Day 3 on my new project completed. The overall message is positive. Day one was meeting some key clients. Day two was an all day planning day (I was extremely happy to have arrived before they did this exercise because I have to deliver it), and day 3 was, "right let's get the team mobilised". It's going to be a big team - between 10 and 12 Accenture guys and up to around 20 client people. It is the biggest thing that I have ever led, but there are a number of things that are making me feel excited and confident. The first is the fact that it looks like I can get my dream team in - I've secured the first one today and hopefully there are more to come - I never thought that being like Mark Hughes could be so much fun. The second reason is that the client recognises how little they know, and they are very open about their need to be guided in this initiative. I think the omens are good.
Now I need to try and maintain momentum (because deadlines are tight of course) whilst working on the Swedish RFP for the next 7 days. It wouldn't be Accenture if life was simple.....
