Workshop day

My fantastic team (Donna, Kris and Andy) and I have spent the last three weeks gathering data (including 10 different interviews with approx 50 (!) different stakeholders), analyzing and validating these.

The key issues and hypotheses emerged from that and through constant validating with our client we have now a set of various findings and recommendations for them.
We discovered that the client's issues can be summarized into four inter-related categories; Organizational Strategy and Road map, Promotion and Funding,  HR and skills and Organizational Management.  

Today we did a workshop together with our client at our hotel (we need to drag them away from their usual environment, so that we could all concentrate on the workshop). We have created several work products for them to take away and make use of in the future - some of the recommendations can be implemented as soon as possible  - some of them will have to wait until more funding has been obtained.
Our client are fantastic people, we are learning a lot just by spending time with them. We are extremely happy to see that they are really enthusiastic about our recommendations so far - this gives us a lot of energy to proceed into the final week with the final report to be delivered on Thursday morning.
