I help managers and organizations:
- Better manage technical projects
Most managers have less technical experience than their younger staff. This can lead to significant roadblocks and difficulties for accountability, SMART goal setting, and positive outcomes. I help managers get the information they need to lead their technical teams with clear outcomes and accountability.
- Execute more effectively
Most organizations have no idea how many open projects and commitments they have. They love ideas and creativity but have no idea what to do with the deluge of actions and communication required to move forward. The result is a culture that serves the most urgent while neglecting the most important. I help managers understand their commitments and put systems in place to manage and keep these commitments as well as measure the effectiveness of their teams.
- Benefit from industry leading and affordable tools
Most organizations have a variety of ad-hoc, home grown, or cheap tools they are using to make progress. These are insufficient as their power is realized by their use in common with the rest of the team. I have used thousands of software applications related to productivity and management. I have chosen to specialize in three that will improve the situation in all organizations and are flexible enough for the most specialized company.
- Salesforce.com for managing relationships and related information.
- Basecamp for managing projects and commitments in operations.
- Quickbooks for managing finance and accounting. Additionally, it syncs with Salesforce.com for added value.
- PrePaid Legal insurance for managing legal matters and agreements.
