Coherence Group, Inc.: My business web site

| 1 Comment | 0 TrackBacks

It is almost done! I have been working on it for almost a year, it seems. Distracted by actual consulting work, I never seem to have been able to complete the site. Because most people have been on vaction during the Christmas holidays, I've spent some time updating, editing and repairing the links on the site. Some, still don't work, but I am getting there. My colleague, Doug Bolin, and I are getting together soon to finish things up. Doug is a superb information architect and web designer, so I really value his help.

Coherence Group focuses on solving information, learning, knowledge and content management problems for companies and non-profits. We have experience solving problems with most technologies, but as I wrote and thought about the work I do, most of the value comes from understanding a customer's business problem explicitly, understanding user requirements and creating a process, content, and technology solution that meets those needs. My experience suggests that most companies jump directly to a technology solution before understanding the problem or how to solve it. I hope Coherence Group can create a platform for better decision making in this discipline.

So does mine. Usually by people selling technology rather than solutions. Until you understand what a company does to make money, you cannot provide a solution that actually works. A lot of folks in the computer and network business fail this test.

There is nothing sweeter than getting a company from 'swearing at them' to 'swearing by them'.
