Delivered!

Tuesday morning and just pulling into Birmingham, two more stops till I am in Sheffield and on time. I am off up there to meet one of my stakeholders that I have been working with for the last 5 months as we have just finished rolling out a new information platform for them.

The project has not really been a typical project in any aspects. If I had to write down the skills I have used over the past five months it would go onto another page. It developed me as a consultant so much that my team leader has seen me change as a person far more than expected over the period of the project. I have been working with all parts of the organisation, from business change consultants in Capgemini Consulting through to developers in our outsourcing unit.

Working with the variety of people that I am doing has also been a great opportunity for me to decide on a career path post the BTC. I have been on the BTC for roughly 22 months now and had such a varied experience of roles, the exact reason for me joining the BTC. I have learnt something from every role and it’s only now that I have this experience that I can look to hone my skills and look to transition out of the BTC and into another Business Unit.

This is a decision I have to make, but it will really only be the first decision I have to make. As time goes on other opportunities will come up, and in the fast paced environment that we are in I imagine that my career won’t just be a straight ladder to my goals, it will be a climbing frame where there are lots of paths to the top.

This will be my last blog post on here as I move aside for another writer to take my place and allow the opportunity for a new BTC’er to take you through their thoughts as their career progresses.

“sorry Ben – off sick today so not going to be able to make the meeting this afternoon.”

Flexible is something you have to be in a role like this, I still need to achieve my target for the day so better get back onto it...
