Revising my site design
End of the Year
2015 is about to turn into 2016 and in some ways it’s hard to tell what really happened. It seems like only yesterday that I was preparing to go to New York City to celebrate New Years 2015. I guess an engagement, move and new project can make the time fly by and I expect […]
An Overview to Project Planning
Introduction to organizing and planning a project.
Skills & Staffing for the Need
I’ve been thinking a lot about needed skills a lot recently thanks to a project I’m pretty involved with seems to be staffed with people with all the wrong skills. They’re very skilled in their areas of expertise but for some unexplainable reason the team needs basketball players and we have a bunch of very […]
Keeping the Plates Spinning – Enterprise, Project and Personal Planning
A few years ago I swore off the phrase “I’m busy” because I grew tired of hearing other people say it and I realized that it was nothing more than filler. And, everyone’s busy is different. My view of busy is certainly different than yours so I swore it off as a phrase. Sure, it […]

We publish TWTW so we can share some of the Tech Comm and industry articles from around […]

Bad Service because of Bad Systems: Frontier Communications for the Fail
It’s a longer story that I care to share, but I needed to update the telephone account with Frontier Communications. I’ve “worked” with Frontier more than once and know enough to try to avoid it at all costs. But, today I had to dive in – if I wanted to ever see a bill from […]
Customer Experience Management & Tech Comm
I’ve been thinking about a Customer Experience Management (CXM) and Technical Communications lately. For those not in the know, CXM is a new fangled term for what companies should be doing already, which is ensuring that their customers have a great experience when dealing their company. Many people, me included, think it’s really a different […]
