Quite the adventure in Morocco. I’m finding that I’m spending 1/2 of the day working, 1/2 of the day exploring, and the other 1/2 sleeping/relaxing.
Our work assignment is proceeding well. We met with our sponsor, Amina Benamar, on
Tuesday afternoon. We presented the
progress on our deliverables. Obviously
we’re further ahead on understanding the challenges with the current state of
the Jamiati.ma portal. The team has
also conducted some investigation into competitors – we’re in the process of
distilling that information and putting the findings into a deliverable
format. The recommendations and
proposed action plan are less mature than the other findings. Nothing unusual given that we’re only into
our 9th day of work.
We hit the mark on the first two deliverables. There’s some work remaining on the last two
deliverables.
While the content is
good, we need to work on the implementation plan including both tactical and strategic recommendations.
Exploring the city and what it has to offer has been
super. At the end of the work day
yesterday, we were given a tour of a Transaharan art and artifact exhibit sponsored by the bank.
The coolest part of the exhibit was the work that students
did. Teachers were brought in to teach the students how to draw. The quality for much of the work is amazing (I wish I were that talented).
Following this, we went on a walk down to the coast to see the
Hassan II Mosque. It was amazing. I had missed the tour with the rest of the
team because of my travel woes in getting to Casablanca.
Today, we’re focused on cleaning up our first two
deliverables and fleshing out the details for the remaining two deliverables.
