Wolverhampton weekly newsletter #3

Some brief highlights from this week include:

• The NDNA mini competition tender document was issued at the start of the week. 
• We are continuing to review the IT operational plan for 17/18 and will be bringing it all together in a team meeting shortly which has been scheduled. 
• Set up date for lessons learned activity for Summer AV installation program and held further weekly review of progress with PMs. 
• Set up a review session ahead of Christmas break for the major incident process which includes lessons learned from previous exercise. 
• During this week dealt with a number of HR related matters. 
• Provided IT sign off to Cyber Security Centre project team meeting after face to face review with academic sponsors, Estates and IT. Further work subsequently taking place on network pricing and clarifying revenue versus capital items. All in good shape for next Project Board. 
• Interesting meeting with Wolverhampton City Council about a bid for new capital funding related to "Smart Cities" and city centre high speed broadband. Will be a very competitive national process - may need letter of support at some point. 
• Attended GDPR foundation course which includes training materials for potential future briefing process. 
• Planning to start on Christmas Jumper Day and a team night out before Christmas - watch this space and hold the date (December 13th provisionally).
