A View from the Corner Office

Presented by: John Vaszily

February 12, 2010

John Vaszily has over 30 years experience across a myriad of businesses and industries providing companies such as American Express, McKesson, Wells Fargo, U.S. Naval Supply Operations and others with IT leadership at the executive level. Throughout his career, consulting was an integral part of the management process from change management, right sizing an organization, new market penetrations, large software development efforts and business acquisitions to small business startups.

This broad based knowledge and experience with consultants affords him the opportunity to provide a unique and unbiased assessment of a consultant from the client’s viewpoint. During this session, he will share:

• Competencies required to be a successful consultant
• What behaviors and actions to avoid – “the shall nots”
• A simple model to take you beyond the power of 2
• How the art of consulting intersects with science to improve engagement outcomes
• What you wanted to know about the engagement but were afraid to ask (the client)

Join us February12 at the IMC breakfast meeting to learn about consulting from the client’s perspective!
