When do you sleep?

July 18, 2006 By Al Martine

Random thoughts on this one week anniversary in India. I just posted a link to the Dilbert Blog: Petting the Cat. My eyes are still a little teary. Damn that was funny. This morning was my first international teleconference between Bangalore, New York and LA. The topic isn’t important; the interesting part is the time […]

When it's global, it's personal

July 17, 2006 By Al Martine

One the fascinating things about attending a school as internationally diverse as the London Business School is the wide range of relationships one makes with others living around the world. Just due to my study group, I have friendships with people in the UK, Belgium, Argentina, New Zealand, India and Israel. The wonderful side of […]

Day 3: Quick Trips

July 14, 2006 By Al Martine

I am coming to the conclusion pretty quickly that large well-run companies are all generally similar; especially if one has a little international work experience outside of the US. Day three on the job brings a planning meeting with my project mentor (no bosses here) and the start of trying to gather information for my […]

All is Well

July 12, 2006 By Al Martine

For the second time in two years, I’m using my blog to let everyone know things are fine. The tragedy in Mumbai is farther north and the Infosys compound is heavily guarded. Our prayers are with those up north … al GlobalWarming Awareness2007 Isulong Seoph

Less Than 24 Hours

July 7, 2006 By Al Martine

Less than 24 hours before the 2006 London Business School Summer Ball and after three/five months of planning I’m almost comfortable with it. The table layout/seating has been really tough. Last year’s chairs warned me about it but would I listen? Oh no. To be honest, they didn’t tell me anything to do – just […]

Long Day: Lots accomplished

July 5, 2006 By Al Martine

After a terribly long day, I finally get to go to bed. A decent fundraising strategy has been drafted, version 1.0 on the seating guide for the summer ball is now done and I have secured loans for 2006-2007. We now have over 800 attending the summer ball with another 200+ expected at the door. […]

Later Gator

July 2, 2006 By Al Martine

I have a habit of using the phrase ‘Later Gator’ or the politically correct ‘Later Gatorette’ in emails/IM. Over the last couple months, I’ve been asked by a couple friends whose first language isn’t English to explain. After a little searching on Google, I’ve found a suitable answer. It apparently comes from the Swing/Jazz era […]

No one is watching

Shadowing

June 27, 2006 By Al Martine

The concept of the shadowing project is pretty simple. Find a leader in an industry/field that is interesting and spend at least three days with them observing their behaviors. Use those observations to write an academic report on them – give one to the person you shadowed, give another draft to the school for a […]
