Bio
Kurt Gillick
Scott provides a clear vision of the most vital and easily overlooked components of an ERP implementation which ultimately determine a system’s usability and drives end user acceptance. Scott’s pragmatic approach, flexibility and expertise make him an extremely valuable business partner. I am particularly grateful for his willingness to educate an organization concerning the implications of their design decisions. I only wish I had brought him on board from the beginning of our ERP journey!!!
Walt Johnson
In addition to great project management, Scott has his eye on the big picture. He can see the ramifications of decisions on the team and the culture, hence, he is able to contribute to a better outcome. I also enjoy working with Scott due to his oral communication skills - being able to spell things out clearly, while taking the listeners position and level into consideration. He has a broad set of knowledge and interest in many applications and technologies, and is not shy about venturing into new territories. Overall, a great asset to any team.
