2010 Update for AmbermanLTD LLC

amberman — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 22:28:31 +0000

The first year of AmbermanLTD LLC was a big success! I spent much of the year in on-going engagements with CSU Channel Islands, CSU Northridge, and Wood, Smith, Henning, and Berman LLP. Short-term engagements included:

consulting with Tim Belton of Malone Belton Abel P.C. on the design of a new Visual Arts building at the University of Wyoming;
organizing the program for MoblEd ‘09
evaluating the Online Services strategy for School of the Art Institute of Chicago, with my colleague Crista Copp
arranging a seminar exploring online learning for a client of Dillon Kane Group, featuring Crista Copp and Kevin Kelly.

I begin 2009 working full-time to build AmbermanLTD LLC, but in September of 2009 I became the permanent Chief Information Officer at CSU Channel Islands. While this has limited my availability, I have been able to continue successfully providing services through AmbermanLTD LLC, in many cases by drawing on the skills of talented partners. If you are interested any of the services we offer, please get in touch!

Thanks so much to everyone who helped make 2009 such a success, and here’s to a great year for us all in 2010.

Understanding and communicating with stakeholders
Planning for Identity and Access Management systems
