Project Philosophy
I am a strong believer that so many of today's solutions fail not because of poor teams or lack of experience, but rather because they fail to recognize who the solution is intended for. There is a great deal of emphasis in the market on Functional, Technical and Business requirements but very little focus on intangible requirements such as being intuitive. This has resulted in a high failure rate of projects where solutions providers fall back on excuses of "training issues" when in reality it is more likely a design issue and a poor solution. I believe that a well built solution:
- Is highly intuitive. Your staff and target market know their jobs and solutions enhance, not hinder that.
- Puts to rest the myth of "training issues". Expert Business Analysts and designers do not accept this assumption.
- Meets every business requirement and is driven by business.
- Is never driven by what's cool or trendy simply because it is cool or trendy.
- Provides immediate, measurable enhancements
- Should enhance the abilities and work-place enjoyment of those using the solution.
I am highly passionate about building solutions that match the needs of both the business and the people using it. I believe in elegant, simple solutions that see high success rates. I excel in overcoming design issues and delivering expert solutions. I can help your projects not only succeed, but exceed.
