| Summary: | he early explorers would travel the globe looking for treasures. While they searched, they would stumble across products such as like tea, pasta, and cocoa, and bring them back to Europe (the old world). I have worked with organizations around the world and in my work I too have stumbled upon ideas and practices which I want to share. I have consulted and presented papers on every continent on Earth (with the exception of Antarctica). I have advised organizations with IT budgets in excess of a billion dollars and those with only a few employees. I have worked for government agencies, companies that make dog food, organizations that launch rockets and every company in between. The bottom line, I have worked with every type of organization that relies on software. There is a Johnny Cash song I relate to where he sings, “I’ve been everywhere, man ” and he lists a series of towns, countries and places he has been. I have over 2 million frequent flyer miles and this equates to 80 times around the earth. There have been a few times I think I passed myself in an airport. |
