...last day of june 2005...
...i came to office dress in t-shirt and pants, not knowing that i will be going to putrajaya for a meeting. dem. so, after lunch, my manager and i went down to putrajaya to meet with our clients in the ministry of human resources - jabatan tenaga manusia. on the way there, we talked alot of stuff, about that idiot, about the little conversation i had with the idiot, etc. apparently, the idiot works well under a condition where everything is spoonfed to him, documents prepared nicely and structured accordingly. he cant respond to verbal instructions. my gawd, what have we hired here. walioa. i tried to put some senses into him, but he seems to be more of protecting himself rather than able to work together. i think he is hopeless case liao.
when we arived at mohr, i notice how stupid their carpark was designed. all the cars are like parked by the roadside, two way become one way and cars are parked on both side of the roads. really the most ridiculous thing i have ever seen. and, its a two way road, which was reduced to a one way, and it leads to a dead end, meaning if i were to go on in the road, and if there is a car coming from the other end(u-turn at th dead end) and with cars on both side of the road, depending on who is nearer to a open space, that car has to reverse all the way back. really my gawd kind of design.
but anyway, was in jtm for a short discussion. nice office. nice place. and i am stuck in shah alam in a room full of mosquito and the aircond that is hot. dohh. discussion took almost 2 hours, with another colleague coming in to collect our payment, but have yet to process yet. dunno whose fault. but, alot of money there leh.
and reached office, in shah alam of course, at about 6pm. phew. whole afternoon in putrajaya.
so, when i reached office, after checking mails and stuff, i called a few of the colleagues to talk about stuff.
1. what is their opinion about tms now?
2. what is the top item on their mind that they consider as the worst thing in tms?
3. what/how can improve - whats the one thing we can try to improve?
some of the answers i got was, project plan. good leadership. lacks of motivation.
which makes me wonder, what is the real essence of successful project management? good leader? good project plan?
all of us are living in a big pathetic room in ciast, full of mosquitos, dirty floors, hot aircond and chairs that hurt our backs so much, too much mamee to eat...so in this not so good condition, how is it that we can rate successful project management and a good project manager? what can we do to make this situation better?
i told the few of them to go back and think. if we leave this tms project, what legacy or good things that we wanna leave behind? do we want to be known as the failed project? do we want to be treated as 2nd class people. if everyone of us now feels that the project is goin down the drain, so what can we do to make some improvements? if we cant improve 100% or 200%, we can try with 10%. and at least we tried.
i hope i put some senses into them and i really hope this project will see us thru to some greater heights. at least, we did something good here. here is a picture of the project team.
