviewed all existing content and agreed what changes need to be made - but a substantial amount of work still required to implement these changes)
   
3. Make a final attempt to agree next steps for Ireland/China exchange program - or else get agreement to drop the proposal (sent some emails, but still no clear agreement)
   
4. Update the work information on my CV (done)
   

Next Week I will do the following actions:

1. Get agreement on a more detailed schedule for the cross product integration plans
   
2. Revise the sample chapter for the IBM 2.0 book project. By the middle of the next week I hope to have an updated version ready for review within the team so that we can send to Springer ahead of our commitment at the end of May.
3. Make a final attempt to agree next steps for Ireland/China exchange program - or else get agreement to drop the proposal
4. Start work on the 2010 promotion review process
