Hi everyone


I have recently gained my CEng and volunteered to be the industry representative at Gartner UK.  I was wondering if any of you could advise on an approach to kick starting my role within Gartner Consulting?


I was thinking of arranging some 'brown bag lunches/lunch and learn/drop-in sessions' for our consultants so that they can come and find out what the IET is all about.  To do this though I would need some marketing material (which I gather I can order) and probably a greater in-depth understanding of the IET offer.  Are there any individuals in the Egham, Surrey area that could assist in a small event or just meet with me to help steer me in the right direction?


To keep in line with the INSPIRE - INFORM - INFLUENCE moto, I believe my role is to do the following:

- INSPIRE: inform colleagues who the IET is; why they should join the IET; and the benefits of joining

- INFORM: inform colleagues of the application process and facilitate help from other volunteer colleauges who do this regularly

- INFLUENCE: help broaden opinion amongst the IT consultant community that being a member of the IET is a good thing!!


Anyone able to steer me in the right direction


Yours

An eager volunteer

    Hi David, Brian and Kiritkumah

    Thank you for your responses, I wasn't sure how active the community was so feared I may be shouting in an empty room!! 

    David - I like the idea of taking the lead from the lunch&learns/drop-in sessions to then develop relationships and help target my efforts.

    Brian - Good call ref guaduate entrants, I am pretty sure they are intending to start recruiting younger consultants; however, I do know they have a graduate scheme for those joining as sales (selling Gartner research subscriptions) but they are not necessarily engineers.  I will go and find out. 

    Kiritkumah - thank you for your Inspire/Inform/Influence info, I will make sure I have an answer to the, "...so why did you join" question!!  The global nature of the IET will fit well with Gartner's global footprint.  We have offices across Europe and North America, among a few other locations - I would be specially interested in raising the profile of female engineers where I can!!

    Thank you for your help
