A new name and a (slightly) new direction. Telco talk will add Business Process Management within the Telco OSS/BSS arena to the potential subjects we'll cover here. The old Industry Business Partner Technical Strategy Enablement (IBPTSE) team's role remains an important part of IBM's Telecom strategy, so I will probably still cover partner capabilities and content here. I know the blog is pretty much about telco, but I reserve the right to comment on other industries as well :-) I plan to talk about resources that are available to IBM Business Partners, some of the latest issues we are seeing in Telecom, some discussion of IBM software technology and some thoughts on IBM's Smarter Planet initiatives.- Business Innovation award

While it's a shame we didn't make the cut for the Solution Excellence award (I am not sure which solution was nominated) I am still proud that we've made the finalist cut for two categories. If you are a TMF member - please go and vote at http://www.tmforum.org/ExcellenceAwards2010/Finalists/8647/Home.html#1 (you choose who you want to vote for, you can probably guess who I voted for!
)I have been working on a post about our newly announced Industry Framework for the Media & Entertainment Industry - you should expect that post to come along soon! (oh and don't forget to vote in the TMF awards!)

Well I say your sentence should be commuted. I think blogging should be motivated by love instead of guilt! Welcome back... Congrats for making the finalist list for the TeleManagement Forum excellence awards.
I'm sure you know what it gets like sometimes - no time to scratch myself let alone write blog posts - it's an ongoing personal struggle that I have with myself; my work-work (or so it seems at the moment) balance.
