Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll and...

Raymond Moore

When you read about what I got up to you’re going to say I got what I deserved. You’re right—I totally agree. Many of you won't like me no doubt and that’s ok—I understand, I really do. I’m not all bad though.I left the Isle of Skye in the early eighties to begin my nursing course in Edinburgh and it's fair to say I embraced the Capitals temptations with arms wide open. When I moved into a shared flat I met Bill, a musician, and got involved with his band Low Down, you know, helping them out, doing a bit of driving and humping gear about - it was great fun. Low Down were truly phenomenal. Man, I totally loved their music. We took drugs, I mean, I took drugs. Nothing heavy, just recreational-like.I met a lot of girls who I didn’t treat right and I’m not proud of my behaviour—honest. Nursing is a female-dominated profession and male nurses were thin on the ground. The opportunities for getting up to mischief were many. I worked hard and played harder.A lot of stuff I regret now. Especially what I did to Lisa – and others. Anyway, it couldn’t last, could it? The way I was living – something had to give.And it did.

Business Transformation - A...

Jim Davis, Aiman Zeid

All companies use information to set strategies and accomplish  business objectives. But how many CEOs and CIOs would say they are  satisfied that their companies get maximum value from information?  Not many. How many have a systematic plan for evolving their  information capabilities to the next level? Fewer still.  SAS has developed an Information Evolution Model (IEM) to aid  companies in assessing how they use information to drive business.  The model outlines how information is managed and utilized as a  corporate asset and enables organizations to objectively evaluate  their use of information and accurately lay out a roadmap for  improvements that optimize business returns. This book shows how  the IEM can be used together with analytics.  The book  provides the necessary information that managers need to introduce  and promote the use of analytics and insight across the  organization and how to identify the starting point and develop a  roadmap. Examples of global companies that have successfully been  through this process are provided as well as best practices.
