★★★ I help CEOs, Principals and Board of Directors for AEC firms, feel confident their technology strategy is driving business, profits and is cost effective by focusing people, relationships and quantitative result metrics.My focus is helping companies leverage technology to grow their business and improve culture, lets dig into that and you may be surprised at my approach to IT Leadership.► I disagree when I hear, "IT needs to be aligned with the business". To say IT needs to be aligned suggests it's separate and can work independently. You never hear "Accounting or Marketing needs to be aligned with the business" It would sound insane. Technology underlines the fabric of almost business unit in every organization today and should not be seen as separate. ► This means, there are no IT Projects, only business projects that leverage technology to accomplish the goal.► Beyond technology, IT needs to have an understanding of your industry, your business, how it functions, how it's marketed, who your customers are. They need to build trust with non-technical stakeholders by leaving the tech jargon out of the board room and speaking the language of business. If you would like to work with me or talk deeper on how a people approach to your tech strategy can transform your business culture and improve the bottom line, please contact me at ✉ ccantrell06(at)gmail.com.⋘Key Specialties:⋙Technology Budgets, Capital Budgets, Risk Management, Asset Management, Disaster Recovery, Records Compliance, License Compliance, Team Building, Digital Transformation, CIO services, Training, Hybrid Cloud Environments, SaaS, DRaaS, Digital Security, CRM, Sales Funnels, Digital Marketing, IT Strategy, IT Consultant, Vendor Relations.
