Consultants' diary, May 2008

The Consultants' Diary is a map of where our trainers visited last month as well as diary entries about some of our consultants' trips.

Click on a "pin" to find which company each trainer visited. The map is interactive - use the controls on the top left of the map to zoom in and out. You can use your mouse to "drag" your way around the map and can switch to satellite imagery by clicking on "sat".

Click on the "minus" symbol to switch off all the map pointers. Clicking on one of the trainers will show only their locations. Click the "plus" symbol to show all the pointers again.

I recently got back from India where I spent 6 days in Delhi with Spicejet, a low cost airline working in the internal Indian aviation sector. They had previously used Q-Pulse 4.2 but had let it lapse about 12 months ago, so to all intents and purposes it was a new system for them.

The guys at Spicejet were a great group of people to teach, very proactive and keen to get hands on with the system (see photos attached). The training was split into classroom theory "show and tell" sessions, followed by practical sessions where they gathered round 3 or 4 computers and very much assisted each other in getting to know the system. It certainly gave me a different slant on delivering practical training with a very enthusiastic bunch of people.

The only down side was that given the breadth of how they wish to use the system (all modules will be in use) 6 days is not enough time to do them justice, something perhaps that needs to be taken into account for overseas customers.

On a lighter note, this was also the first time I have had training disrupted by monkeys! One afternoon we were in the training room and there was a commotion from the ceiling above where a monkey had climbed into the ceiling space, got itself trapped and was busy destroying anything it could find. The building was evacuated for two hours while they coaxed it out!

Apart from that I had a great time - I was given a guided tour of some of the major sites of Delhi which was fascinating and the staff at Spicejet looked after me all the way.

No hesitation in going back if I get the chance!
