The Consultant's Blog May 2013
No? Well, here’s the thing…..
in June last year, we talked about how SAP project client sites are a mix of people, all trying to
work together to achieve the same ultimate goal – successful implementation!
The implementation partner brings along a
range of management consultants, from experienced task orientated SAP gurus to the more flamboyant ‘people’ orientated
project managers, partners and administration experts. Add to that mix a full range of people seconded from the client’s
business to work at their sides, often including those who know their own business inside and out, and sometimes a few
who fear their working lives will never be the same again! Top it off with some third party software providers and a
few young graduates fresh out of uni or the SAP academy, and the mix is complete!
With some hideous deadlines thrown in
to add pressure, it becomes even more important to understand how to interact with all those different people to achieve
your own goals, and get the information and support you need from them to meet your deadlines.
So, how do you get all these different people to understand exactly what you need from them, agree with your priorities
and go out of their way to help you achieving your own results?
Okay, maybe that is a bit optimistic but I can help you learn how to slightly alter your own behaviour so that you:
- Communicate more effectively,
- Negotiate better,
- Increase acceptance of your brilliant ideas,
- Improve relationships,
- Create a better harmony in your workplace,
- Improve your and your team’s efficiency, and
- Maybe get you that promotion or pay rise you’ve been after!
Sounds to good to be true? It’s not - it’s called learning how to ‘role shift’ and is an incredibly effective tool for both your work and personal lives.
Our classroom based course ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You’ has been helping people from all sorts of backgrounds and experience learn how to effectively role shift for a number of years. Now, we are currently turning this set of tools including real business world scenarios into a DVD training session to make it even more accessible.
The DVD course will be available for purchase in June of this year - if you want to secure one of the first copies at a special early bird discounted rate, email me now and I will put you on the VIP waiting list.
Isn’t it time you invested in yourself and your own success?
