Development, Delivery and Management

We provide commercial, adult education on industry-leading innovations, methodologies and technologies. Our training goal is to equip students with insightful self-sufficiency to answer new questions as they arise.

Hands-on and conceptual training work together to build that insight and establish confidence. Measurable goals provide an objective standard of success. Value is maintained by basing those goals on the requirements for business success.

My major training roles have progressed through increasing technical and management responsibilities in GE, Burroughs, Digital and consulting.

General Electric, Computer Department, Central Region.
Lead trainer on three computer architectures, database models, and systems configuration.

Burroughs Corporation, Large Systems Training.
Led the development and delivery of corporate-wide customer and staff technical training on this unique Algol-based architeture.

Digital Equipment Corp., Continuing Product Training
Led the development and delivery team for semi-annual training road shows that were also translated for countries around the world.

Consulting and Conceptual Training:

• Teaching effective project management using Lean/Agile/Scrum methodology with a focus on:
  • Maintaining credibility between the management and development teams
  • Clarity of requirements, expectations and commitments--and their contexts
  • Adaptability and maintainability of systems with changing requirements
  • Uniquely supporting the 'discovery' process
• Teaching practical principles of thinking effectively, understanding premises, choosing premises, and avoiding fallacies. This expands the methods of science into new realms for distinguishing fact from fiction and for identifying one's errors.
• Training effective trainers
• Usability testing and training for design and QA
• Use-Case analysis training for requirements discovery
• Data and Object Modeling training
• Introduced a new programming language that cuts through the current "Tower of Babble" in J2EE, .NET, and W3C technologies. It provides a single, consistent, XML-based syntax, semantics, and object model to cover that entire functional scope.
• Introduced a new paradigm for modeling formerly intractably complex systems. This provides computation and communication for collaboration among subdomain experts. As each subdomain expert makes changes, the consequences are propagated throughout the full system for all others to see in their own terms.
