I won $5

Our presentation to Ursula Burns, the President of Xerox went well. I was really impressed by her understanding of the business and the technology at Xerox. She came up through the ranks as a Mechanical Engineer yet she gets the big picture business ramifications where we need to be and how to get there.


Prior to the meeting, my team picked the word trifurcation to try and work into the conversation. I won $5 from my team by using it appropriately: "We need to trifurcate the value proposition of the offering across the three business units to maximize the value." The hard part was not laughing or looking at my team after I'd said the word.


It was a long week and I'm beat. I'm looking forward to day of relaxing tomorrow. I'm glad to be home.
