Duncan's annual report
Duncan Chapple
Analyst Relations lead for Elisa Industriq & Elisa Polystar @ SageCircle | Analyst Observatory co-director @ Edinburgh University
It's my birthday tomorrow, so here's an update on the last year. I'll be offline, as far as possible, in the peaceful lakeside town where my family lived for the decade when I was born.
Four highlights
The key events were:
What else happened over the last 12 months?
Lifelong learning
After submitting my MRes thesis, I followed a year-long INSEAD Executive Education programme, and became an alumnus in March. INSEAD is one of the world's top business schools, operating in alliance with The Wharton School and Sorbonne Université. The Lead the Future program focusses on innovation and Blue Ocean Strategy.
This month, I'm wrapping up a Hult International Business School graduate school elective in sales strategy. Next month, I'll be taking another language class at Aalto University.
Analyst relations
The?Analyst Relations Forum?met recently at?The University of Edinburgh?Analyst Observatory, hosted by?Neil Pollock?,?Matin Cheng,?and myself. We heard the 2024 analyst relations awards go to IBM's AR team, and to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Intel Corporation, Dell Technologies, Salesforce, Cisco, and Google.
AWS headed up the 2023 awards, nine months earlier, which also recognised Ericsson, IBM, and Microsoft.
Some major trends are developing in the analyst relations community.
Analyst influence
It's a weird year for AR people and analyst firms, and visual artifacts played an almost totemic role.
The job hunt
I am delighted to work on my current contract with SageCircle and Elisa, but I remain open to permanent roles. I can work across the European Economic Area, as a dual EU and UK citizen. Let me know if you have any leads or suggestions.
