Dale’s charity bike ride

Hana — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 15:01:27 +0000

DB Consulting Senior Business Analyst Dale Poulter is taking part in the London to South Coast Off-road Bike Ride 2011 on 24 September, to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

It’s no easy challenge: a seventy-five mile route from central London through the Surrey suburbs and into Sussex, finishing in Brighton. The route mixes cycle path and single track trails, through rolling hills and forests (with a tough final section across the South Downs, just when you think you’re almost there!) This will be the longest charity ride Dale has undertaken, and DB Consulting will be supporting Dale all the way. We wish him the very best of luck.

If you would like to help Dale achieve his target you can donate via his justgiving page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/DalePoulter

Agile and Lean in Finance, 22 September

Hana — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 10:02:16 +0000

‘Agile’ refers to an adaptive, incremental approach to solutions development, with strong emphasis on delivering value. In contrast, ‘Lean’ represents a widely adopted approach to continuous improvement, designed to improve performance by removing barriers which disrupt workflow in existing systems. Both concepts, Agile and Lean, are particularly attractive and suited to finance sector environments where business requirements change frequently and reaction time is critical.

On 22 September, Unicom will be hosting the second annual Agile and Lean in Finance conference. DB Consulting’s Colin Weaver is scheduled to kick off the event with the day’s first session: Ten Golden Rules for Success with Agile.
