Microsoft Motion Initiative

Check out the following video which introduces Microsoft's new Motion initiative.

This is really cool as Microsoft plan on providing standard Microsoft tools (Office, SQL Server, Visio) to help Enterprise Architects and Strategy consultants create capability maps, business architecture, business case for new strategy & transformation programmes, etc for customers.

Dear all,

I hope this finds you well. If you are in front of the telebox tonight, please tune in to watch a new version of Dragons' Den in which we feature for about 10 mins.

I think this new edition breathes life into a slightly stale format.

Tune in and enjoy.

Best,
Lex
