My Management Style.
My Focus: I focus on 3 Pillars: People, Processes, and Technology. I do not follow 1 methodology but rather a stack of methodologies.
My Resume: My resume indicates a management style that is strategic, results-oriented, and adaptable, with an emphasis on integrating people, processes, and technology to achieve organizational goals & objectives to drive transformation.
Summary: My management style is characterized by a strong ability to lead diverse teams, implement structured processes for efficiency and risk mitigation (influenced by PRINCE2, ITIL, CMMI, KM, & PMP), and strategically leverage architectural frameworks (like DoDAF) to achieve robust security, compliance, and organizational resilience. You are a transformative leader who consistently seeks to optimize and innovate across all three pillars of people, processes, and technology.
Certified In (the "Stack"): (6)
PRINCE2 (Projects In a Controlled Environment v2.0): Like a PMP. An agile style of management
DODAF (Department of Defense Architectural Framework): Structured/Framework-style, where everyone can speak the same language using artifacts.
ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library): IT Service Management (ITSM) Style, Continuous Service Improvement (CSI), to meet Service Value.
CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration): A process to meet optimal maturity levels.
KMCP (Knowledge Management Certified Professional): Collaboration and Efficiency-style.
PMP (Training): Initiate, Plan, Execute, Monitor, Control, and Close.
