Nicholas Delonas

A hybrid of the business and information-technology worlds, I am of the most value to senior managers responsible for corporate finance, strategy, or information systems.  I've been recommending, designing and implementing business systems since 1988 with a particular focus on Microsoft Excel, Access and Visual Basic.

Able to Help You Strategically

Strategy must focus on operations and include measurable objectives and metrics. Whatever strategic recommendations a reengineering or software development team makes should include specific, quantifiable measures for evaluating success. Such measures are fundamental to the notion of going from a bureaucratic to a customer centered orientation.

Developing such objective criteria lets planners assess the cost/benefit worthiness of an idea before actually adopting it as part of a strategy. Furthermore, such criteria offer the opportunity to actually measure the success of an implementation and serve as guidelines for employees. Strategic measures must be unambiguous. For example, instead of saying, "system Y will reduce paper work," a strategy
might instead specify, "system Y will provide customers with a complete and accurate response within three hours, 95% of the time."

Whether planning projects of strategic significance or simply crunching through an analysis, I can assist you with a variety of skills and competencies. Among these are:

  • Depth and breadth of hands-on technical knowledge
  • Real-world application development experience
  • Communication skills
  • Business knowledge
  • Training experience
  • Creativity
  • Intelligence
  • Strategic thinking
  • Brain-storming experience
  • People skills
  • Technological vision

I have a history of getting things done and of making them work.

Here's a blast from the past.  Just found this old Lotus World lecture from May 1993:  Optimizing 1-2-3 Macros.mp3.
