I'll admit it. I'm technical. I am probably REALLY technical, but I am no longer a great software engineering. I *know*--for a fact--that I alone do not have the talents and aptitudes required to make the software product myself: it's too complex!! But...I *do*...on the other hand...have the talent, aptitude, and abilities--I think--to make and implement software through teams and people. I know how to create a vision for the customer, for the software product, I know how to *sell* it, I know how to convince people that they need it and need to implement it. I know how to hire the technical resources, etc. But I do all of these things in a very non-technical and human-friendly way. I guess I'm a manager now, officially. Although my business is software, it is just that: a business. Software is not a technical function necessarily but many parts of it ie the engineering and delivery are...
I am looking forward to my new role with Bridge Partners Consulting where I will hopefully have a chance to act on this vision of implementing software through processes and then selling software through solutions and engineering. Go team!!!
