A co-worker just finished watching a webcast and then came to talk to me about the feasibility of doing something like that for our clients. We talked about how that’s a good idea, we could easily do it and why doesn’t our client do more of that in the first place.
I told the co-worker about my presentation to a training subcommittee two weeks ago and how one of the options was to do something just like what she had just observed. I also mentioned how the client’s lead on such things was in the room and how he was engaged in the discussion. I also said she may want to mention it to him since he and I had talked yesterday about increasing communication with the people in the field.
My co-worker winds up the conversation with me with the statement that I should think about it. Think about what? Think about how well my presentation went over? How it generated a lot of discussion and got some people really interested in different ways to provide training? Or, should I think about how she comes three years late to the party and then thinks that she’s just thought of something novel?
What I’m really thinking about is how it’s 2:30 and I go home in an hour and a half.
