    Does your company have an internal social networking site? Is it well utilized, engaging & promote internal dialogue? Or did the novelty wear off, or only a select audience use it? Our global company just implemented one, and I'm interested to see how well (and how long) it's received. What's your experience?

    I will be some extensive process re-engineering for my department in the near future, and my boss has recommended I start Six Sigma certification (Green Belt). Can anyone recommend a training company (not online, but a course to attend)? I'm excited about gaining these skills, and I would also consider a BPA course. Does anyone else do business process analysis & implementation? All training advice is welcome!

    HELP - too many meetings! My new job in Big Corporate is wonderful: I have great projects & a smart, sympathetic boss. But ours is a corporate culture of meetings - average 50% of my day. But a whole day being hijacked by meetings happens often. So - HOW DO I GET MY WORK DONE? My deliverables are getting delayed by meetings to talk about deliverables. How do I adjust? Can I, as a newbie, initiate any change? I feel like @meetingboy on twitter!

About Me

I'm a total hybrid: analytical geek and creative communicator.

Nothing makes me happier than having a project - or five - in the works. I am an HRIS Analyst for a global company. Aside from data crunching, I'm also involved in HR process redesign & documentation. MANY THANKS Brazen Careerist and Penelope's blog for support during the job hunting & interviewing phase.

I love photography, globe-trotting, and volunteering by teaching computer classes at women's centers.
