10 ways to make yourself an organisational asset

by biscuitinabasket on March 6, 2010

Once upon a time long long ago, in 2004, I graduated from university with a degree in Computer Science. Now this was a very generic degree, and I wasn’t quite sure where I would be going from there. It is at that point that I sat down and made my first 5 year career plan. My career plan was a basic set of incremental steps of learning and gaining experience doing what I enjoy.

Looking back at the last 5 years, I can see a difference between who I was then and who I am now. My job is something what I enjoy doing, and I work with generally decent people. However, regardless of what your job is – whether you are self employed or work for an organisation, it is very important to stand out within the structure that you work in. One doesnt have to be the star of the show, but I believe that each person should have that little something else which makes you stand above the rest and turn you into someone priceless.

So, to mark the end of the first 5 year plan, I will present to you what I have learnt in my young career; I will present to you my top 10 ways on how to make yourself an organisational asset. This series of posts is an open forum, and I invite you to join in and contribute in the form of comments or actually writing posts for this blog. If you want to write something for this series, put your post together in a word document or an email and send it to me on biscuitinabasket[at]googlemail[dot]com.

I will use this post as a starting point, and the 10 (or more) posts will all be listed here by the end of the series. I also have 3 guest bloggers lined up already, so look forward to their posts too! The first post in this series goes out on Sunday! Watch out for this, and join in and looking forward to your contributions via comments or blog posts!
