My Credentials...	Over 26 years experience in introducing new technologies into organizations, with two of them spent detailing and modeling what happened before and after the change, how the work process itself changed. I work closely with three of the biggest dangers there are: users, senior management, and the technology itself. Often my users are senior management, and the technology represents or embodies strategic change. What sort of background do I have, you ask?
