The hotel we are staying at has no restaurant and so after catching up on our sleep we went in search of a proper American breakfast - the picture shows the kids portion at Denny's (just kidding, it's an adult portion, but it filled both Yean Lin and me up for the whole day!).
Later I met up with Dan, my colleague on this project who has been running the show on his own for the last month while waiting for the rest of the team to come onboard. Apart from helping me get all the essential supplies for our first few days, Dan also briefed me on the project and the people involved. It sounds like I'm getting in to this project at a good point in time as no decisions have been made yet and the visioning workshop only takes place next month. This is something different for me as all my previous projects at Accenture have involved implementing an existing strategy rather than starting from scratch.
Today we started off at 7am (this is the problem when you are in a timezone behind everyone else - the day starts early and ends late, it's now 10pm here and I am in the middle of the Malaysian working day!) and I've already met some of the client team leads. A pretty international bunch - 2 from the UK, one from Australia and one from South Africa. So far, nobody who's actually from California except for Dan!
OK, American Idol results are up now - gotta run...
