Avanade UK & Ireland’s Post

🌟 What is the Power of Three?🌟 More new things i have learnt...... Something that has stood out more than most things in my first few months in Avanade, has been the collaboration between Avanade, Accenture, and Microsoft. The three organizations combined offer cutting-edge solutions that redefine the boundaries of technology, strategy, and operations. 🎥 In my latest video, I delve into the essence of this powerful alliance - exploring how the combined expertise of Avanade's tech-driven solutions, Accenture's global consulting prowess, and Microsoft's pioneering technology platforms create a synergy that accelerates digital transformation like never before. Join me as I unpack the "Power of Three" - sharing insights into how Avanade, Accenture, and Microsoft are not just shaping the future of technology but also empowering organizations to achieve more in an increasingly digital world. 👉 Watch the video here and enjoy! #microsoft #accenture #avanade #powerof3 Stephen Shannon, Donal Óg McCarthy, Fiona Kiernan, Joe Fitzgibbon, Adam Kelly, Abby Wright, Rebecca Ariyo, Suzanne Sheridan ☁, Jarrod Mouton ☁️, Gary Drennan, Jacqueline Schofield, Alex Ferreira, Ciara Sullivan, Karl Kohler, Edward Taggart, Gretta Bernie, Alan Grogan, Ian Marritt, Gareth Martin, Kiana Toufighi, Marie McCarthy, Maud Farrow, Hugh Dawson, Martina Naughton, Mervyn Cunningham

Aloha my friends! 🤙🏼 Today a non MS Build topic, but something what is very important to me. Imagine you are a young person, perhaps fresh out of university, with no professional experience. Companies always want the crème de la crème, the perfect consultant, the perfect developer, etc., preferably with endless years of professional experience. But I've never heard of a baby being born and us talking about Einstein's theory of relativity (up front, I'd probably lose this discussion). So we need time and trust in our talent so that talent actually becomes the incredible people we will then admire. Entry-level programs are therefore very important in order to have a chance to find yourself in a company for the first time. The programs can have different names, we call them Academies at Avanade. Last week, I visited Lisbon in my vacation, and also the beautiful Avanade office. I had the opportunity to meet David Mota. You ask yourself who is this individual? He was part of the very first European ERP academy we executed. And I remember him as very active and supportive during these times.    Now finally I met him in real life (which is rare as Covid changed our travel behaviors a lot) and I'm very proud to see how he used his chance and became a great consultant. Previously, he was doing another job. Lateral entrants can also bring real value to a company, so we shouldn't always focus on the one super expert. It's like many flowers that you plant, you don't know which one will end up being the biggest and most beautiful. But if you treat them all equally, you'll find out! It's fantastic that we live these values at Avanade, and I'm also happy about every other company that gives talented people these opportunities. And if these people end up in the Microsoft community like me, ole ole party! 🥳 Thank you for reading! #DropTheMic 🫳🏼🎤 #Avanade #AvanadeProud #AvanadePortugal #Lisbon #Portugal #BizApps #Dynamics365 #BusinessApplications #MVPBuzz #Academies #Yes #Ihave #BackToTheFuture #Tshirt #ILikeThatMovie #NoMoreHashtagsToday #NeedToJumpIntoACall #MyBreakWasVeryShort #HaveAGreatDay

Bringing Wednesday to a close! Over halfway through the week and before a Bank Holiday weekend 😎 Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting one of our client teams ✨️ for lunch. 🎉 One of the advantages of working in the Tech Consulting industry is being able to work across clients and industries, and being able to learn from each of them, their approaches and how they get stuff done; all while bringing our extensive and distinctive Microsoft and industry experiences to the table. ⏳️I take huge pleasure from taking the time out to go and meet our people, and hear about their work on the ground, delivering to our clients, day in and day out. Be it a team of 1 or 20, just grabbing a coffee ☕️ or having a nice lunch 🍽, this is an experience I cherish and remember fondly afterwards. 🌱 It's such a nice feeling seeing that team (visually) growing over time; and seeing each of the individuals growing and enjoying what they do and the impact they bring. 🪄 Helping others grow, and "achieving through others", is such a core value at Avanade and our teams; something I am really #avanadeproud of. 🗯 I am continually impressed by our people and engagements, and how they are supporting digital transformations in Ireland, from as diverse industries as public sector, financial services and utilities. 👨💻 Being the world's leading Microsoft expert comes with responsibilities (great power 💪), and also great benefits - I really enjoy the superb opportunities I have to work with really smart people, passionate about Microsoft technologies and always trying to make an impact. Nothing makes this more real to me than meeting our client teams. #avanadeproud #avanadeimpact
