A major step forward



Today we are informed that the final presentation will be moved to an earlier date. Instead of Friday next week it is now Thursday. Doesn’t sound like it made a huge difference to you? Bet it does! Our team is working on two subprojects in parallel. We need all the time we get. In the beginning we focused on Project A (skills assessment) - while that survey was running we dedicated more time to Project B (governance model for a new unit). This means, while we basically are at the end of the data gathering stage, we still need to analyze all results and research, and come up with our recommendations. Not to mention that we must prepare the deck for the internal presentation to the client and the great showdown on Thursday.

I do not complain, though. I get deep insights into areas I never thought about before. And the highlight of today is a meeting with the client. Once the meeting actually begins (this usually takes some time…) it turns out to be an amazing and fascinating experience. It is productive and informative, a show case on meeting culture and negotiation skills. I feel like watching the council of some chiefs. Totally energized we continue afterwards. We really do take away a lot from that session!


More to come,

Cynthia
