Consulting

I help organizations improve how they plan, develop, manage, and communicate about data management programs and IT resources. My services include:

Pre-proposal research and analysis. What do we need to know to write this proposal?
Proposal development and costing. What work needs to be done and how will we do it?
Communication and messaging. Do we need help with blogging, marketing collateral and website content, presentations, or "white papers"? (See “White Papers & Research Reports” http://www.ddmcd.com/reports)

Market Research & Assessment. How big is the market for our products and services?
Requirements Definition. What kinds of products and services do our customers & business prospects need?
Proposal Development. How do we develop winning technical, cost, and work plan proposals?
Post sale support. How do we manage and grow our business once we have our foot in the door?

Metrics development. How do we measure our progress?
Project planning, resource analysis, and scheduling. Who needs to do what, when, and for how much?
Project and program management. How do we make sure the job gets done?
Project office setup and administration. How do we administer the project?
Business/IT alignment. Do our technology related resources really support our business goals?
Technology portfolio rationalization. Do we need to update our current mix of applications, services, and data resources?
