March 04 Not just Project Management, PROGRAM Management......Often within Microsoft we have roles that are referred to as Program Managers - typically this is where an individual is managing multiple projects at one time, but also often contributing to the development of the business strategy, working closely with the groups and other programs managers. Key focus is on driving continuous improvement (through process, cost or other initiatives) and the achievement of operational objectives through teaming across functions and divisions. This role involves PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE, and relationships are key........check out this clip where Leonardo tells us more about his role as a GLOBAL Program Manager in Operations for our one of our ERP Dynamics Products...also check out our current Program Manager opportunities under Operations at the following link: Current vacancies in MS Ireland
A February 13 "So what's in it for me" I hear some people ask.....How can I be successful and grow within a large Multinational Organisation like Microsoft??!!
I wanted to call out here what I hear our employees get excited about when it comes to career, personal growth and other benefits. And don't just take my word for it, we will also feature people over coming weeks that will fill you in on their own career path, and how they have found inspiration in the culture and fun of their own team and beyond......
Along with a dynamic company culture which innovates every day, most people talk about the really SMART people that they work with, helping them to deliver and achieve!! This keeps us on our toes, and really drives great discussions and outcomes across the company!! We have the latest technology in-house to help you get what you need done faster........also overall we encourage a flexible working environment. Typically people work hard here, but the aim is to work around what else is going on in your life too!
Our package offering varies from group to group - we have specific revenue based targets for people in Sales and Consulting roles, while in other areas, the offering is usually made up if a base salary, reviewed on an annual basis as individual distinction is always recognised;0), on hire stock and annual bonuses determined by review of your work performance and productivity. We also offer pension, health protection for both you and your dependants, 25 days holiday, flexible working hours, maternity leave, a highly subsidised canteen, free car-parking, on-site gym, discounted company store, education assistance, travel pass schemes....and much more.

January 28 Revenue Program Management - what's it all about?Deirdre from OEM Operations (that's Original Equipment Manufacturers to you and me, ie. companies who use product components from one or more other companies to build a product that is then sold under its own company name and brand) recently met with me to fill us all in on what it takes to be a Revenue Program Manager. Lots of grit and determination, as well as excellent people skills sound like a must! But the perks of working with people virtually across the globe and some travel make it a REALLY interesting role! Check out her video here......
