JRMA
Randy is repurposing his extensive large company expertise in agility, business/IT value, metrics and governance to attack information overload by simplifying its discovery, organization and retrieval. Targeting entrepreneurial individuals and small businesses, he is essentially creating a business agility process subset for startups. He is a published author, business process patent holder, training developer, thought leader and co-inventor of a governance method used worldwide. His ability to take complicated issues and untangle them has earned him customer accolades and a $150,000 creativity award. He is currently transforming the Lean Startup methodologies originally designed for creating new products or services, and applying them to business process development, validation and rollout.
