Oh if only. A, B and C blocks are adjacent, but from A Block to T block you pass B, S and V (S and V are secure so can't just pop in and use their loos, and B block has no loo on the ground floor).

If you keep going from us it goes M, Q, K and L.

There's good reasons for some of these - M used to be the old Mechanics block, K is Kingston House, L is the college - but not all..

What happens when you get to Z block? Are you not allowed to build any more?

No problem there. This wire is named after a different C block to the one on my post at toto - there are two each of A, B and C (one at HQ, one at Boreham). There is, AFAIK, no E block anywhere.

Just stuck a picture of A Block on Facebook.

Disappointingly, H Block is quite a handsome building - it's the old gatehouse.

I've removed the paragraphs were people are just blowing smoke up their own areses.

Dear Colleagues,

“Global Business Services’ vision is to modernise, mobilise, innovate, integrate and manage the world’s applications ecosystem and drive business value for customers.

We will develop and deliver market-beating, differentiated offers to the market, aligned to our customers’ verticals."
.

Our Team

A team of Industry Engagement Managers (IEMs), aligned to industries, will support and collaborate with the Offering Sales, led by xxx xxxxx, and the Coverage community in their growth initiatives, whilst also responsible for delivering the services to the Clients. The IEMs will be the escalation points for any delivery related issues, as well as enabling growth. They are accountable for the P&L of the applications business within the industries and strategic accounts. Their objectives also include enabling applications revenue growth, improving profitability, enabling the Offering Sales team and Coverage team to acquire new application logos, and enabling the cross sell and upsell of applications offerings to clients.

The Application Engagement Managers (AEMs) are responsible for the delivery of all application services delivered to the Accounts. The AEMs will be the single point of contact for the delivery of all project and baseline services. They will be the applications delivery face-off to the Client enabling a level of contact in addition to that already provided by the IEMs. The AEMs are accountable for improving customer engagement and satisfaction, profitability, forecast dependability and service delivery. xxxx xxxxxx is our Account Engagement Manager (AEM) Lead for Delivery Operations, reporting directly to myself. xxxx will also be temporarily assigned the role of AEM for the Banking and Insurance verticals, until we have dedicated AEMs for these areas.

We recognise we will need coverage from an applications perspective for more accounts and further AEMs will be announced in the near future, to ensure we engage proactively with the customers in the region.

From a line management perspective the AEMs will report to xxxxxx with a dotted line to the IEMs for the accounts they are responsible for and will work with them on an operational level.

All our employees who were previously in the Global xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx will be assigned to one of the global Centres of Excellence (CoE). Further details will be communicated shortly.

If you've managed to read this far , Is it just me or are IEM's and AEM's the same thing ???

No, one is responsible for the industry sector, the other for the integrity of the solution - which doesn't in any way detract from the bollockosity of the rest of it.
