Three Weeks In

This summer I am excited to be working for Accenture, in Houston within their consulting group. I will briefly give overviews of each week while I experience a learning curve like I never have before. The following is key tasks, lessons learned during my third week on the job.

What a week it was! It went quickly as my team prepared for an upcoming leadership conference. At this conference big decisions were made in order to narrow the scope of the project. The decisions have huge impacts on costs and resources associated with the project but they also have huge effects on how people do their everyday jobs. Most for the better, and some for the worst, depending on how one views change.

Tasks Accomplished

• Created new way to take meeting notes utilizing one note

• I should really use this on my own computer as a tool - I really like it

• Create picture slideshow for Leadership Forum

• Support any details and/or deliverables for the Leadership Forum

• Design Elements

• Confirm content

• Analyze and compile wrap-up survey results

• Create new slideshow to start compiling safety moments in one place

• Complete Bingo design elements

• Learned how to use menti technology

• Update stakeholder analysis spreadsheet

Lessons Learned

• Usually tension between IT and the business and the costs (you need the physical equipment and a license to do your job - all a perspective thing)

• Provide guidance every time we break out into sessions - adults need guidance too

• Engagement can be inexpensive compared to a raise

• Boosts morale like crazy!

• Evans smiles when I came to take his picture was so big (he received our weekly spotlight award)

• He said "I knew this was coming" but with a big smile on his face
