The primary thread that ran through all of the projects that I have participated in concerns my ability to breakdown complex problems into manageable components and create action plans to solve those problems. Projects have ranged from the complete overhaul of the systems and work flow used for shipping and receiving, inventory and control, manufacturing and financial accounting at a consumer product company to the development of complex websites with integrated analytics and internet marketing strategies. The key is to work with stakeholders to identify measurable goals, assess the technical challenges and create a statement of work that the client understands and buys into. Execution of the plan requires well documented process flows, the proper manpower and skill sets, and repeatable processes based on standardized systems, equipment and tool sets.
