Consulting: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Engagements

      We all have been exposed to consultants and their work. Some of us have worked as consultants or have considered working as consultants.

      Our May program is about IT consulting. Our speaker is Ron Styers who has over 25 years experience with consulting companies. Ron is presently President of Healthbox Technologies. Healthbox Technologies works with healthcare organizations that could benefit from a collaborative approach to the development of custom software and database solutions.

      Ron will discuss starting a consulting company and the various problems that it entails. Do you have to have your first engagement before you start? Are you better off starting by yourself or hiring people? Can you work out of your garage? How do you balance working on a deadline from your first engagement while developing future engagements?
