| The IT Integration
project is the archive for reference materials on the how to best implement
the key components required to manage a data processing shop. This site
requires frames. The material in this site is becoming obsolete because
each standards vendor continues to crank out updates on a regular cycle,
even if there is little benefit to the customers of those products.

| The Best Practices for Information Technology
project began as an effort to find the best way to integrate vision, governance,
projects, metrics and operational efficiency for a data processing shop.
This book includes a summary of the key knowledge required to implement each
of those components and two case studies describing efforts to put this knowledge to use.
The outcome from this effort was an initial integrated model of the Human Resources
component in project management.

This link displays a brief summary of the evolution of the
conceptual model I use
as the foundation for my books. This model began with the integration of several
theories from organizational management.

|
| The Seeking Alignment
project began as an effort to find an explanation for the Human Resources
component in project management. The original goal was to find a better
way to get people to work together.
The project expanded into a search for a way to integrate religion, philosophy and psychology.
The foundation of this book is an integration of several key theories of
organizational management.
Much of the content in this book is an exploration of the Christian Bible.
Note that these are research notes and I frequently change my opinion along the way
as I iterate through approximations searching for answers.

Alcohol and Other Drug Counseling (AODC).
Project Managers seek to change companies, but companies start with people.
AODC workers strive to change people. Project Managers can learn a lot
from this field.
