Evaluation of ST and LT goals

by vincenm » Sun Jul 19, 2015 11:17 pm
A brief of my work experience:
Within three months of joining the company, I started working at a position that was a level higher than my contemporaries. I personally maintained a minimum of 95% fulfillment of key performance indicators and proactively advised the team to make sure that 90% fulfillment of such indicators was met. I analyzed the major cause of the contract violations made by my team and advised changes in business process to higher-ups, reducing no. of violations by 40%. I was involved in creating a procedure that brought down the lead time in the supply chain by 1.5 days; received commendation from client CIO after presenting the innovation. I had compiled technical details of various HP and client teams and trained my team in using those to streamline communications, thereby reducing interactions by 30% that allowed for quicker implementation of solutions. Thus my career till now solving issues in the IT operations network of my client and advising changes to business process have given me the right foundation needed for me to make my career jump.

ST goal:
I aspire to work as a consultant for a top firm such as Accenture. I hope to leverage the professional experience I have with the knowledge gained through MoM to work with hi-tech and IT industry clients, providing solutions in operations such as making cost reduction program by offshoring, boosting the 'Customer Experience' in sales, and redesigning the procurement of raw materials. I would operate as part of delivery teams responsible for projects, supporting business development opportunities through the development of proposals, and acting as a subject matter expert in operational activities. My career as a consultant, solving operational issues faced in the industry, will help me understand the various nuances of managing operations of a product or project, thus helping me transition into the role of SVP smoothly.

LT goal:
The movement towards a connected global economy and unprecedented explosion of technology has brought about immense opportunities to develop newer processes, tools and methodologies. I believe I am made for the role of SVP of Operations in a major hi-tech company, where I can establish the company's strategy and goals in the day to day operations of a company. This will involve working with different cross-functional teams, which include finance and sales, and measuring progress and adjusting processes accordingly, thus adding to the bottom line of the organization. To do this, I require the knowledge of how business is managed across functions of a company.

Please give a critique of my goals. Does the tasks shown for both goals make sense to you? Does my work experience also provides some push to the case I make for my ST goal?

Hi Jon

I saw your reply on the other post too. I thought I had deleted that earlier one before I posted the new one today. The reason why i wanted to delete the post, where the LT goal was to move into Product , is because I learned that the consulting in Product development and management for companies such as Booz and Accenture is small one. TH strategy and operations consulting in these companies are the bigger ones. Also my current work experience makes me more suited for operations consulting. Besides my current job doesn't show any link that I can use to make a case for myself in front of Accenture post-MBA that I can work on product consulting assignments.

Hence I revisited my ST goals and LT goals and went on to add a new post about it today.

So it would be great if you can check if my current work experience, ST and LT goals are aligned or not.

Thanks you for your help.

Hey dude,
No prob. The short of it is that your goals make sense. (Especially since it's more relevant to your past experience). Their being fewer jobs in an industry doesn't necessarily make it a poor goal (as long as you can sell yourself within that industry), but the combination of that, your interests and your past experience, does make your change make more sense.

Best,
JF
