She advocates for folks connecting and networking with one another
1524_ 3/31/14 - Larry and Pat attended key event, put on by the Communications Technology Professionals (CTP). Larry interviewed Kira Swift who is a Vice President at CTP and also on the board at A Precious Child. Kira is the owner of Swift Technology Advocates and the Director of Global Consulting for Global Communications Group. She was recognized as one of the Top 25 Most powerful Salespeople in Colorado by Colorado Biz Magazine in 2013. Kira serves on three different Board of Directors seats, and is the 1st VP for CTP for 2014. She is also on the Advisory Board for “A Precious Child”. Kira’s practice is around connecting technology leaders with technology buyers and help them vet and compare the costs to ensure that competition brings a healthy understanding of the most current and best solution in the tech space. Larry asked Kira, what advice she would give a person in high tech, who may be wondering about their organization. What steps should they take or where should they go? Kira said, "Well I think it's always good to do your research. So understanding what options are out there, partnering with someone who has a good handle on the tech community, networking with the partners that are out there. C-Level and technology people don't stay well networked. Then as things move and shift they find themselves, sometimes not ready for that next step in their careers - and so, I advocate for folks connecting, networking with one another at that level."

Yogi is also a board member of the Communications Technology Professionals. Larry asked what the biggest needs for organizations were today? Yogi said, "I think organizations are going for more of the outsourced solutions and obviously companies are migrating into the cloud for numerous reasons. For scalability, agility, and they are more cost effective at times for them and that's where Telesphere comes in, to deliver that solution for them." Telesphere provides businesses with the extensive communications services and features previously available only to larger corporations. All without the cost, hassle and limitations of traditional solutions. Here’s how we do it. Instead of dealing with the ongoing maintenance and costly hardware of a traditional PBX solution, we optimize your office with private, dedicated connections. It’s called cloud hosting and it’s changing the way companies do business. As they say, "Telesphere provides no-hassle premium voice and data services to any office, anywhere in the country. All without the need for confusing in-house servers or a costly support staff. Instead, we host it all centrally in a secure, fully redundant, power-protected environment so you can get back to what you do best; growing your business." BTW, Yogi came to the U.S. at the age of 3, be sure to Listen to the rest of the story....

Transformational Leadership in a Global Economy
1527_ 4/7/14 - Larry and Pat attended the high-profile ACG Denver Rocky Mountain Corporate Growth Conference and talked to a number of attendees about the business timing in the marketplace today. Larry recorded the keynote address General Stanley McChrystal. General Stanley McChrystal is widely admired for his hunger to know the truth, his courage to find it, and his humility to listen to those around him. Even as the commanding officer of all U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan, he stationed himself forward and frequently went on patrols with his troops to experience their challenges firsthand. A one-of-a-kind commander with a remarkable record of achievement, General Stan McChrystal is widely praised for creating a revolution in warfare that fused intelligence and operations. He is also known for developing and implementing the counter-insurgency strategy in Afghanistan and for creating a comprehensive counter-terrorism organization that revolutionized the way military agencies interact and operate. Listen for some great ideas... (Part 1 of 4... Part 2 below)

Transformational Leadership in a Global Economy (Part two)
1528_ 4/7/14 - A one-of-a-kind commander with a remarkable record of achievement, General Stan McChrystal is widely praised for creating a revolution in warfare that fused intelligence and operations. He is also known for developing and implementing the counter-insurgency strategy in Afghanistan and for creating a comprehensive counter-terrorism organization that revolutionized the way military agencies interact and operate. A four-star general, he is the former commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan and the former leader of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), which oversees the military’s most sensitive forces. His leadership of JSOC is credited with the 2003 capture of Saddam Hussein and the 2006 location and killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. McChrystal, a former Green Beret, is known for his candor, innovative leadership, and going the distance. Called "one of America’s greatest warriors" by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, few can speak about leadership, teamwork, and international affairs with as much insight as he can...Part two Listen...

Entrepreneurs, mid-market, large corporations and public sector
1523_ 3/31/14 - Larry attended a high-profile ACG Denver luncheon and talked to a number of attendees about the business timing in the marketplace today. Larry interviewed Nate Oatman, ACG Denver Board Member, with Capital Value Advisors, an investment bank - a boutique bank based here in Denver, Colorado. Nate's firm works with middle market, privately held businesses, primarily helping them execute a transaction when it's appropriate, but also working with them multiple years in advance. And, they've been doing this for over ten years. Larry asked what the biggest challenges are facing us in the next years. Nate replied, "I would say there's a bit of a longer term uncertainty out there. I think a lot of our clients current and prospects, are trying to figure out, do they want to reload and go for the next level of growth or do they want to partner with someone else to do that. Or, are they ready to potentially exit and move on to a next chapter. So I think that is a challenge of 'hey we've recovered, the economy is doing very well', from our perspective, right now. But you know good business owners are always looking 3 to 5 years out. So I would say that's one challenge and the other is time. Right. Everyone we work with, and being a boutique outfit, we are very selective on who we work with and so that's always a challenge and we notice with our really strong clients, they're always searching for more time to achieve their goals." Larry asked, you're on the board at ACG, give us an overview of what you have coming up. "ACG is great, we've got our Corporate Growth Conference on April 1st where we anticipate getting about 500 business advisors, intermediaries, private equity groups, investment bankers, lawyers - so they'll be getting together and"...

Master Data Management, enterprise architecture & IT governance
1525_ 3/31/14 - We are at the Future of Technology Conference where they are discussing 'Software Defined Technology' and our next guest Michael Wall and his organization are sponsors of the Communications Technology Professionals. We like to see organizations that are really involved with the community as a whole. Michael tells us that is important to them "A Precious Child and non profits, we like to help those companies that are giving back to the community as well." So we asked Michael to tell us about his organization. He said, "Apoorva is an IT consulting company but it concentrates on three foundations within IT, master data management, enterprise architecture and IT governance. Not treating each one individually, but intertwining the three together when we come in to the solution. Effectively we come in and find where you might be having data integrity issues - clean up the data, make sure you have better performance and can trust the data that sits in front of you.' While every situation is different, the process used is the same - but each client is different because they have customized data and different data needs. Enterprise architecture and master data management typically has been done by some larger consulting companies. But, it's on page 7 or 8 of their 'services provided'. So they're not really providing the due diligence and the focus that you need in master data management. That is our only focus, so my job is to reach out to different companies to educate them on different ways to do master data management and of course, architecture as a consultant and also bring in our CEO who is just a genius when it comes to identifying areas of risk...
