This week has been another week where I donned my consulting hat for Project-R2. There was honestly little else, a smattering of 1:1s and admin, but otherwise full-time R2.

  • βš™οΈ - I had a really good conversation with week with the R2 team about CMDB, quality score and it’s relationship with assessment management and vendor management. These are topics I’ve certainly spent quite a bit of time on over the years and areas where I know organisations typically always have improvements to make (our organisation included), so it was good to think about this again. As has been the case a lot recently on R2, I come away with lots of notes, actions, and things to think about more deeply, not just for R2 but for all the other customers I work with also.

  • πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘ - Spread over a few days I managed to meet most of the new R2 cloud team, either F2F or collectively as a virtual team. While this team still hasn’t finished growing yet, it was a good sign of things to come and for me personally light at the end of the tunnel. It’s been years since I’ve built a new team from scratch so it’s exciting to see it all come together.
