We have been here for 21 days?! Crazy!!

The last two days have been very focused on work. We have three main pieces to our project that we must complete before leaving next week!

The first is, management training. We held Session #2 this evening on Effective Communication – topics included Active Listening, Giving Employee Feedback, etc etc. We have one last session next Tuesday.

Assignments 2 and 3 are related to technology. The first on a low-cost ERP system (for those not familiar with this term, we are looking for a full IT solution to manage their business processes from the warehouse, to materials tracking, to the customer). The second is a handheld solution to help mitigate some mistakes that are regularly occurring in the factory. I am in touch with some partners / APs from our GBS Industrial sector to discuss some ideas and recommendations for accomplishing this. The research process is going slow because of the time it takes to get my questions answered. I think I will also need to set up some calls / demos to truly understand the technologies before providing our recommendation to the client.

Dinner tonight was at a high-end Vietnamese restaurant called Chic, you can see my vegetarian feast below.

Also, we had the opportunity to take some pictures from the rooftop of our training room’s building, and got some beautiful snapshots of Hue.

That’s all for now! T-1 Week left in Hue!!
