This was our final day abroad, as we all begin our journeys back to Columbus tomorrow. It's hard to believe that we began this adventure three weeks ago. While we are all eager to get home and see our friends and families (and do laundry), it is sad to see this chapter end. From climbing 272 stairs at the Batu Caves to fishing for own dinner in Langkawi, we have gained cultural experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.
Today was bittersweet, as it was our last day at the Western Digital offices. Over the past couple of days our team has worked tirelessly to put together our final presentation, and it all was put into action when we presented our findings to the Chief Procurement Officer and the VP of Asian Operations.
Today was all about compiling our findings into a comprehensive presentation for Western Digital. I won't bore you with the details - but lets just say that things started to get real when the six of us spent the whole day in one, windowless office crunching away at excel and creating dashboard images on a computer screen for the entire work day. Fortunately, we made great progress and should be just about ready to present our findings to the Western Digital - Malaysian team tomorrow afternoon, and then some higher level executives after that.
With only a couple days left in Malaysia, I've started thinking a lot about this journey we've been on and all the great memories and experiences our team will fly away with. And since I hold so much power as the blogger, I decided it was time to get the rest of the team in a reflective state of mind as well. Over the next couple of days, as our journey here concludes, I will share our team's thoughts on this adventure we've been on together.
Today was the beginning of our last work week here in Malaysia. We spent the day visiting our final supplier, where we got to see a very impressive factory floor and learn more about risk management.
