Innovation doesn’t come with a user’s manual. 

It is an iterative process that is messy, uncertain, and frustrating - even on a good day.  

Innovative pioneers like scientists, entrepreneurs and engineers take on a multitude of risks and responsibilities while navigating the path of technology development.

While results are necessary, the need to produce them can be overwhelming and cause premature failure of people and projects.

There is specialized support available for the technology development process. It is interdisciplinary technical support coupled with team and project facilitation. Grounded in a stakeholder mindset, it provides stability and direction for people and processes, and brings the flow and ease needed to move technology from development to delivery.

I offer leadership and advanced technical support in three main areas:

• Technology Development - Design and creation of custom equipment for you and with you.

• Technology Implementation - Creating stability and direction that brings ideas to life through actionable steps, education, planning and logistics.

• Process Review and Development - Identifying opportunities to create flow and ease within your day-to-day processes and operations.

This may look like:

• Navigating known and unknown challenges experienced by people and processes;

• Minimizing risk and responsibility to investments, people and technology;

• Translating and communicating technical information across stakeholders;

• Creating actionable steps that put words and ideas into motion;

• Deep dives and data reviews to identify overlooked informational and relational subtleties;

• Troubleshooting to identify root causality;

• Identifying availability, performance, and quality opportunities;

• Developing specialized tools, frameworks, skills and processes.
