Stephen says, "I never wanted to accept the role of IT 'witch doctor' and the
first order of business for me is to ensure that information users understand
the background and purpose of every technology that is needed. That way, even
if they can't follow the operational details, they can take responsibility for
the decisions they make and the money they spend to implement information
projects. My projects are successful because everyone is involved and in the
middle, not on the outside wondering what is going on."
