YES! IT'S TRUE! Martin will come and work exclusively for you, and all I ask in return is money. What could be fairer? So I am indeed available for consulting engagements. Areas typically covered:

  • Education about stupid networks, the end-to-end principle. When these ideas matter, and when they don't apply.
  • Trends in the telecom and wider communications industries. (I read a lot of blogs. Do you?)
  • How this relates to your business.
  • Product strategy ideation and voice of the customer. (I've got more patent applications filed than you've got toes. I enjoy this stuff.)
  • Technology advice in meeting the challenges of end-to-end IP.
  • Leading workshops and generally stirring things up.
  • Investment criteria for projects. ROI isn't good enough. You need strategic alignment too. (If donut shops have higher margins than telcos, that doesn't mean telcos need to start bulk buying flour along with routers.)
  • Tools and techniques for strategic planning, product portfolio management and project pipeline management.

Both long and short engagements considered, worldwide geographic scope.
