3. BEST TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT

4. BEST BUSINESS BOOK OR IDEA
I have just finished reading Wilful Blindness by Margaret Heffernan. It’s clever stuff, and explains why we often ignore things when we know they’re wrong – particularly the directors of Enron.
Next up: How To Manage by Jo Owen, author of How To Lead

5. BEST MUSIC MOMENT
Have just booked to see Justin Currie at the Union Chapel in May. He’s the former singer of Del Amitri, and master of the bitter suite acoustic song.

6. BEST OVERSEAS TRAVEL IDEA OR WORLD ISSUE
I’ve been looking at Canada for the summer. A ‘3M’ trip to Africa looks interesting too: Malawi, Mozambique and Madagascar. Check them out.
