Part A: Finish database analysis and create presentation about the accreditation
Part B: Today I took the most valuable decision in my whole time here at Smurfit Kappa. While working on the presentation, the Vice President of the company walked in the lab to talk with the manager of the division of packaging. Before they started their meeting my manager asked me about some of my most valuable findings. I took the opportunity and asked the Vice President if he knew about the accreditation with the ONAC. After a brief explanation about the topic, I told him that if he wanted and had time, he could come in tomorrow for my presentation. He totally agreed and told me to meet him at the presidents building at eight in the morning.
This moment made me feel so proud about myself. I was taking chances and the opportunities given. I’m now not only presenting to my division bosses but to the Vice President of Smurfit Kappa Colombia. I’m now modifying the presentation to make it more appealing to the Vice President by focusing on just he benefits rather than explaining the procedure. I was told a couple days ago that the head of the Lab once gave a presentation to the VP about the accreditation but failed the approval.
I’m absolutely sure that by modifying my strategy positioning the accreditation as an extra tool to advertise the company to new customers. I’m learning that the business world is all about adapting and satisfying the customer. Smurfit Kappa’s mission is always to satisfy the customer and this is going to be my main argument for the request of the approval of the accreditation.
My assumptions of the organization are absolutely accurate, a very prestigious organization with a massive amount of responsibilities with quality, environment and customer satisfaction. In the other hand, the initial assumptions about my project are absolutely different. Initially I thought that my project was going to be very important for my professional career, but never that I would have on my hands the possibility to start a colossal change for this organization. If the accreditation project gets approved by the Vice President, this laboratory would be the first accredited lab of fiberboard and paper of all Latin America.
Communicating with coworkers with a lot of experience inside the company has been crucial for my presentation. Their knowledge about the company and the VP are my aces for this presentation. Things get very interesting everyday working here. Although I’m working here for just a month the responsibility given to me makes me grow as a professional. I feel motivated by the project assigned to me
