Getting What you Deserve: 7 Steps to Gain Respect in Your Organization

Too often we hear people complaining that they don't get respect in their organization or that they aren't involved in projects when they should be. It seems like our organizations don't understand what we do, why it's necessary and the overall value that we can bring to any project (including package implementations). This session will provide the audience with insight into why this lack of respect exists, how we got here and how we can change it. This session will:

Provide a quick overview of how we got here and what the future will look like if we don't do something about it
Reveal and discuss the 7 things we can do to change how the business views us
Demonstrate what each of us can do to improve our personal value to the organization
