| Introduction | I’ve published three books on IT services, including “The IT Consultant”, an Amazon best seller and textbook used by Villanova, the University of California and other schools. I train, coach and mentor IT professionals in consulting skills, like communication, facilitation, and negotiation. I help talented technicians enhance their skills and make the leap from Subject Matter Expert to Business Advisor. My clients are corporate IT teams, IT service providers, and technology consulting firms, and include Microsoft, Intel, HP, U.S. Dep't of Treasury, and the People's Republic of China. |
| Interests | I believe that IT consulting is a profession, like a doctor, lawyer or teacher, requiring a foundation set of skills that go beyond technical expertise. Consultants are advisors, and client's careers and businesses can depend upon their advice. We need more than technology; we need relationship skills that prepare us to understand, commit, and deliver to client's expectations. |
