EDF Finance Conference

An afternoon at Church House, Westminster, for an ESCS finance update.  Included good explanation  by FD Ronan Lory that co has high fixed costs so changes to other costs important to make or miss targets.

This ties in with some of what I have already been trying - replace email with social media to share better and reduce copies.  The challenge still remains to find the needle in th haystack (what worked rather than what did not).  Tagging could well help here.

Arkadin Web Conferencing

I have started using Arkadin Web conferencing and this looks as if it will be very useful.

Web conferencing allows remote conferencing with multiple users but as well as sharing a telephone conversation, a screen can be shared too.  This is especially useful for business partnering discussions, where I as the accountant am talking operational managers through numbers.  In the past I have sent large spreadsheets, waited ages for my client to open them and had discussion where I might have to keep referring to row numbers and column names.  Now I can share my screen so that the client sees what I see.  They see me point my mouse, I can highlight information and they can see it in real time.

This will also be useful for training where I can show a client what to do, or they can show me what they are doing and I can explain the problem.
