End of the Year

December 24, 2015 By Al Martine

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 […]

Skills & Staffing for the Need

November 15, 2014 By Al Martine

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

August 16, 2014 By Al Martine

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 […]

August 5, 2014 By Al Martine

I’m trying to liberate my approach to blogging, by sharing more personal thoughts and ideas and take it back to being my {personal} journal rather than worrying about … well, all the stuff people who want to have successful online businesses worry about. Oh, but I do need to avoid hacking off any of our […]

In pursuit of what’s next

July 27, 2014 By Al Martine

I’m sitting in Morgantown WV after what has been a tumultuous seven full months. In case you’re curious, yes, I live here and I’m not making one of the many trips I’ve made back to WV over the years to visit or take care of my grandmother. And, yes, I’m here alone. Marriages are wonderful; […]

Bad Service because of Bad Systems: Frontier Communications for the Fail

February 10, 2014 By Al Martine

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

February 8, 2014 By Al Martine

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.
