Event Blog: Reflection and Update from the Covenant House Sleep Out 2022

 

Date: 17th Nov 2022

I joined several Accenture, Chicago colleagues to sleep outside yesterday night in freezing cold(17˚F/-8˚C), snow, and wind. I could barely sleep for a few hours, but it was worth the pain and experience to show our support and solidarity with the youths who had to experience this daily. I am proud and thankful to have your encouragement and support.

It was eye-opening to know the several other wrap-around services provided by Covenant House Illinois beyond providing shelter and food. Those include but are not limited to mental health, training, legal, and other services essential to help the youths get back to the mainstream and lead a life with respect.

I genuinely appreciate your support, encouragement, and generous contribution to my fundraiser. I exceeded my personal fundraising goal of $10,000! THANK YOU.

I am grateful to my fellow sleepers for making it a wonderful evening and believing in this cause! 

My son joined me this time and raised funds. He exceeded his personal fundraising goal of $500. Please see my Q&A with Covenant House here -> A Q&A with long-time Sleep Out participant: Anil Kar (covenanthouseil.org)

Event Blog: Discussion with PMI, Washington DC Chapter - Managing Cloud Programs - May 2022

 

There has been an increased pace in cloud adoption over the last few years. Digital transformation across the industries is led by significant and strategic cloud acceleration programs. Project management in cloud programs needs different skills than those of traditional application development programs. How should one prepare for these significant transformations? What are the additional skills required?

Thank you, Project Management Institute Washington, DC chapter, for the invitation to talk about this exciting topic. Program Management in the cloud is evolving and will see further changes. We need to understand and immerse in the cloud continuum.
