Project Kickoff in Nashville

This week, we kicked off a new sub-project to implement SAP at a company that we have acquired.  Even though the subsidiary is located in central California, our kickoff was held in Nashville, Tennessee.  We have team members here who flew in from China, France, Canada, Mexico, and all around the United States.  The total team probably consists of around 50 people.  In addition to plants in California, the scope could include distribution centers in Singapore, Holland, China, Kentucky, and Southern California. 

This evening, we took the entire team to the Wild Horse Saloon, a large country western place with live music and line dancing.  The alcohol didn't flow as freely as usual, probably because it's a new team and people are still afraid to let their hair down.  I'm guessing that in another month or two when everyone is feeling stressed that there will be more heavy drinkers.
