So much to do and so little time ….

We have a great team assembled here in Istanbul.  I am constantly in awe of all of these amazing IBMers.  We have quickly become friends but even more quickly each person seems to have earned the respect of the others.  Any time you get a chance to bounce an idea off of any one of them you gain perspective and perhaps a slightly different viewpoint or idea.  So we do talk shop a fair bit of the time.

Sadly we have had to send one of our teammates home for surgery!  Deidre, we will miss you.  Good luck and I hope that broken arm heals quickly once the surgery is done.

Time here in Istanbul is going by so quickly.  The TURKONFED project related to an SME Support Centre makes sense.  With all of our research and discussions our vision is becoming clearer and clearer.  Now the challenge is what can be done, in what timeframe and at what cost.  And of course, how much can we get done before we go???  #ibmcsc turkey
