John D.'s Linkedin Analytics

I'm keen to offer my experience to assist others. Please reach-out directly to me if I can help Thanks John A career in IT Leadership, Team leadership, Business planning, International software sales and market development - coupled with a life-long-learning drive. Has led me to spend the last period translating business lessons into Learning futures. Sales, Consulting and Operational leadership including nearly a decade as State Director @ Microsoft. A clear approach to Corporate Strategy and Development - running and developing 'cross team collaboration approaches', designing & building strategies, developing new skills to meet new market demands. The core principle of my career has been 'Strategy'. Strategy above all else, to understand, to analyse and reflect on what, how and why products or services matter, and to whom they matter most. Identify and develop new strategies to evolve and grow clients positive outcomes with new technical solutions. Explore how as a team we could make this better. Better for the customers, better for consumers of our customers solutions, products or services. Technology and ICT leadership roles have often found me serving as an Orchestra conductor. Looking at multi-layered, complex situations. As I begin to see the dots, align and realign every variable until I have found a new configuration - then re-join the dots. I love outcomes that are innovative & productive, but are also the most individually empowering. Being an Orchestral leader has taught me the importance of having well-laid plans, while retaining the ability to switch directions instantly to maintain the ability to adapt to something brand new. ‘Innovation and Creative thinking', are my paramount concerns. I’ve always figured, hire the best and smartest people you can – then leave them alone to be smart people…recognise & reward smart thinking and innovation. IT leadership, specialist knowledge in Corporate, Education and Government segments in Australia. A strong believer that 'customer centric action' is the point where Sales, Consulting and Customer Service meet with Client satisfaction and Partnership. Fostering consulting approaches to Sales Operations, Business Operations and breaking down individual silos to create holistic team goals shared by vendor and customer together. A keen focus on Higher Education futures, SaaS, Cloud and new technologies - challenging the status-quo. "Lead with Innovation', the rest will follow".
