At an early age, I had a natural curiosity for how things work. I loved taking things apart and seeing how everything fit together, understanding what purpose each component had in the successful operation of the objects I was disassembling.
By understanding how things work, I learned I could figure out how to make those things work better! Imagine a 7-year-old applying WD-40 to everything from door hinges to locks, and any other mechanical moving parts—that was me, very crudely, making things work better! When things couldn’t be taken apart, I asked a lot of questions to people I deemed as authorities on the subject. That most often turned out to be my parents, not only asking them ‘why’ (as young children do) but the all-important ‘how’. Sometimes I got good answers; other times I didn’t. In Ronald Reagan’s words, this taught me to ‘trust but verify’ information my Subject Matter Experts fed me.
So what drew me to consulting in the first place and what has drawn me back? There are a lot of things I love about the profession but feeding my hunger to solve problems and discovering the details of how things work is top of mind. These traits lend themselves well to just about every project: a well-defined problem and well understood current state sets the foundation to a successful project.
The culture at Citisoft fosters and encourages these traits. We are a team of curious, inquisitive, and driven problem-solvers, helping our clients craft a vision and strategy that solves even their most complex problems.
