Journeying from Client Side to Microsoft Partner: Barriers, Drivers, and Lessons for both sides

The journey from being on the Client Side across into Consultancy at a Microsoft Partner is a significant one.

It's also far more varied in the barriers to overcome than many see on the surface.

Especially when you're Women In Tech, who've already had successful first careers outside of the industry, looking to navigate what is seen as a male-dominated and highly-demanding landscape."

Join three women with very different back stories as they talk through their real-life experiences on:

• What were the obstacles slowing them down
• What drove them forward
• What were those first 3 / 6 / 12 months like

And provide advice on:

• What benefits career-changers and Client-Side specialists bring across with them
• What Partner organisations can do to best support such transitioners
• Whether this could be the right journey for you

Journeying from End User to Consultant - Would We Lie to You?

Are you an end user considering the transition to Consultancy or are you a Partner who wants to understand the barriers that end users face when considering the jump?

Having made this journey ourselves, and now being part of a D365 team where around a third of our consultants have made this journey, we want to share the REAL truths and expose some of the myths around making this jump.

We’ll talk about our real-life experiences in a bid to help you find the right journey for you and/or your organisation. We will explore/discuss:

* What stopped me? 

* What pushed me? 

* First few weeks experience as a consultant

* Is it the right journey for me?

* What benefit do end users bring to consultancy & how can Partners support them?

Joint session with Kayleigh Duddy.
