Behind the Scenes... Thanks to flickr's StephenMitchell for this photo!Hey, it's Alana- your friendly blog editor.

Although you may not be able to tell just by reading this blog or one particular post, there's a lot going on behind the scenes...

The IMLP Blog "went live" in August of 2008 (so we're coming up on our 1 year birthday) and was the first leadership program blog of it's kind here at GE (We're pretty proud of it!).

The premise behind the blog is to provide you (the reader) some background on what life is like as a member of the Information Management Leadership Program directly from those who are currently experiencing it (interns too!). So, as IMLPs, we write in this blog as a side gig (in addition to managing systems projects).

Every six months, members of the IMLP program take on a new project and learn to work directly with a new team... and sometimes this takes place in a different city, state, or country.

Take June 2009 for example. Right now, those in their 4th (and final) rotation of the program are interviewing for off-program jobs, while 2nd/3rd rotationers are waiting to hear about their next assignments, and 1st rotationers are getting ready to kickoff the program at the end of this month before heading to Junior Bootcamp for the month of July.

So,  let us know how we're doing. Send me an e-mail directly (I'm nice, I promise), leave us a comment, or bookmark our site to keep up-to-date on the life happenings of an IMLP.

life update 6/17: My next rotation will be in Houston, Texas for Oil & Gas. More to come in the blog on my cross-country adventure.
