Today's businesses face unprecedented challenges that are stirred up by rapid global innovation and constant change. In order to stay competitive, companies must be able to adapt quickly in the wake of these chaotic market forces. Acquiring agility and differentiation in this new era involves new strategies -- strategies that are often as disruptive as they are transformational.

The key to success lies in successful execution. Unfortunately, it is all too often inhibited by organizational silos, conflicts of interest, or resistance to change. Failed or incomplete execution dilutes the effectiveness of strategic initiatives and, ultimately, degrades a company's ability to compete. To rise above, a new kind of collaboration is required.

Those executing the strategy must be fully vested in carrying out the vision. Those producing the strategy must be aware of its practical limitations. Both must be in partnership and evolve together through feedback loops and process iterations. Maintaining this balance is difficult, particularly when the stakes are high, but it is critical to success. Sometimes help is necessary.

I specialize in bridging the strategy-execution gap for companies instituting major technology change, particularly in the areas of systems integration (SOA), cloud computing, process optimization (BPM), and web-based applications.  I operate across organizational boundaries -- communicating, facilitating, coaching, training, architecting, developing, engineering, documenting, troubleshooting, managing, and more -- to ensure strategy and execution are always in lock step.
