What I DoI help execs whose high-stakes IT projects are in trouble and need saving. I also help project teams build solid foundations so things don’t go south in the first place. I focus on the mistakes that cause 3/4ths of all IT project failures. Tech teams never fully understand what the business needs to do. Subject Matter Expert’s forget to share business requirements. Tech teams forget to ask necessary questions. Neither confirm their assumptions and both approach projects backwards. They’re not running IT projects! They’re running business projects that happen to be enabled by technology. These mistakes cripple companies, waste huge amounts of time and money, and ruin careers.I’ve spent four decades at the intersection of business and IT. I’ve seen it from all angles (academic, auditor, developer, SI, BA, PM, CIO, COO, and board member). I’ve worked with 600+ companies across the US from startups to the Fortune 50. I’ve had the rare opportunity to recognize patterns most never see.A desire to fix this pattern of mistakes drove me and an incredibly accomplished team of professionals to start Bridging Business & IT. Together we’re capturing and curating the execution best practices of the most successful IT practitioners and sharing them with companies who need them. We’ve discovered a “bridge” that allows business and IT to speak the same language. Using that bridge typically saves clients $150,000 to $2 Million-per project! The bridge hides in plain sight, but few ever see it. This shortcut is a game-changer. We work with:• CXOs, heads of IT & IT PMOs• Businesses with revenues from $50MM to $3B• Project teams facing complex initiatives who don’t have the expertise to handle them alone.Who I Am I’ve been fascinated by computers since I started programming in high school. I’ve been driven to understand human behavior since being forced to confront mental illness in my family at 16. At 19 I became an entrepreneur when I found a way to make $4,000 in 2 days solving a niche problem no one else could address. These three forces have shaped the trajectory of my life. I put myself through college and grad school, blending degrees in psychology, business and systems design. I spent four years at PWC learning how the processes of a business come together and interact. Since then I’ve been drawn to early stage, B2B tech companies. I’ve been lucky to experience the "idea to exit" cycle three times. I believe the economic, societal and human costs of failed IT projects are unacceptable. I’m dedicating the second act to fixing this problem.
