Special announcement from Executive Playground

This is a very special announcement from Executive Playground. Yesterday our Proof of Concept funding application was approved, clearing the way for us to develop TeamVention and turn it into a unique web-based application for Business Transformation & Innovation. This is so exciting for us. It's a paradigm shift for our business in one sense, but creativity and innovation in business in an area we absolutely excel in. This concludes a very long chapter which has lasted over a year, and yes on a few occasions I nearly gave up. This result couldn't come at a better time, just before a sparkly brand new 2010 which I am now so looking forward to. Merry Christmas everybody and a very Happy and Successful New Year to you all.
