Making the most of my time

I’m an Account Manager in the Business Area Defence and Security at Senate Properties. I travel on business a few days every week; today, for example, I flew to Helsinki in the morning. I always fill my diary with meetings for the days I’m travelling to ensure that I can make the most of my time. When I’m not travelling, I’m based in Kuopio.

When I was on the plane, I planned the day ahead and wrote a few notes for my meetings. As soon as I landed at Helsinki airport, my phone beeped to let me know I had new messages. I managed to resolve an issue relating to one project on my way to the train terminal.

Tablet on the train

I like working on the train as the Wi-Fi connection is now really good everywhere. A tablet is the perfect device for searching for information, and on this occasion it gave me plenty of time to prepare for my meeting and send a few emails as well.

Coffee and great ideas

I started the morning by meeting up with the Managing Director of one of our partners, and we went through the project plans for the construction of a work environment concept. I use video conferencing for a lot of meetings, but this time it was important to meet face to face in an inspiring environment.

Around the table

After lunch I went to the Defence Command to draw up a plan for the following week’s negotiations. It was easy to discuss the points of the negotiations sitting at the same table. I think that it is a good idea to hold a workshop sometimes. I always meet partners and clients face to face, sometimes without any electronic devices in the room, when discussing security critical issues.
