I don't want to mislead you - I've learned a great deal of good information from Graeme's Tutorial - more than just how to make a great paper airplane.

Some key points:

Managers don't want to hear prophets of doom.
Managers don't want to hear about infrastructure because infrastructure implies ongoing capitol costs.
Failing to ask for help is a deadly sin for consultants
Managers want loyal teams
Managers want professional advice (expressed in an unbiased manner).

There were many other great things I'm taking away from the his presentation. But you'll have to attend your local DAMA chapter meeting to hear the details.
