Going to be catching to Evocatus Consulting this week for my roundup from D3IP - Digital | Data | Defence - he plays games, or at least his clients do and I will be asking what that means. What that really, really means.

Met up with Chris Conroy Dorset Police Cyber Protect, Dorset Police Cyber Protect officer, with the support of Dorset PCC, on an event we are hoping to organise. I was surprised at the level of cyber crime in the county and the balance between people and business losses. #cyberawarenesss

Just popped up to London to interview the COO of NATO DIANA. Such an interesting chat on and off camera. Got a busy week editing three videos for my ParkLife on Tour blog. We need to reassess our risk appetite if we want to ensure delivery of innovation.

Was fantastic to hear Dr Helen Fry | WWII Historian talk today. Could have sat there for hours listening to the role that women played in the intelligence services of the two world wars. And the knitting story that I will share on my ParkLife blog also.
