Hi, I’m Dale Scott. I successfully plan, manage and execute product development and business transition projects, building on the creativity of product visionaries and using effective team leadership, data-driven decision making and a philosophy of Transparency and Trust.
How can I help?
Let me help you realize your product vision using critical thinking and data-driven decision making to create a proof-of-concept for an technology product, manage a product development project, capture bills of materials and material supply chain to expedite and scale manufacturing or improve business processes.
Product development and manufacturing is inherently detail oriented and dalescott.net takes advantage of best-of-breed open-source software to capture and manage change, creating order from chaos. Software applications include Project Management, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Enterprise Resource Management (ERP and MRP), Quality Control and Issue Tracking, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Document Control. Clients have unlimited access to software used and retain ownership of their data. Software access is also available through subscription plans.
To discuss further, connect with me on LinkedIn or use the Contact Form.
