About
ADapT is the culmination of my nearly forty years of industry experience as an IT executive, trainer, coach and consultant, helping organizations leverage technology to improve.
I spent the last ten years focusing on how organizations must transform themselves to survive and thrive in a digital age.
The start of the journey was initially technology-focused, but ADapT quickly evolved to include an organizational and strategic view, a focus on the customer, how the organization serves customer needs, and how the organization can turn ideas into winning products and services that target specific customer needs effectively and profitably.
The ideas behind ADapT are based on contemporary management literature; Lean and Agile thinking take center stage.
Concepts from design thinking, jobs-to-be done, business model design, product design, marketing and problem-solving techniques are also evident throughout ADapT.
A multinational team of talented experts with diverse skills started contributing, critiquing and testing ADapT concepts and ideas.
“It is no use doing your best. You must first know what to do and how to do it, and then do your best!” William Edwards Deming
