"Woke
up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head....."
A
little Beatles tribute to start Day 2 of our CSC Business experience...
Day
2 started with Teams 1 & 3 piling in the mini-bus and driving for 40
minutes to our downtown offices...the driving experience is much like a video
game...best option is to not actually watch and try to just chat....like I did
with Jalpa, learning more about Indian food and the fact that Starbucks in
India serve only Indian coffee beans!
Our second day with
our client, the Dept of e-Gov was slower than our first. Our primary sponsor was tied up in a workshop
with Microsoft as they begin to determine their new 'common platform'. Raghava & Angelica and I worked in an
office further refining the inputs required for our engagement and determining
what further interviews we needed to pursue.
Our current hurdles include: we are still waiting on building access so
we can come and go....we don't have internet access yet and a challenging
discovery today was that the power plugs here are different from the round two
prongs so we are on limited battery life!
Found a great little
Indian restaurant for lunch!
Our sponsor, Nash,
spent a couple very productive hours with us in the afternoon and managed to
get us invited to the monthly Council of CIOs meeting on Thursday where we will
run an hour workshop focused on our assignment.
We headed back to
the hotel with 3 of the 4 teams for our Security briefing with Yolainda where
she explained why we are in constant danger for our lives.
The quote of the evening goes to Borek…..”Since there
are three ladies on my team (Akiko, Siobhan & Lisa) I do not have to
speak very often.”
Looking forward to Day 3…..
Ten of us headed out for dinner to
WengThai restaurant at the Mall up the street (and left our other four
teammates at the hotel as they were preparing a deliverable for Wed
morning.)
Looking forward to Day 3…..
