I have worked with teams most of my life and have built the departments I managed from the ground up in every job I accepted. A large part of my life was in marketing and customer service development, most of it in the information technology sector. In later years, I took on more and more management responsibilities managing and developing assets, people, processes, systems, programs, projects and
enterprises. Throughout my career, I have organized and facilitated conferences, workshops, exhibits, and public relations campaigns. I have managed events and products for multinational corporations like Suzuki Motors, Siemens Nixdorf, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Intel, 3Com, etc. I take pride in my involvement in development work and in many occasions have volunteered in programs developing industries or localities. In many of my engagements, I have taken responsibilities for the induction of people, creation and development of teams, design and deployment of leadership programs, facilitating strategic planning, and rally support for many advocacy. The articles I have written and published online range from themes on development work, customer service, business development, and leadership. I have written articles, concept papers, case studies and white papers to support customer service or develop training materials. Most of these papers were developed from notes I have kept after each project and from post-project reports I prepared. Case studies and articles are usually developed using materials and experience from actual projects or engagements. The documentation of projects and the papers I have written collectively provided me a natural resource for developing competence programs and workshop materials. A considerable amount of my time during summer is spent providing free assistance and training to beneficiaries of programs supporting the national development agenda. I hope to be just doing development work and writing.
