My main interests are in information and knowledge; in the creation, presentation, and access to content from which people can learn and improve their performance. I have worked in business for my entire career as a consultant, manager, and as president of my own company, Coherence Group. I have a degree in information science from Simmons College in Boston. Currently, I am a partner at Bridge Consulting International. Bridge is a global consulting firm that focuses on leadership education. Our clients want a new consulting model in which the work is done by experienced executives, leverages fact-based business research and analysis, involves prominent subject matter specialists act as coaches and facilitators; ensuring that organisations achieve positive strategic change. I have a new weblog in which I write about learning, elearning, knowledge management, innovation, and strategy implementation called Learning to Change Business I write to a micro-audience at What Ralph Knows. This weblog has gone through a number of permutations over the past several years as my interests have changed and events have shaped my life. I started this journey in 2002 when I leftCapgemini and created my own firm calledCoherence Group. Coherence Group was extremely successful and acquired a small set of marquis clients. Bridge Consulting International was my largest client and in 2004 I joined Bridge on a full time basis. One theme that permeates the weblog is information technology, knowledge management, learning and content management. I screen all the information very carefully and only those bits I find most interesting are presented, fortunately or unfortunately. In addition, I spend a good bit of time networking with my colleagues to find new business opportunities; many of these ideas and conversations are documented in this weblog. I am quite facile at solving computer problems, both software and hardware problems. I approach technology as a puzzle, and I find that every technology problem can be solved if you work hard enough at it. As I learn more about writing software, I have become an expert at software development methodologies. Now I am expert at the Rational Unified Process, Agile Development, and Microsoft's Visual Studio. Designing and building software present logical problems that, when analyzed correctly, at the right level, can be solved quite easily.
