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.

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]

  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]
