• Hi John.
• Hi Steve. Long time no see.
• Yes, it’s been ages, hasn’t it? Good summer holiday?
• Not bad. Went to Hawaii again. How about you?
• Me too! Must go somewhere different for once next year!
• I’ve been thinking the same thing. Maybe Florida.
• Sounds like a good choice. I heard that it’s a nice place. Well, it’s been nice to catch up but we should probably get started.
• Good idea. Can you kick off by clarifying the situation for me?
• Sure. Basically, the problem is that my department is having huge problems with our new computer system, so we really need some more training.
• Really? According to our previous discussion, the main priority for training was language skills.
• Yeah, that was true, but due to unforeseen circumstances we’ve had to recruit more staff and they don’t have enough technical knowledge.
• I’m afraid changing the staff development plan in the middle of the year like that wouldn’t go down very well at the head office.
• I totally understand your position on this. Can’t you ask the language training provider for an intensive course to leave time and money for IT training?
• I think they’d find that extremely difficult to agree to. You’ll just have to ask your staff to teach themselves in their free time.
• That doesn’t really sound acceptable. I think a lot of them will just quit.
• Well, I’m afraid I don’t really know what to suggest. As I said, we would find it extremely difficult to agree to changing the language training.
• So, we seem to have come to some kind of a stalemate. Can I suggest that we go away and think about it, then meet again next week?
• Okay, let’s do that. It was good to see you again anyway.
• It was great to see you too. Hopefully our next meeting will be a bit more productive.
• I hope so too! See you next week.
• Okay. See you then.
