Why Do We Design?
How well designed for growth are the systems that support your production, your learning, and your expertise-sharing?
Grow or Die?
In the corporate race, we either grow or we die. Business development is Job #1.
How do I help businesses win work?
How do I help grow your business and improve your margins? How do I help you Differentiate from your competition?
I ensure that you're good at your "Bigs" today - and help get you ready for tomorrow.
Fix Your Bigs - your most important asset is your people, right? But not the head count, the Head Content! How connected are your "specialty" experts across all of your locations? Are you making it very easy for them to collaborate and synergize, to share their leadership to your organization and to your potential clients. Fully leveraging your collective expertise is a surprinsgly easy lift. A well-planned Push, Pull, and Peer-to-Peer communications and learning strategy can be your biggest Mega-Multiplier.
Prepare for the Future - What technology will be a standard tomorrow? BIM --> Digital Delivery. Do you know that you can very easily streamline your workflows using built-in BIM extensions (Item Types in Bentley, Property Sets in AutoDesk)? Do you know that you can get positive ROI essentially instantaneously? Embrace this broadly now and you will lead in tomorrow's BIM-mandatory industry.
Deliver Better - It is impossible to consistently please clients throughout this BIM/Digital industry revolution without a thorough understanding of an increasing complex design and delivery platform. Project requirements are increasingly fat and their margins consistently lean. Software and Workflow Training is the variable with flexibility in this equation.
Leaner training, effectively shared, drives quality your current and future clients expect and supports healthy project margins.

Prepare for the Future
We're at an exciting time in the industry - the biggest revolution since dropping the pencils: Digital Delivery at the DOT level. Integratability as a requirement. Here's the secret: the technology that makes integration possible, Item Types (or Property Sets in the Autodesk ecosystem), can improve your quality and save you money right now. As in, the project you're currently working on now. Item Types and View Display Rules are the technologies that unleash - and tame! - the power of The Big Data Age we're in. Lead now or be left behind.
For BIM-ready Drainage and Utilities you have two platforms: OpenRoads Drainage and InfoDrainage. These are really heavy platforms = high risks in implementation. You WILL want an implementation plan to adopt these beasts. Get help; "winging it" is ruinous.
Stay Lean - But Level Up
Our modern design and delivery platforms are really fat. Training is fat. Projects are lean. How do we resolve this?
First of all, make use of Learning.Bentley.com. It's the standard. It's modular, AND you are likely already paying for it.
Second: find or build lean alternatives or gap-fillers (there are a lot of gaps).
Third: effectively share your customs or "leans" with your full user base.
I can help with all three of these.
