Career Conversation: Mastering Tech Consulting Through Specialisation

  • June 6, 2025
  • Career Conversation

At GoCrackIt, we support professionals in sharpening their skills to thrive in fields like tech consulting. In this career conversation, our mentor, Navaneeth K.P., guides a student already in tech consulting who wants to stand out. With  a few years in the industry, she seeks to deepen her expertise. Navaneeth, an expert career transition coach, provides actionable steps to specialise and build credibility, perfect for anyone navigating a career transition.

Here’s the abstracted version of the exchange:

Student: I’ve been working in a tech implementation role for about two and a half years, managing projects, and I’m currently a scrum master. I’m thinking about focusing on a specialisation. What skills should I consider developing? 

Navaneeth: That’s a great direction! Specialising can really set you apart in the field. I recommend looking into cloud ERP systems, like Oracle Fusion. Learning to do fit-gap analyses for clients can be a valuable skill that’s in high demand right now. 

Student: But I’m not exactly a tech expert. How can I gain credibility in this area without diving into coding? 

Navaneeth: You definitely don’t need to know how to code. What’s important is understanding how technology can benefit businesses. For example, if you can explain the ROI or NPV of cloud adoption, that’s something clients will really appreciate. 

Student: That sounds doable! Are there specific certifications I should target? 

Navaneeth: Absolutely! Pursuing certifications in Oracle Fusion or business analysis will definitely bolster your resume. And don’t forget to highlight your scrum master certification—it’s proof of your ability to thrive in agile environments. 

Student: I’m still getting the hang of sprint planning, but I’ve set up Azure DevOps and run scrum calls. How should I present that experience? 

Navaneeth: You can say that you’re capable of conducting fit-gap analysis for Oracle Fusion ERP and managing agile workflows with Azure DevOps. Plus, mention your experience in gathering and documenting business requirements; that aligns perfectly with a business analyst role. 

Student: Are there any other tips for making myself stand out? 

Navaneeth: Definitely! Think about becoming a thought leader in your field. Writing an article or giving a presentation on cloud adoption tailored to Indian firms could really showcase your strategic thinking and insight into technology. 

Student: I think I can manage that. I already have a good grasp of the business benefits of cloud computing. 

Navaneeth: That’s excellent! Try developing a business case for cloud adoption, complete with ROI analysis. You might find inspiration in ‘Business at the Speed of Thought’ by Bill Gates. You’re on the right track to building a strong profile!

Specialising for Success

Navaneeth’s guidance highlights how coaching for career transition drives expertise. Specialising in cloud ERP, earning certifications, and establishing thought leadership elevate the student from a generalist to a standout professional. These steps build credibility and ensure long-term success in tech consulting.
