About

I’m retired after 40 years of working in the Aerospace industry in a variety Engineering, Functional Management and Project Management positions. My professional expertise is in the areas of Program, Risk and Knowledge Management. I’m passionate about life-long learning and I’m interested in a wide variety of topics. I’m committed to sharing my knowledge and ideas with those who are interested and I hope to do that through this Blog. My primary hobby is jazz music of all kinds. I’m an amateur jazz keyboard player, and the President of a local, non-profit Jazz Club, dedicated to the preservation and promotion of jazz music from the ’20’s through the 60’s.

    Hi Dom,
    I am doing a Master research in the topic “Failure and success of IT projects”, in particular I am exploring risk and uncertainty management and leadership. I would be very interested in interviewing you for the research purposes. May I get in contact with you and explain you further?
    Regards,

    Pilar Gomez

      Pilar,
      My area of project management experience is in the aerospace business and not IT. However, if you think I can be of some help to your research, I’m open to the idea of an interview. I suggest you send me an invitation to join your network on LinkedIn.

    Hallo Don.
    I’ve just read your valuable post about Deming’s SoPK. I’m looking forward to read more about from you in the future.
    This way I came to know about your passion for jazz music. My hobby is producing music (unfortunately I do not play any instrument), and so it would be a great pleasure to have your opinion about my latest project: http://music.jazzylogic.org/album/ultramarine
    Thanks a lot!
    Best.
    Giorgio
