In the last three months

In the last three months my team has been pretty busy:

• Launched a Paralympic Torch Relay section of www.london2012.com
• About to launch a bunch of Test event (“Cluster 2”) sites on Monday

Back in 2006 it took us more than 3 months just to work up a brief to redesign our then modest website  – and we didnt have any significant strictures around procurement, none at all around technical integrity (whoops), precious few around contracts and only the lightest touch deal approval process let alone the dozens of internal stakeholders that now want sign off.

We’ve come a long way.
