...frighteningly, it's 12 December already. This must mean that we're nearing that odd hinterland here at TrainingZone where the last bulletin of the year is going out soon, and the rest of the year is devoted to a schizophrenic mix of reflection and planning. What did we do well this year? What were the most popular articles? What can we do better? What can we do that we've not done before? Let's take a few chances. Infographics? they're cool, let's do more of those. But useful ones.

So, once the last bulletin goes out on Friday 16 Dec, it's a quick winter spruce-up, a cheeky mince pie, and then a solid week of tweaking the 2012 release schedule, with only minimal time to look back. We have a few new topics to cover next year, one of them being 'apprenticeships', another being 'events'. I feel both of these topics need their own dedicated place on the TrainingZone calendar, because they both will without doubt become more important as the years roll on. More on this later.

Short and sweet this post, but I've got a yearbook to organise. Watch your inboxes this Wednesday for a bonus bulletin that reflects on the year gone by.

Until next time...
