The Japanese word kaizen translates to “good change.” I work hard to engage, scrutinize, hold accountable—and make better.

Precise, detail-oriented and conscientious—I take great pride in being accurate and correct and especially excel in specialized or technical tasks due to my attention to detail.

An instinctive organizer, who can both create and maintain systems. I am a "do it yourself" manager who maintains focus on tasks and will see something through until it's finished.

I have very high standards for both myself and others. I bring perspective to groups and tend to be the 'anchor of reality'  in team thought. When something is proposed, I will think through every detail of how it works and the process.

Food 4 Thought

"No organization can afford to stand still in today’s warp-speed world. And all that change? It’s happening through projects."—Pulse of the Profession, PMI, February 2020

A project’s success is measured by product & project quality, timeliness, budget compliance, and degree of customer & stakeholders’ satisfaction. Noteworthy too is that practitioners and scholars have determined that project success should also be measured with consideration toward achievement of the project objectives.

"The ultimate purpose of project management is to create a continuous stream of project successes. This can happen provided that you have a good definition of "success" on each project." — Harold Kerzner, Ph.D.

Project management practitioners are tasked with identifying the right delivery (aka development) approach, to get the job done, and deliver value. For projects with multiple deliverables—it’s entirely possible that you might use different development approaches for different deliverables.

Development Approach? A method used to create and evolve the product, service, or result during the project life cycle, such as a predictive (plan-driven/waterfall), iterative, incremental, adaptive (agile/evolutionary), or hybrid method.

"Innovation is not a slogan, or a cliché; it’s a way of working. It’s an attitude of enthusiasm and curiosity. It’s about observing what we currently do and wondering how it can be done better."—Ed Bernacki
