A masterclass. A lot of this resonates with project management (I am a project manager by trade), you start off and it's all about tools, techniques, processes but as you mature into the profession you realise that it's much, much more about the people. They always say 'do your stakeholder analysis', which is a very basic process on the face of it, but peel the onion and you realise that there are some people, for example, that proactively work behind the scenes to ensure your failure! And they'll never tell you that, might not even be consciously aware of it*. A good consultant needs to peel the onion. Fantastic video. *Look around the table after having to make an apology to the c-suite and see who's mood improves!
Hi Eric, thank you for sharing your insight and career experience as an ERP consultant. Recently I tried to switch my career role from Project Consultant (Accounting and Controlling ) to Microsoft Dynamics 365 consultant, I hope that I can make it come true and develop myself in the right direction. Greetings from Germany.
Hi Eric. I really enjoyed this video. I’m an aspiring ERP consultant and these types of insights are a great value for somebody who is trying to build a successful career in the industry. Thank you for sharing!
I am doing Chartered Accountancy. I like tech too, so please advise whether it would better to be ERP consultations. Please that will be good move for me.
Hello Eric. Thank you for the good summary. The plethora of experiences made by you and your team(s) over the years provide a substantial knowledge base. It was good to emphasise the listening skills, to think in the grand scheme and the ability (not to say requirement) to understand the variety of personal motivations driving (or slowing down) changes & implementations.

Hi Eric, Hope you doing well. I thoroughly relished learning and experiences you have been sharing. Those are crisp, precise and eloquently delineated. I am part of mid level management and definitely your learning are helpful to apply on flied. Overall great talks and content Thank you so much for sharing. All the best!
Hello Eric...Hope you are doing great. I wanted to convey my gratitude to you for the rich and highly beneficial content you have been posting for ERP Consultants across the globe. The "Be a Chameleon" part was intriguing to say the least. I am currently operating at Manager level for one of the Big 4 consulting firms in Oracle Cloud Finance Functional space. I am definitely looking forward to connect with you and maybe even work with you someday.. :)
I've been watching your videos and I would like to thanks and say hi :) I know it is a lot of work to make it, but I witness the quality of them. As you can imagine, I also work on the same field and have seen what you mentioned. Thanks again for the great work. Best!
When you say something about ERP, it seems that someone inside me echoes with you. As you said, listening and articulating the customer requirements is one of the critical skills of an ERP consultant. The best solution may not be suited for the people in the organization. I think Perito rules apply in the digital transformation spectrum (The people are 80%, and technology is 20%). I like your way of seeing a technology-agnostic approach to digital transformation solutions, which is unbiased and best for the the client. I would love to hear more about your experience. Working together on an exciting digital transformation initiative would be my pleasure. I look forward to the exciting journey.

Hello Eric, Which ERP is better to start learning and to get job here in Hyderabad, India. Oracle ERP,Netsuite ERP or Microsoft Dynamics ERP to work long term
Hi Eric, I’m currently comparing two internship offers, one is for ERP Implementation (very similar to what your video describes). The other is a traditional supply chain role at an automotive company in the Purchasing division. I am a bit torn on what to choose. What do you consider as some of the key advantages and differences to pursuing a consulting role early on rather than a traditional industry role? Also, does starting in ERP Implementation turn someone into a one trick pony and not make them marketable for a potential career change? I am still young an am unsure on the path I want to take but am afraid that picking one that pushes me into 1 lane for a good portion of my career.
Hiiiii sir this is tejash. I am an mba graduate, I want become ERP functional consultant in HR or CRM field. Sir please suggest me which ERP software is in demand and best in job prospects

I worked as a n IT Consultant for 5 years, beside this, at the same first 3 years, I also worked as researcher for 'SchoolERP Market in Bangladesh' and next 2 years as project coordinator for School ERP. I also took part in functional consultancy with the team. But now want to be a professional ERP Functional Consultant in online job market (freelancer) n don't want to take part in programming as I don't know programming. What tools I newly need to learn?
