Charlie Plesums has been a very popular speaker - having given hundreds of talks to many thousands of people, in a total of 14 countries. For several years, he averaged 75 talks per year. As he returned to full-time consulting, he focused exclusively on his work with CSC, and "dropped out" of the general speaking activity. He is available as a technical expert and speaker through CSC, but he missed the opportunity to combine vendor-independent information and entertainment, as he had in the past. Therefore he was recently authorized by CSC to also provide talks as an individual.
If you are looking for ongoing professional services for image, work management, customer relationship management, e-commerce, or records management, CSC would be glad to provide those services, and might include Charlie Plesums as part of the CSC team. CSC's services would likely include consulting, design, integration, and/or implementation services, as well as the associated training and tutorials. These services are provided from numerous areas of CSC; Charlie works within CSC Financial Services Group, in a department called "Business Transformation Services." Although the focus is often on e-commerce and other technologies that cause organizational change in insurance, banking, and other financial organizations, his group is not limited to specific customers.
On the other hand, if you are only interested in a "one-time" tutorial or a keynote presentation, you may contract directly with Charlie Plesums to travel to wherever you are located to present a vendor-independent program customized to your needs. Some typical programs include
Luncheon speaker, with light-hearted discussion of the smart use of various technologies
E-mail can kill you (and other records management issues)
The emerging records requirements for e-commerce
Image and work management - recommended as 2-3 hour program for all parties, often in conjunction with
How to mess up your image project - 1 to 3 hours
Introduction to work management - 1 to 1 1/2 hours
How to mess up your work management project - 1 to 2 hours
Charlie's fee is based on the time for preparation or customization of the presentation, as well as time on site, and travel time and expenses. A reduced fee is available to businesses that sponsor a presentation for a non-profit group, such as an AIIM chapters or DPMA programs. (This offer is based, in part, on the exposure to a diverse audience that might become future customers of either CSC or Plesums, so be sure to estimate the size and diversity of the audience!)
