How we work together

Partner

Your vision for your company

Your product organization has goals and plans, and not much time to explore published research to find something that might be relevant. At the same time you might sense that you aren’t breaking completely new ground, and that someone somewhere has explored the field before. With one foot in product management and one foot in formal education, I guide you to relevant fields of research and how they apply to your context and your specific product initiatives. I help you adapt your processes to incorporate ongoing discovery and become a learning organization.

Visionary

Your place in an education market

However much time and effort you invest in keeping up, education is an enormous sector and education technology sometimes moves quickly. A product will not succeed on its own terms, without a clear understanding of how it works in diverse classroom and school contexts, and without a clear vision for its place in the shifting education market. From outside your office and your team, I help you triangulate your position in that market and refine your path forward.

Educator

Your connection to learning

Having worked as a product manager with both in-house and off-shore development teams as well as large and small stakeholder groups, I know the work involved in bringing diverse people to the table with a shared sense of purpose. And with additional experience tutoring and coaching individuals, I know how much impact one-on-one interaction can have. As your coach and consultant, I make my experiences and perspectives and much more research available to develop your ability to do the work that matters to you.
