Day 7 On the Job in Makassar (Tranportation Agency) Indonesia Tm 3

Today both Javier and I gave some presentations to our clients.  I gave an overview on the expectations the IBM CSC program has for our assignment.  There was some confusion with the Clients about our purpose in working with them.  They thought we were there to sell them computers and to help implement IT changes.  We level-set with the client leadership team we are there to assess and analyze problems they identified in the Statement of Work, then provide recommendations on solutions.  Also, where possible give them training.  

Javier gave a class/presentation on how to develop employee skills assessments and how it would contribute to their success.
