Brief our audience about your journey as a business leader until your current position at Projectivity Solutions. What challenges have you had to overcome to reach where you are today?
After leaving the US Army in 1984, I became a strategic systems consultant for an international pharmaceutical company and later became the manager of manufacturing systems until starting Projectivity Solutions, Inc.
Projectivity Solutions, formed in 1990, served California Bay Area technology companies providing project management solutions that evolved into program management consulting and training. Fortune 500 companies formed the client core until 2004 when the focus became small companies with less than 500 employees. Today, clients are located in the USA, Europe, and India.
During this timeframe, the service offering evolved to include strategic planning, business process improvement, leadership development, and organizational culture. The challenges along the way have been creating a cohesive service offering during COVID.
The difficulty caused by COVID was the closing of all in-person client engagements; however, advancement within telecommunications technology allowed client engagements to continue and opened new opportunities in Europe and Asia. The Projectivity Solutions service offerings have been enhanced and integrated, offering clients multiple points of engagement depending on their needs and maturity level.
