I feel there a never a "wrong" time to talk about technology, though your busiest seasons are often the most awkward times to try to implement it and learn new processes.  Now is definitely one of those "right" times:  a time to pause and reflect upon both successes and challenges, and to plan for important changes as you empower your business for the future. 

Do you feel some tasks are more difficult than they need to be?  Are there critical business processes that have spun out of control?  Do you have existing technology that you've rapidly come to outgrow?  Do you have systems in place that do not adequately share information or "play nice in the sandbox" together?

If so, there may be a way Opus Empowered! can help.  I speak your language, with over two decades of experience in the Green Industry.  Feel tree to contact me by phone or email if you would like to talk a bit about the "t-word" - or to ask how I've helped empower companies just like yours!

 

 

Let's be frank.  From my past careers in Landscape Construction Project Management, Retail and Wholesale Nursery Sales, Horticultural Brokerage and Purchasing,  Professional Services,  and Retail, I've seen technology, or it's conspicuous lack, at many levels. 

I've personally felt some of the very same pain you might be feeling now - OUCH!!!

As a technical implementation, sales and support specialist employed for 6 years with a Microsoft Partner firm, I have also worked closely with a wide range of Green Industry operations in addition to Liquor and Specialty Retail clients.

I have the skills, background, education and resources to evaluate your Specialty or Horticultural business from a holistic, project managerial perspective, and then to incorporate the latest techniques to help you and your key personnel make the most of your business practices and opportunities through better understanding, better planning, and the best and most efficient use of today's enhanced technologies. 

From a more efficient and productive work flow; to a more thorough understanding of the role human resources and the workplace environment play in the small to medium sized firm; to the competitive environment and your company's role in the mix; as well as the current state of your Information Technology resources including hardware, software, and related tools and procedures; I've seen what works, and I've seen what fails in a variety of different situations. 

With degrees in both Ornamental Horticulture and Business Management, and over two decades of  experience in several key segments of the Horticulture industry as well as in professional services and retail, my recommendations and efforts offer a unique and thorough perspective.  Through alliances with  key vendors, technology partners and additional solutions providers, once my recommendations are made, and your approval is secured, you won't be treading water  - unsure of with whom and how to implement your business action plan. 

Your business is unique.  If you're looking for an opportunity to improve upon and grow your dream, let's talk.  Then, you decide.
