This was an exciting day for me. Alastian had a Webinar for the first time. The Report that the Economist Intelligence Unit wrote on the challenges for our industry to keep competitive was in my view a good start for a fruitful discussion. It is interesting to see that many people from various backgrounds enlisted for the Webinar and actively participated. Questions came in from all directions and good feedback was received afterwards, so I hope this is the first of many interactions with Industry experts, Customers, and other interested parties.

It is of course unsatisfactory that the technical part did not work the way we planned, so the slides were not visible and the questions had to be submitted via email rather then on-line as we planned, but I tend to see things positively and see hick-ups like this as opportunities to improve on next time. I am pleased to see that there is such an interest in a debate around the future of our Industry and that so many parties make an effort to contribute to this discussion. I hope that the discussion will continue, either via this Blog, or with more Webinars in the future!
