Milwaukee, the project (2)


Julie and I did a good job in defining the project training need, and we developed a pretty neat training and coaching programme. We wrote it down on that Brown Paper on the photo.
The project was in the healthcare sector and the client managed old people's homes and day care centres. We were tasked to "sort out" their headquarter's administrative operations. We worked in Accounts Receivables, Accounts Payables, HR, Finance, etc.
The project team was absolutely incompetent. The 2 project managers tried to prove who is the best of them, and the 3 consultants were something else. All were in their 50ies who seemed to have failed in real life and then became brand-new consultants. The worst was that Texan woman from Austin, who was an alcoholic, and how nobody on the project understood. Her breath smelled of alcohol in the morning. The one from Chicago was nice, but no experience whatsoever, the other one from North Carolina was a bully and told clients to "shut up" when talking to him.
