What’s a good practice within IBM that someone can truly learn?

Feel like I haven’t really been learning anything and I’m really wanting to learn or to apply my brain a bit more

Apply to Enterprise Strategy, no joke they have a lot of ex-MBBs there that do quite interesting work. It’s super small part tho but the only area of IBM that touches some type of strategy work.

You may need referral from a Partner and you need to interview with case interviews to get in. But there is not the pressure you would have at an MBB interview.

Learning is something we do in every practice . At the moment for example - if you are in DTT , there is a big focus on safemaker , C3 , etc . In HCT - lot of focus on AWS , in SAP there is focus on CFIN and so on .

“Truly” learn - that onus is on us as consultants , not on practices

i feel you, I have the same situation, if I want to learn there is always an additional cost outside IBM. I am attached to a finance team yet part of consulting/CIO. looking to work in project management however, i am limited to learning only tester or analyst which is only a lateral move, same pay more work

Is it common in the industry for licensed insurance agents to not get any commissions on a referral in which you personally write the policy? Ex: If a current client refers a prospect to our team, I would not receive commission. Additionally, if I write a policy for friends/family I would get a small incentive but it’s a fraction of the commission producers make.
Management is considering changing this going forward. However, I’m not sure how I should react if they keep things how they are now.

Paranoid that my utilization is low this year and my current assignment ends right before our yearly review happens

Recently hired a consulting firm for basic process mapping project (4 team members).

They roll in 4 deep to every meeting. They marketed themselves as expert in process mapping and SMEs but really seem lost. Still trying to come up with a project plan after 3 weeks.

I have empathy bc I have been on the other side of this myself as a consultant new to a project, but on this side it just seems laughable. It definitely appears they are working crazy hours too for no meaningful output.

Hey all - how do you guys sell or lead things you aren’t genuine believing in? It’s almost like a fake it till you make it? I find it difficult to be behind a product or technology I don’t understand enough of or believe and I previously used to work in sales. Also any books/techniques which help. I am often too genuine or objective.
