Background

About Jacques Preiss

I've been juggling the IT ball for over 35 years and I still enjoy it. In a way, I feel about Business Analysis, like Barry B. Benson's dad (Martin) from the Bee Movie, feel about Honey stirring: He says, “Let me tell you something about Stirring, my son. You grab that stick and you stir it around, you get into the rhythm, I tell you, it is a beautiful thing!” Nowadays I prefer short engagements of the fixer-upper kind where I can apply my skills to get troubled projects back on track. I am a da Vinci and work best under pressure.(In fact, da Vincis can ONLY work under pressure!). Therefore I get my kicks at times and on levels when other folks have long gone home and to bed. Specialties: I've followed the traditional path through IT from programming to Business Analysis to Project Management and I have some experience in the following areas: Project Management, Team Leadership, Business Consulting, Business Analysis and Process Modelling, System Analysis and Design, Data Modelling and Management, Change Management, Risk Management, Financial Management, Relationship Management, Motivating and Playing Ball.
