IT Mentoring Service

Provides an impartial and experienced 'sounding board' relationship for IT managment that is centred on trust and confidentiality. As a mentor, we are a "guide by the side, not a sage on the stage".

Sometimes it just takes a simple " That's a good idea, but have you thought of..." questioning statement. As a guide (mentor), metaphorically we know:

What to pack for the journey (patience, learning tools, expertise)
Where to get additional supplies (information, skills, opportunities, strategic alliance)
How to make the journey a fruitful one (provide suggestions / recommendations)
Which areas of the landscape to survey and areas to avoid (distractions from goals)

IT Management Framework Tips...

A good IT management framework means good processes are in place thus avoiding the "re-inventing the wheel" syndrome which helps reduce risks and errors and improve quality.
