Egerton University was hit.....by an IBM wave

Power of knowledge is like a huge wave...it hits you, embraces you totally and when it has passed by, you are covered with drops (drops of knowledge in this case). It is up to you to decide, do you let those drops to sink in or you just wipe them off with a towel.

On Friday we made a whole day wave of information and knowledge to the Egerton University. Technology session and after lunch "soft skills". The students were technology students and like in many universities that area does not include, sadly enough, the soft skills e.g. presentation skills, writing CV, time management, product management, expectations management.

Despite the university students being officially on winter holiday, there was great amount of them participating to our session. Smart students, really into what we presented. Plenty of good questions.

Special thanks from the students came about the different soft skills sessions. The finding was that those would be needed as part of the learning curriculum of the students. This is pretty much the case in many countries around the world for technology studies.

The drops of knowledge we brought with our IBM wave definitely sank in to the Egerton students ;o)"Thank you e-mails" are floating in and it really got the whole team happy. We enjoyed talking with the students and having interactive workshops with them.

Little bit about Egerton University....
The Egerton university campus is absolutely stunning, green with plenty of flowers. The land was donated by Lord Egerton for school purposes. The education started as farm school and in year 1987 the school changed to Egerton University. The farm business has stayed though as part of the university activities. They produce milk products and have their own university farm. Their own yogurt with the university logo as the brand. I hear the yogurt is the most delicious. One of the colleagues from IBM Kenya says they used to drive to Egerton to get the yogurt.
