As the CEO of two mobile computing companies, Jeff Bonar will discuss how process improvement has shaped the direction and integration of two very different startup products one focused on consumers and one on enterprises. Process improvement has a role to play, but its not the right solution for every problem.</SPAN>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN STYLE="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">What are the key issues and processes that govern and enable any startup, and in particular have guided the integration of two very different products and their divergent application of technology? </SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN STYLE="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The discussion will include:</SPAN></P>
<UL>
<LI><SPAN STYLE="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">What is required for todays products (before you start improving)?</SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN STYLE="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Clients vs. users what do they care about?</SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN STYLE="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">"Principled de-normalization"</SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN STYLE="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Fears and risks vs. technical challenges</SPAN></LI>
</UL>
<SPAN STYLE="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">How Agile applies to business development and funding, not just product development (e.g., keep delivering value and revenue at every step)</SPAN></DIV>

He combines strong business sense, visionary leadership, deep understanding of technology, and passionate commitment to results. His emphasis has always been on <SPAN>commercialization --</SPAN> taking raw technologies and finding practical and effective applications that generate profitable businesses. His experience with commercialization of software technology includes work with small startups, mid-sized companies, and Fortune 500 corporations in fields including mobile software, customer relationship management, training, and software tools. </SPAN>
