Cisco is full of super talented, highly driven people. As I got to know more about team members, I find out many hidden talents. People had radio ready silky voices, played piano, sang, wrote technical blogs for fun, knew Camtasia inside and out. As a person delivering creative content, I wanted to cut budget and I wondered if their skill sets could be leveraged for projects with the built in benefits of team cohesion, cross-training and morale building. Leadership supported their staff lending a hand and thus, Cisco Made Here was born. I requested skills and samples be shared in the areas of VO, license free music and animation. These were cataloged in a Confluence/Dropbox set up tagged by skill. The video is a sample of one submission from a technical team member.
