Let me preface this entry with the fact that the company story assignment helped refresh my memory on Xerox's mission statements and core values.
The team I work with at Xerox was invited today to attend a meeting with the President of Xerox Europe Armando Zagalo De Lima and the president of our group Quincy Allen for a town hall meeting. I have attended these meeting in the past and always wondered by these guys/gals took the time to talk to program managers and engineers. We don't sell the products or services to the customers we deliver to the sales people and channels. I thought my work had no impact on there business in another country because we take direction for managers but after understanding why IMC is important I see how my attitude and work processes effect the end customer. I cannot discuss what we talked about but we got the consistent message that what we believe in the US is carried forward in Europe. The mission was consistent "Our strategic intent is to help people find better ways to do great work -- by constantly leading in document technologies, products and services that improve our customers' work processes and business results." I have opportunities everyday to do these things and I need to continue to hold these values throughout my day.
Overall, a very inspiring meeting which moved this stakeholder to blog about it.
