As has probably been evident I have been pretty busy over the past few weeks attending to the birth of an extraodinary new company. OKAY I am partial and the company is not exactly "new" as Thomson Reuters is the offspring of two proud parents with long corporate histories.

I usually try to avoid talking too much shop as most corporate blogs bore me to death and Thomson Reuters operates a perfectly adequate corporate site at www.thomsonreuters.com. However the planning and launch have been so time-consuming and I am genuinely so excited about the people business and prospects of the company that I can’t think of anything else that is even remotely as interesting to write about.

I may have drunk the Kool-Aid but it sure tastes good.
