Imagination and determination allow for creative thinking based on past lessons and the drive to push new ideas forward. Technology expertise and project management skills are core competencies that allow for immersion in current and future technologies as well as the conceptualization, outlining, detailing, running and delivery of project goals. Influencing and technology management round out the core competencies, with the former enabling the acceptance of business solutions and the latter providing a lifecycle plan so new technology integrations are not hampered by old technologies.
