Typical Problems I Help Solve
“I need to start development now on a new product. I don’t have my team yet!”
“I need to translate between tech and business—how do we convey value?”
“We are missing product deadlines and quality isn’t improving”
“How do I differentiate our product? Are we adding enough value?”
“Implementations are rocky. Services blames Dev. Dev blames Services”
“It seems like we’re just reacting to customers—not driving innovation.”
“Do I have the right team for success? I’m unsure of one of our leaders”
“Our R&D/Services spend is too high. How do we overcome tech debt?”
“Our organization can’t delivering on our strategic initiatives fast enough.”
