Folks,
these weeks have been packed with exciting stuff.
On the first weekend of August I visited Tine in London (she did an internship with WFW). It was awesome! We loaded the two days with all the sightseeing you can imagine, and then some – but all in a relaxed fashion, so it stayed fun. If I could convert them RAW pics on my work machine I would have uploaded them all ages ago… but there were some JPGs, so I can give you a short preview already…. ahhh, no. Uploader doesn’t work probably here. I’ll check that later in the hotel and update the post if possible.
On the work side of life, my project in Zurich is in its final week, and we close it with a big bang – a two day workshop with almost 100 people involved in Lucerne. We spent over a month in preparation, so I am really looking forward to it. With lots of fun comes a lot of work, too – so I’ll spend the Saturday on location to help finish up the documentation and will get back to Hamburg on Sunday, just in time to pack new clothes and get ready for the next week. What’s next? Well, nothing certain yet, but interesting projects on the horizon.
Gotta run, catch you later!
well, not really. Still, I am a little proud to say that yours truly and his suitcase can be found in the current edition of ZEIT Campus, on page 52 and 53. If you always wanted to find out what a consultant takes on a regular week – or if you just want to see me in a suit – this is your chance!
Apart from that, I am well under with work in the last weeks, and it seems to be getting more, not less. I am currently located in Zurich during the week, so if any one of you happens to be there or in the area, give me a shout!
This week is really consultant-life at its best. I was in Hamburg on Monday, Berlin on Tuesday, today I am in Aachen and Cologne, and tonight I’ll be back in Hamburg. This means two flights, many short and longer train trips, sprinkle a few taxi’s and two hotels inbetween, and voilá – there we are.
Of course, there is still work that needs to be done in between, let’s not forget about that 
Tomorrow is public holiday, and on Friday I take a day off, so I am looking forward towards four wonderful days of doing whatever crosses my mind (and Tine’s, of course!). But the day is not over yet… gonna go get more coffee.
Cheers!
Googling for “young consultants blog” – because I wanted to see if there are people starting up in the profession like me who are blogging – the first entry that pops up: www.capgemini.com. How cool is that?! And, besides, the CTO blog led by Andy Mulholland, our global CTO, is quite a good read. He goes into technology, naturally, not management consulting skills, but his view points are very interesting, and for a corporate blog it is really well done.
