Great first day with IBMs Institue for Electronic Government
My first day at IBMs Institue for Electronic Government (IEG) has been great. The kick-off meeting with Jeff Rhoda, the director for global e-government, was very interesting and I think than we got our expectations for the following months aligned very well. In general, people at the institute have been very kind to me and I am sure that we will have a great time together!
Later this week I am meeting with some of the IBM enterprise/IT architecture people that I will be working with in Bethesda. At the IEG I will mainly be sitting in on briefings, so I am looking forward to talking with the EA people about the projects that I will be working on. The objective for my stationing is to gain practical insight into IBMs approach to EA and IT-governance, testing my theoretical foundation in practice, and to collect international data about US experiences with EA and IT-governance.

Sounds very interesting. Hopefully you'll be able to share some of your notes from all the interesting conversations with the gurus that you meet. We thesis students need updates from the real world! ;-)
