· You’ve described yourself as working at the plumbing end of data analytics. Can you explain what that means?
· Who uses the data and what do they use it for?
· Having worked with and mastered a wide range of software tools over your career, what go-to approaches are in your consulting toolbox?
· Can you give us a sketch of your approach to requirements capture?
· How do you approach conceptual design? Both as an individual consultant and as a member of a team?
· And translating a conceptual design into the full project?

Well, we’ll wrap up there.
Thank you for sharing your ideas with us today.
