My name is Kathleen Bennie I am a driven and disciplined professional with strong business acumen and an extensive IT background deeply rooted in IT Project Management, ERP/CRM/Hardware Implementations, Business and Data Analysis, Software Administration, Sales Automation, Report Writing, Technical Support, Technical Writing, MS Dynamic CRM and Training. I have managed many successful software/ hardware initiatives and I am very comfortable managing every aspect of an implementation.
My most recent role found me focused on the implementation of online MS Dynamics CRM systems tailored to the customer need. This included project management, business analysis, training and configuration.
During my tenure with RSM US I participated in multiple MS Dynamics CRM projects primarily in the capacity of Project Manager, Business Analyst and Trainer. Other roles I fulfilled included Internal/External Resource Manager, Technical Support, Customizer, Basic Workflow Developer, SME and Report Writer.
I am very comfortable in both face to face and remote requirements gathering with C-Level Managers as well as all levels of an organization. I have served as liaison between technology and the end user.
From a training perspective in my position with AmeriGas Propane I was responsible for everything from methodology to collateral. I truly understand that the key to any successful implementation is user adoption and to that end I developed a training methodology pairing traditional function-based education with a “customer acquisition” touch approach. With ease of adoption in mind I created an Intranet site which housed simulated training as well as an extensive library of CRM collateral. I conducted both internal and external on and off site training and ran quarterly web based continuous education sessions. Communication included monthly C-Level Status Reporting as well as e-newsletters to users detailing system enhancements, training tips and upcoming CRM releases/ training events.
I take great delight in pleasing my customer and am committed to personal excellence! I have a proven track record of building solid relationships with my business partners and motivating technical professionals to deliver quality results on time and on budget. I look forward to discussing this opportunity further!
Regards,
Kathleen A Bennie
