Every so often a new word comes along that takes every conference room by storm. Proactive is a recent example. There’s hardly an office canteen not packed with earnest-looking people imploring each other – and everybody within earshot – to be proactive. It doesn’t seem to matter what you say (or write) as long as it contains the magic word.

Time for a break

But only when it comes to our newsletters. Summer and vacation time is here. Update is therefore taking a break and will reappear in September. But as some projects will be in progress all summer, one or two news items or inspiring articles can still turn up on the web.

Have a great summer!
