The Social Networking DNA for Students and University Alliances
"Catch them young and see them grow" is the crux of my post and its completely leaning towards highlighting Social Networking and Social Media as an enabler for Students, Teachers and University alliances to go mainstream using the powerful Social Media Platforms. When something becomes popular and has a great outreach, there has to be a way to tap the most of it and draw parallels into our areas. When the corporate world is seeing huge success and revolution in the way businesses are being done today with the help of the web and Social media, why not use these platforms to help “our students, our future” on-board these channels, become savvy witty and approach the corporate world when they are ready with a greater intellect.

Are Business Knowledge, Technical Abilities AND Soft Skills necessary ingredients to be a SAP Consultant?
If I’ve to answer the question Paul asked in his blog “HELP! Where are the skills?” OR if I’ve to suggest a new SAP entrant for specific skills to work on to be a Consultant OR if I’ve to design a curriculum for a diploma in SAP education OR if I’ve to hire a Consultant what skills I’d be looking at, most probably my feedback would circulate around this blog. For past few days I was thinking to 1) summarize the areas which should be focused to become a consultant, identify the objectives of each area and lastly setup a high level plan from basic to advanced skills development AND 2) share my thoughts with the community to seek experts’ feedback. This blog addresses all of these scenarios. Faisal Iqbal in Beginner, ERP, Higher Education, SAP Education, University Alliances Message Board [Jun. 20, 2011 07:24 AM | 13 Comments | Permalink]
