Isn't improving performance and productivity to increase profits the goal of every company?
The foundational elements of that goal are dependent on your IT professionals and their understanding of cutting-edge security issues and project management. Not just from the top, but from everyone in the organization.
Some of our clients have one or more of these issues before the review:
- They wear many hats and IT is only one of those hats.
- They were "put in charge" of IT in addition to other jobs, without any formal IT training.
- They must manage multiple priorities, but haven't had project management training.
- They have advanced knowledge of technology, but lack an understanding of the latest security issues.
- They are perceived by others to lack effective communication skills.
- They have a high turnover rate.
- They suffer from higher levels of job burnout and stress.
- There seems to be more inter-office conflict and "drama."
- They feel misunderstood by management and their colleagues.
- They may feel the relationship with executive management is uncooperative.
- They may work many overtime hours and wish they could be home with their family more.
If these problems aren't addressed and "best practices" immediately put in place, productivity, performance, and the mental well-being of everyone at your organization can be adversely affected.
For over 20 years, I've worked with hundreds of organizations where technology is central to business success. I've consulted with more top CEOs and IT professionals than I can count. In addition to giving more than 1,000 presentations on utilizing technology and improving IT performance, my work has been featured in USA Today, Forbes Magazine, Kiplinger Letter, Entrepreneur Magazine, Insight Magazine, Atlanta Business Monthly and many others.
Through these experiences, I've developed technical expertise, business acumen and unique insights into the most effective methods to transform your IT department with proven "best practices" that ensure maximum security protocols, clear communication, enhanced productivity and tangible results.
"I feel much better having
had you review our systems. You handled the delicate
interaction with the technical folks very well, getting
through your message without offending. I think
your report and review process have been very useful. Thanks
for your council and we will surely be in touch again."
~ Scott, CEO
"The entire experience of working with you turned out much better than the experience I'd had with previous providers, thanks in large part to your thorough understanding of our business. The fact that you already knew what we did and how our operations worked made all the difference. You met and surpassed all of my expectations."
~ Ken, Chairman, Totowa, NJ
"Mike was very thorough with his questions and comments. It was so important that our management team understood each of his valuable recommendations. The entire experience really did meet my expectations--even a little more. It was great to have an outside 'pair of eyes' to look at our systems and offer honest, unbiased opinions and suggestions for improvement. Mike got our IT team excited again!"
~ Norm, Director of IT, Milwaukee, WI
"He did an amazing job for us in a short amount of time. Mike showed us a new perspective and got us thinking of solutions in ways we hadn't thought of before. His detailed security audit was amazing and his response time to our needs was excellent. Mike exceeded just about all of our expectations! Working with Mike was a terrific experience, and he helped us a lot."
~ Jason, Director of IT, Atlanta, GA
"The session was very informative, and Mike helped us see where we wanted to go. His response time to meet our needs and answer our questions was great. Overall Mike's advice and knowledge exceeded my expectations. Mike was very informed about us and our industry, and was able to clearly and effectively explain the issues we faced to our executive management."
~ Jordan, IT Manager, Elk Grove Village, IL
