In November 2011 I moved to a new website here - that contains more up to date information on what I do and also my new blog. I will delete this website in January 2012.

My consultancy work falls into three main areas.

1. Internet Strategy

I help clients figure out how to use the internet to help them achieve their business targets. This involves:

• Establishing the businesses sales and marketing objectives
• Identifying the resources available within the business (both cash and time/skill sets)
• Recommending specific internet tools which would be most effective in delivering the objectives
• Recommending potential suppliers to be considered for the work
• Train management and staff to work with the required services and tools
  

I do not have a commercial relationship with any suppliers so my recommendations are always based on what is most relevant to my clients.

Online Communications

On the communications side we (myself and clients) work to extend the core messaging and relationships which exist offline successfully into the online space. We make the necessary changes to the management and delivery of those messages and relationships to reflect the subtleties of how online (and in particular social media) works and what the expectations are within each channel.

Broadly speaking we are developing strong and ongoing relationships with real people and the approach taken will always reflect that.

2. Developer Selection
The process of finding website or software developers can be a confusing one. I work with clients to:

    * Help you decide what you want from your site
    * Help you put that in a structured document
    * Help you select the right developer

So the website you get is the one you need for your business.

Please contact me to discuss this further.

On the 18th October 2011 I am delivering a 4 hour workshop on this topic with the Irish Internet Association - check out the detail here. You can see an extract from the presentation below.

3. Project Management
I work with a small number of core clients to help them manage key projects. This work involves everything from early stage planning through to running tender process and managing software or website builds.

My experience here ranges from small projects to ones with a value of over e500,000 and the majority have involved the specification and build management of software solutions.
