The New Project

Work is really challenging. I have the opportunity to work with some really smart and passionate people. As most of you know I am working for an Insurance company in Winnipeg and I am a Project Manager. We have a couple of really great initiatives that I get the opportunity to work on.

I can’t mention the project but it is pretty substantial and will be one of the bigger ones that I have worked on. It is also a defining moment for me because the project will have a lot of visibility by the VPs and CEO of our company. The VP of Information Services said to me that he is staking his reputation on this project and that I will be running with it, so by transitive properties, that means my reputation is on the line too.

Of course with great risk there is great reward. I am really gung-ho about this project and I can’t wait to start. Right now we are still selecting product and going through some of the initiation processes.

In a couple months I will either be on top of the world or at the bottom of the barrel…
