Hello and welcome to a site that contains a collection of technology oriented, business management
approaches that I've developed over the last two decades of experience.
I am an Information Technology (IT) professional based in Houston, Texas with more than 20 years experience in
the management and architecture of large scale technology solutions for a variety of industries. While I have a
technology background I also have degrees in Economics and Business Administration along with extensive
experience in understanding and optimizing throughput through aspects of an organization's value chain.
I have experience managing projects and staff within several disciplines of IT including Enterprise Architecture,
Network Operations, Software Development and Account Management. In addition, I have extensive experience
managing Profit and Loss, Budgets and defining Strategic objectives to ensure profitable and scalable
organizations.
One of my primary interests is in increasing the throughput between business ideas and successful technology
implementations. I draw upon a range of practical industry approaches such as Lean, Agile and the Unified
Process to accomplish these goals but more importantly I draw upon considerable pragmatic experience. .
I see Information Technology moving into a new phase of its evolution. I believe that the days of having one
common IT organization responsible for supporting business development initiatives AND maintenance and
support of existing systems will move to more responsive and adaptive model. Organizations with IT Operations
organizations managing classic 'feeds and speeds' will increasingly turn to the services provided by outsourced
Data centers for these services. A new Business Technology organization focused on business outcomes
embedded within Business units and overseen by a Chief Business Acceleration Officer with visibility across all
of an organization's value chains. You can read a short article on these ideas on my sponsored blog..
