My specialty is finding, analyzing, organizing, and presenting information in a way that maximizes its usefulness for decision makers. The value of this was demonstrated dramatically in a study conducted at five large corporations. Four out of five of the surveyed executives felt that the information provided by an information resource expert helped them decide upon a course of action. And three-quarters of them felt the information helped them avoid making a poor business decision. That's what I'm about - finding, synthesizing and using information to succeed.

We also know that one good idea can launch an industry, change a company's direction, or position a person on a successful life path. That's also what I'm about - searching for, recognizing, and championing ideas that make the difference. As an intelligence expert I'm dedicated to finding information, turning that information into knowledge, and putting that knowledge to work - both for individuals and for companies. [less]

  El Centro de la Raza was lucky to get a donation of consulting and one of Anne's best selling books. Hard to say exactly how many things Ann could be classified as an expert -history, art, writing, editing, discovery, etc. etc. She is a multi-talented person.   [less]

  Ann is an amazing lady! She brings a wealth of experience, skills, wit, intelligence, heart, and passion to everything she does. I've connected with her in a variety of events and venues, and I'm thrilled that she and I are considering ways to collaborate more formally going forward. Thanks Ann!    [less]

  First, you hear the great laugh. Then you realize the intellect, next you literally see the wheels turning. Ann is not just intelligent, she makes things happen and can draw from her many resources. She is a people person with an engaging personality, quick intellect and a loving soul. While working with her on several projects, I have been continually amazed at her ability to research, demonstrate and construct concepts from vague notions. Business intelligence is not a light science. She knows what she is doing and I look forward to more collaboration with her. Lucky me!    [less]
