Well, we are a little more than half way through the project. I continue to marvel at the accomplishments of both PSU and IIM-B. As we had thought prior to the project, this is a complicated and challenging topic and I like the way the students from both Universities are approaching it and working. The papers from both Universities have been well detailed and comprehensive. My IBM colleagues share the same thoughts. Now we must begin to start to think about packaging the hard work as the semester will soon begin to close. I have confidence in both student teams and think they can complete the project in a very positive manner. More importantly, I hope they “learned” a great deal and I hope that we at IBM are helping them understand the techniques of good project management.
The Nittany Lions won again Saturday and are now 8-1. Big game coming up with Ohio State.
As I mentioned in my last note, I really “dig” music. So here here is an appropriate song for all of us be we students or workers trying to earn a living. It is another of my favorites and fits perfectly with what’s coming.. Monday.. it is called “Manic Monday” by the Bangles. “It’s just another Manic Monday, Wish it were Sunday. That’s my fun day, My I don’t have to run day”. Hey isn’t this the truth?

And for the IIMB team, here is a song from a personal favorite movie, “Bend it Like Beckham”.
