What I did to solve the problem
|
|
HP Marcom for new product
|
Hewlett Packard needed to define, organize and execute the
marketing material for an international launch for a new product.
|
-
I coordinated (and wrote parts of) 10 separate pieces
(including an elevator pitch, data sheet, solutions brief,
FAQ brochure and a Flash demo) for teams based in Canada,
South Africa and California.
|
|
3 Nationally published books
|
Enhance my professional reputation, professional skills (including
writing and marketing), as well as create alternate revenue
streams.
|
-
I wrote three nationally published books, beginning with
a Windows 95 book written with Win95 beta software. My
most recent book was the IT Manager's Handbook: Getting
Your New Job Done. It was published in October of 2000
and co-written with a senior IT manager from New York.
-
I wrote these books while I had full-time jobs, other
contracts and was raising a large family.
|
|
Corporate Intranet
|
The IT consulting company I worked for at the time had a
static intranet site with no regular users, no methods of
company-wide communication and no location for formal knowledge
management.
|
-
Coordinated two complete revisions of a +400-person
intranet (Phase 2 - 1/00, Phase 3 - 7/00).
-
Went from a static site with no regular users to usage
by over 60% of the population.
-
Organized issues, project priorities, formal deliverables,
internal funding, coordination with outside vendors, scheduling,
etc.
-
Wrote over 500 daily splash page content pieces.
|
|
Website Development Project
|
Showcase my various skills, specifically my Project Management,
Web, Writing and Graphics experience.
|
-
I built this site as a formal project. The current working
version ("Version K") includes: 186 images,
21 HTML docs, 11 URLs, and 13 MS Word docs.
-
I have done all the work on this site, including all
the coding, linking, graphics and content.
-
See the Versions page for
details about this project.
