8:30am: I arrive by bike at OpenBox. A sunny day in Lyon, between Fourvière and the Incity Tower, is a real delight! I hope Clément hasn't forgotten the croissants. Thomas is walking in! Others take scooters from the nearby train station. Loïc - Project manager on the move. 10:00am: A stand-up meeting with coffee in hand. It's my turn to take the lead. We do this every fortnight, it's our way of keeping every up to speed with what's going on, ironing out any little creases and taking quick decisions, from the most trivial (“how about we adopt a cactus?”) to the important operational ones about projects. In addition, we share our experiences. It may look chilled out but it can be serious stuff and we take notes for anyone who is absent. Everyone plays a part. Frédéric – Design Manager. 11:00am: I head over to the Pichon work site in Veauche. I have to get a status update about the ongoing work from Philippe, the site manager, and meet the client. I like the fact that my work is split between the office and the field. I'm going to check out the footbridge that has just been laid. It's very satisfying to participate in a project where the building's architecture and its integration into the landscape have been so carefully planned. Loïc – Project manager still on the move. 1:30pm: Companies have started replying to the invitation to tender for our latest development. I have to compile a shortlist. Good news, with a little optimisation, a few technical adjustments and some negotiation, I should be able to complete the necessary purchases within the budgets. Then we have to bring in the companies before making the final choice. In late afternoon I have a meeting to confirm the successful completion of our project in Meyzieu. Using Finalcad® for the removal of contingencies should make things go quicker. Jean-Christian - Concentrated Projects Manager.
The day is over, and the last person out flicks the switch to off. Outside, Lyon, the city of light, is still bustling!
