About
About William
William (also known to his friends as Reid) may be useful where a business is dealing with a technical, operational or process problem that needs clearer definition before a solution can be chosen. His stated capabilities span digital transformation, technical architecture and systems integration, operations and process improvement, cloud environments, networking and security. His approach is centred on understanding the underlying problem, challenging the status quo and considering how people, processes and equipment can be better aligned to achieve defined outcomes. This can include helping businesses think through how workflows might be automated, secured or optimised. William also describes experience supporting change from within large corporate and government environments, acting in an “intrapreneur” capacity to help drive change internally. His industry experience information includes technology/SaaS, government/public sector and cybersecurity/defence. When working through a problem, he uses diagrams, whiteboards and other visual methods to focus discussion on the essential elements, available options and an eventual solution. Engagements may be advisory or hands-on, including project work, implementation support, workshops or sprints, retainers and ongoing fractional support.
Business situations
When William may be useful
Example engagement
An example of the work
A customer faced changed security requirements concerning the storage of its client’s data. Cloud Paradigm was engaged to understand the client’s requirements, assess available options and devise secure solutions that could meet those requirements. The work involved understanding and interpreting the customer’s problem in detail before applying relevant technical knowledge to possible solutions. The approach described emphasised careful problem definition and consideration of the requirements and options rather than moving directly to implementation. This reflects William’s broader approach of using technical and process thinking to clarify complex problems and develop an appropriate path toward a solution.
