I’ve been in India for a few event-filled days. First was the 1/2 hour traffic jam at 1 AM in Mumbai’s airport — took that long to get from the 3rd floor to the road. Productive set of meetings with a client in Mumbai. Tuesday was a 4 hour early morning drive to Pune, and a full day with a second client. Wednesday was a way-too-early-for-humans flight to Hyderabad, for another day of meetings with a client.
Thursday, I’ll be delivering a keynote address to an influential group of India-based service executives that I mentor – the NASSCOM GEPS team. The keynote? The white-hot ‘Measures, Metrics & Madness’. Knowing the audience, I’m looking forward to the Q&A…
The keynote is based on the workshop coming up on March 18th in Boston.

Heading to London to do a keynote on ‘Impact of Culture on Support (and translation)’.
Interestingly enough the translation industry has headed to a race to the bottom in terms of pricing wars. I’ll sneak in some observations on moving to a trusted adviser rather than an expert for hire.
This talk is based on some of the research I did for IBM, and is available (for free) here.
