A new challenge

Pic with my clients, originally uploaded by Jessmoon.

I got a new challenge in my work once my client confirmed to invite HKPC to implement the BPR (business process reengineering), my project is going to take longer time to finish it .... which means, I have to take longer time to get my commission ! damn it. That's why I urged my boss to get me a new project so that I can earn more in this year :P

I am so excited to work with the experienced consultants in HKPC. They did work a BPR project for HK policeman, a large-scale chain fast food store, Wallmart store etc... This time, we will work together and form as a project team to help my client to improve their operation process. That's mean, they will share their experience and teach me how to work on this kind of project. It is totally a new subject to me but I m lucky to get these guys to teach me in the 1st time. I am really excited now~ The whole reengineering process will be involved the change in the company culture, operation process, system automatization, roles and responsibility of different depts.... It may involve many political issues but it is challenging in my eyes.

I did learn alot in this project and it explore my knowledge on managing a large-scale project. Not only the project management skill, but the technique on how to analysis the client's needs and working the 'TO-BE' model for them before sourcing a right vendor. The vendor management technique is another skillset I have to train up. Even I have been working as the project management job for around 8 years, I do think that I am still young in project management field, no wonder all HKPC senior consultants look so 'mature' (sure, in terms of outlook .. they all look like my uncle) as you need to work different projects to earn those experiences, no short-cut way to become a good project manager unless you experience more.

Still feel very excited after the 1st kick-off meeting with them today ! Great to work with male team members, be frank ........ tell fr my experiences, i really find it difficult to work with female team members as most of them love to focus on some minor issues instead of prioritize the key issues and then finish it first. Simply speaking, they waste my time on bargaining the so-called their important issues .. but we got no points to argue as it doesn't affect the project schedule or even .. the scale ...... anyway. Maybe my perference to work with male as they are straight forward (sure .... not all man creature looks like this !)

I do wish that I can work a great project this time even I know it is not a simple job ... the timeline to finish it is 18 months ....
