I had all but written off the event as a "brain-washing" attempt when first received the off-site event invitation. Not that I had a choice, it was after all mandatory attendance for all HP Malaysia finance personnels. Also looking at the agenda, felt that the issues that they wanted to address was a repetition of a similar program held in the office.
So on the day itself, was feeling kinda bored after, oh 15 minutes of the event? Hehe, almost nodded off too! Luckily things started getting interesting when the guests speakers from HP HQ in Palo Alto had their presentation. It was sure a pleasant insight to hear it first hand live communication from senior management about what the company has in store for their newest COE. Somewhat comforting to know that there is hope and lots of room for career development here.
This was the aspect that I like best. The open forum/talk-show feel between senior management and Malaysia finance staff. Don't play-play, we even had a moderator from HP Finance Communications :p
Boss' boss is 3rd from right, Global Process Org boss.
Left : Some team building competition to fill up time :p, structure from my table. Not too creative but sturdy ok!
Right : One of the more creative structure by another table.
Obligatory "family portrait" of the IPG family...
On a side note, food served during morning and afternoon breaks were yummy. Can't really recall what they served except that it was yummylicious finger food. As for lunch, urghhhh, tasteless dim sums which we were rationed exactly one piece per person. Sigh, bleh food, some more wana limit it. Hmmm.
