This web log will be the place I document my experiences learning a systematic way of improving business processes, finding efficiencies, cutting costs, and other practices that corporations find particularly erotic. I have been selected to attend 5 weeks of training, one week a month, to learn about all these tools that I should then be able to apply at my company and help them realize profits and customer satisfaction that they have sought so long to attain. Hope you stick around this week, and check in on the following months as I explore this strange world as an anthropologist would. It should be fun, and either you'll feel really jealous you missed out on this opportunity to go yourself, or feel extremely sorry for me that I have to endure such a test of brainwashery. Perhaps as I go through this training I won't be so polarized, and I'll find some happy medium. That's how most adventures into new cultures end. Stay tuned.
