The A Team
I'm on the road again, this time in Dallas, Texas. I'm attending a training class this week for my new job with EDS. As is generally the case with training, we started the 1st day with introductions. The room is full of experienced consultants from diverse backgrounds, and it's really exciting to be working with top-shelf talent.
Additionally, I am thrilled to see the level of "organizational maturity" or whatever you'd like to call it. These guys really have it together when it comes to how to approach engagements. This new job is going to allow me to focus in a specific area of technology consulting, namely IT strategy. We help companies look at their current IT architecture and identify gaps, places they can save money, and areas where they should consider adopting new technologies. The purpose of these assessments is to make sure that our clients are running the most efficient and effective IT shop they can in support of their business objectives. This last part is a key distinction, in my mind.
So after a week of training, case studies, and looking at the tools that EDS provides us, I feel like I just joined the A Team.
