Business Enablement.

If the programs and processes we put in place don’t enable business, then we have failed. I preach customer success to all of my teams no matter where in an organization they sit.

Perspective.

One of the core tenants of any team I put together is understanding three perspectives. If we approach something with only one, then we will leave too much on the table to offer value. We must consider the Business Perspective. What does the business need from this? We must consider the Technology perspective. How and where does technology fit? And we must consider the Information Perspective. What does the information flow look like. These three things are essential to delivering technology services successfully.
