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. 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!

Awesome, thank you!

I have two years in ERP Functional consultancy and your explanation is truely what is on the ground. Thank you so much.

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!

4 years in the ERP Consulting space and I can relate with what you are saying...great video

Thank you, AJ! I’m glad you enjoy the videos.

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!

Hello Eric, Thank You for this video this helps aspiring individuals with ample information of the role and the nuances of Job. I an HR personnel (generalist) wanted to transition as a HCM ERP consultant. I do not have HCM certifications but, I like reengineering and process mapping and setting organizations processes. Would you have any advise for me as to where can I kick start my career as a HCM consultant.

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.

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 just graduated from school with MBA in supply chain. I like to be a consultant. Do I need to take SAP courses to put my foot in the doorstep.

Hi Tal, it can help to have certification in a specific erp system, and SAP is a good option.

@@erickimberling thank you for your reply. Any particular certification you recommend for my case?

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.

Thank you, Munshi! It's always good to get outside validation of what you're already thinking, so I'm glad to hear that this video does that for you.

I have been doing ERP consulting for many years. Recently, my client started to give me a new title : chameleons...
