Today was my first day to wear the suits.(I guess other team members were also)
Because we had a kick-off meeting with all teams and all host organizations,
all member had to wear the formal clothes.
I found an interesting thing on the way to the building where we had meeting.
We were asked to wear formal clothes by our host organizer, thus all men were wearing the suits.
However women's clothes were different from each countries:
Vietnamese and American women wore the black jacket and black pants.
Mexican woman wore white blouse and white pants.
New Zea land woman wore floral designed jacket and black pants
I could not remember Indian woman wore what type of formal, but maybe it was different with others.
I could find each cultures from women's clothes! How interesting it is!
I guess if Japanese woman is here, she will wear black jacket and pants.
In the kick-off meeting, after Sirri, our organizer director, explained the purpose of CSC,
each host organization had speech of greeting.
Also each sub-teams showed the project summary and introduce each members.
After that, we moved to upstairs to have mini party:-)
Before I left the meeting room, one man came and talked to me.
He was interested in my job role, PLM Solution Service, since he belongs to IZTECH and his major is PLM.
(I forgot to get his business card...)
He asked me about PLM, PLM company in US, PLM in cloud and my department area for PLM etc.
That was other thing I was surprised. I did not expected I would be asked something related to PLM in Izmir.
In the party, my sub-team3 talked with Mr.Murah, the director of IZKA(Izumir Development Agency), and he introduced
us to other project members.
They were very nice.
I thought I have to be careful for my behavior, because I heard the hierarchy is very important in Turkey,
and I am the younger one in IBM team (maybe including members of host organization).
However, they were very kind and friendly!
They, the host organization, are trying to make a change for Izmir.
They are open-minded, very kind and friendly, which is very lucky for me, because I do not like hierarchy...haha
Anyway, I think my team have a good start and relationship with IZKA.
