Speaking

Going back to my grad school days as a teaching assistant, I have been speaking in public forums for over twelve years. After graduation, I started teaching technology classes both as a client and a consultant. These days, I speak about topics related to technology, organizations, people, and processes.

Examples of specific topics on which I speak include:

• What is Enterprise 2.0?
• The Next Wave of Technologies
• Are we ready? Determining if an organization is ready for a new system
• Business processes and new enterprise systems
• How your organization can maximize the new system’s chance of success
• How to select a new enterprise system
• Implementation strategies and phases
• Intelligent system expansion
• Mid-implementation corrective mechanisms
• Ongoing system maintenance: What to do now that we’re live?
• Reports and interfaces 101
• Selecting implementation partners
• Setup and testing issues during an implementation
• Supporting your new system
• System challenges in a recession
• System optimization: How do we do more with less?
• What kind of system? The make, buy, or rent decision

I also present detailed case studies illustrating many of the principles from my first book. View samples of me in action by clicking here. More are coming in better quality, I promise. Really.
