The art of mentoring a Microsoft Dynamics technical expert, and why the D365FO community needs you

September 24 2018

There is a wonderful opportunity associated with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 product line. There is a shortage of resources and almost an unlimited set of opportunities. I believe one way to solve this problem is to invest in developing new resources.

Early in 2017, I was named as a Microsoft MVP. For those that are not familiar with the award, it is based on factors including our contributions to the community and our perceived technical abilities.  I intend to use this honor to help develop young people into Microsoft technical professionals.

Sir, thanks for posting your thoughts on this subject. I did a google search and cannot locate your MVP mentorship program. I too am developing an internal training program for newbies. Mine is geared toward my company's culture, clients and processes but I would love to collaborate if there is an opportunity.

The program is relatively new and as such my concern is over committing our ability to serve the community. We are looking for help in mentoring and system resources. We believe we can can grow the project by successfully delivering 10 to 20 qualified consultants by the end of last quarter 2018. Anyone interested in the program can contact me at donriggs@busproc.com. Let's figure out how best to scale this into a world wide project!
