Ten Consultants in SMBs tell us about their careers and their everyday life at work- an entertaining and imaginative book, which also describes the state of the IT- department of small and medium sized businesses.
This portrait of the current economic world is very hopeful, since the narrating Consultants are equally smart and tireless. The Consultants, who are all woriking for itelligence AG Bielefeld, are destinguishable by two character traits : they are stubborn and solution oriented. All those accounts are marked with pleasurable immediacy and fun at practice: a councelor, who is awaiting a coustumer’s call from India, twelve hours away from his timezone, has his air mattres next to his desk, inflated of course, a former tournament swimmer draws parallels to the live of an councelor, or a another how is telling his customer right away: »Who wants to pay with bananas, will only get a monkey«.
Finally, says Raimund Mollenhauer, Head of Talent Net and Enablement for SAP Partner, are the people, who help the SMBs companies to achieve their best performance, in the foreground and not the IT or the software. On a closer look those personalities, who believe in the same as the customer and can realise it: more insights, a higher efficency, more evectivness, more flexebility and actionablity and more success. They are the true heros and finally they have stept out of secracy. Young talents, looking for rolemodels, to guide their way into a professional carrer filled with suspense and action, will profit from the stories. For the people responsible for the staff, they give more than any job describtion can offer, personalised role models. Those heroic deeds will wake many »old stagers« from their »sleep of hundred years« and invite them to be where the true heros are in times of crisis- in the SMBs world.
It is about smart human networks, about challenges and live models beyond the never changing and the average- or like one of the ten Trouble-Shooters puts it: he wanted out, see the world. Nothing bored him as much as the dayly routine ...
The volume is published bilingual in german-english and contains a funny illustration for every unusual story and situation narrated in this volume.

In this book 20 Consultants in SMBs from 17 countries tell of their carerer and their everyday life at work. Entertaining and imaginative this book deals with the delicate issues of being intercaltural as well with the current state of the IT-industry of the world of SMBs.
How does one represent a product in bilingual Canada, which is oriented on the american market, but culturally very european? How does one found an establishment for a company between the nine national languages of Malaysia? How does one succeed on the american market with the concepts of products »made in Germany«? What is to cosider concerning international condact of negociations in China? How does one concult an arabian royal family concerning the building of one of the most modern universitys in the middle of a desert?
It deals with clever human networks, with ways of life and carreers beyond the known. Here consultants and traders speak about dealing with different cultures. In this respect this collection of anecdotes is an respectable compedium and educational book about interculturality.
Some highlight like the first time narration of Hans Schrader , co-founder of SAP, about the internationalisation of SAP or the vision of the CEO of NTT Data, the biggest japanese IT- Consulting company, of a not only global but intercultural company.
Hans Königes of Computerwoche (Computerweek magazine) about the book:
»Counselors always have something interesting to tell, they are always on the run and are in contact with many different people. It can get very exciting- to be read in this book - if councelors and customers are from different cultures, when different mentalities and cultures clash. Actually we should know by now how to get around the global village, but we are still surprised about the many facets of live, there is still enough to learn and wonde. - One is drawn into each narration and can not put the book down, until one knows the ending.«
The volume is published in a bilingual edition german-english. The first volume »Helden für den Mittelstand» (Business Heros in SMBs) has been translated into japanese – this new volume should go round the globe and find interest all around the globe!
