Your help to shape my roadmap

Throughout our careers, we develop skills in order to get better at what we do, and to provide better value for the colleagues we work with. Learning on the job is the best way to hone our craft, but trial and error can be expensive and slow. That's why I've always tried to accelerate my learning by complementing "on the job" with guidance in the form of mentorship, coaching and training.

But many is the time I have been unable to find the right support - skills development that was targeted at the challenges I had in front of me right there and then. Timely, practical tools, instruction and guidance that could have saved me and my teams many costly hours of trial and error. That's high value, worth a fortune to the businesses we served.

I'm not talking about classrooms where we follow a rote syllabus, or reading the latest business books, educational as that occasionally was. I'm talking about step by step guidance through specific best practices to develop skills that we could apply to our immediate challenges and solve real problems. A way to address topical assignments unlike anything we had experienced before.

My Contribution

So I have set out to contribute to the solution.

For the last 20 years, I've used the term Business Technologist to capture the blend of business, people and tech skills required to maximize the potential for technology to fuel business growth. I'm extremely proud to announce that 2017 will be the year I launch my Technology Leadership Roadmap, an online Coaching program to help develop hundreds, maybe thousands, of better Business Technologists. The program will:

• Be self paced
• Combine online training with feedback and coaching
• Use your specific business challenges as case studies
• Be immediately applicable to the challenges you are facing

I'm very excited because I'm certain this will address a long standing need and offer great value to businesses and individuals alike. It will provide the kind of support that I wish I had throughout the course of my career.

And helping people further their careers in the pursuit of business technology success is what I'm all about. 

Here's How You Can Help

A number of courses are under development and I'll be making further announcements in the coming weeks. I have defined the topics to be addressed but I need your help to make this as good as it can be. Please click here graham@primeFusion.ca and email me the top three tech challenges you are facing today. Even better, forward this email to anyone that you think might be interested in providing a list of their tech challenges.

I’ll follow up to discuss how my program could help overcome these challenges within a few short weeks.

And I'll be sure to provide you with direct updates on how your feedback is contributing to the design of my program.

Thanks for your help!
