"You're only as successful as your last customer thinks you are..."
What does your organization look for in a project management leader? A 'yes' man? Do you want someone who will listen to you and do exactly what you ask them to do? Hopefully not. My clients are intelligent and experienced, but they don't always know exactly what they need. They often don't even know for sure exactly what they want - though they may think that they do.
That might be the case for you as well.
If you decide to seek out my services, what you will get is an experienced professional who is more interested in actually understanding your true needs, how you got to where you are now, and what will satisfy you in the end.
It's not about 'phoning it in' on a project. It's not always about getting it done in 'x' amount of time, either. But it IS always about customer satisfaction. It's about giving you - the customer - something you can live with and be happy with and that your end users can actually use.
