About

Tags: @ 2:16 pm |

I am an IT and business consultant with 21 years experience across several disciplines. I am based in Perth, Western Australia. Since July 2006, I have spent a lot of time working with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, as well as practicing the craft of Issue and Dialogue Mapping, but my background covers many other disciplines, platforms and technologies.

Unlike most other products and platforms that I have worked on over the years, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is a product that really draws together literally everything I have done over my career. I hope that you find my blog of interest. It is SharePoint centric, but my aim is to write about all of the competencies below with the view of leveraging SharePoint in some way.
