    Perfumed Steamroller – A Journey into the World of Technology

    by Christine McNamara

    ‘When you do what you are passionate about long enough you discover there is a science to it!’

    For some people, technology is a necessary evil – for others, it’s something they can’t imagine living without. For Christine McNamara – a ground-breaking businesswoman and technical expert – it has led to a dynamic and rewarding career in the Information Technology industry.

    Christine’s journey into the world of technology began in 1986, when the new generation of mini computers was considered to be cutting edge technology. Armed with a degree in Computing and Management Information Systems and on-the-job training, Christine went on to forge a successful career in a man’s world over the next thirty years: first as an employee, then as a contractor and, more recently, as a business owner and software developer for the Service Integration and Management industry.

    Christine has also created downloadable products ‘Major Incident Management Simulation Game’ and ‘Position Description Template’ that are available for purchase from the Book Store.

    In Perfumed Steamroller, Christine shares her experiences, insights and the lessons she has learned along the way so that others may also benefit. Told in a conversational style, this is a thought-provoking book for anyone who wants to succeed in business in any industry.

    WHAT PEOPLE SAY

    Fiona, Australia

    A book that should be on the shelf of all Team Managers

    “On commencement of reading this book, I thought that it wasn’t for me as initially the process was all framed within the IT industry. However, my opinion changed quickly as it became apparent that the book was all about managing people, particularly teams of people framed within the context of the IT Industry. 

    As the style of writing is ‘spoken text’ it is as though Christine is talking to you personally. As a reader from outside the IT Industry I can state this book is crammed with learnings and a process framework for any Manager of People from frontline, through middle management to senior managers. I even found IT specific examples were easily transferable to other industries.

    This was a truly valuable read and I believe on second reading I will take away even more. This is a book that should be on the shelf of all Team Managers.”
