קאַטעגאָריע אַרטשיוועס: Slalom

I convened a team meeting here for the New York SharePoint team and at the last minute, for no particular reason, added a new agenda item:

Personal info exchange: I’m going to pull up google earth and each of us will tell the team where we were born and where we live today. I’ll map it real time. We’ll also do a quick rundown of our respective families. Feel free to create a fantasy family here but keep in mind that once you start lying about the family, you have to create successively elaborate lies and you will likely trip up at some point, so be prepared for that.

I thought this would take 20 minutes or so to do with nine people.  אַנשטאָט, it took 90 מינוט שמייכל, mainly because people spent significant amounts of time at different places around the globe.  It was a fascinating exercise and we surely learned a lot about each other.  I learned, לעסאָף, what people mean by “north” and “south” India.

If you can find the time in this busy and hectic days to do something like it, I heartily recommend it.

I joined Slalom consulting six months ago to the day and it’s been an incredible ride.  I plan to blog some more about that now that I am beginning to feel fairly solid.  Working here is like living in a fairy tale most of the time.  Smart people, interesting clients, solid support from management both local and corporate … the occasional libation … good stuff.

Our Boston office has just opened up and they are looking for a leader to launch their SharePoint practice.  It’s a very complex, full job with a lot of fun challenges.  You define offerings of interest to the local market, you roll up your sleeves and do real work and you hire folks to build up the best team you can manage.  I can’t recommend it strongly enough.

If you’re interested in this position or if you know anyone that might be interested, please fire off an email to me: פּאַול.גאַלווין @ slalom.com.

I am glad to share my candid experiences (both good and bad) here in New York.
