ABOUT THE SESSION

Join us for a lively and insightful fireside chat featuring two modern work professionals and MVPs who will share their journeys from a consultancy career to transitioning into in-house roles within customer organizations.

We will explore the differences we’ve observed between working as consultants and as internal resources, offering personal reflections on our experiences and sharing our career stories. Additionally, we’ll discuss how Microsoft’s marketing strategies and social media trends influence the work and priorities of consultants and customers alike. We also reveal what we wish we had known as consultants when selling and delivering services to customers – and vice versa.

This session promises to be a thought-provoking, fun, and shameless discussion filled with personal anecdotes and practical advice. Hopefully, it will provide a deeper understanding of the different dynamics between the consultancy and customer worlds. Whether you’re a consultant, a customer, contemplating a career change, or just interested in two recovering consultants babbling away, this session is for you.
