Bio of Guest Speaker - June 16

James S. Harvison (Jim) began his career in Information Systems at the University of Maryland in 1974. He held positions of increasing responsibility starting with programming, progressing through management of campus data centers both academic and administrative and culminating in overall responsibility for all University computing.

In 1984, he started his distribution career when he joined a major east cost office products distributor as Vice President for Computing and Telecommunication where he was successful in completing the implementation of a new distribution system and the internal development and deployment of several strategic systems including remote order entry for commercial sales and a point of sale system for the retail division.

In 1990 Jim became the technical consultant for the National Office Products Association where he provided expert advice and assistance in selecting distribution systems, POS systems and Bar Code systems. Later in the 90’s he founded a software company which developed a Windows based order entry system with stock room management, usage reporting and full EDI support as well as a fax to computer order entry system incorporating advanced technology for the optical character recognition of hand print.

From 1996 through 2003 Jim held positions of Senior Management for technology companies including Vice President of Research and Development responsible for a team of 50 Microsoft Certified Developers in Denver Colorado.

In 2004 he founded The J Galt Group, LLC a management consulting firm focused on helping small to medium size business solve difficult problems, grow their business and achieve their goals.

Jim realized that his 30 years of IT experience gave him a very broad and deep understanding of business challenges and solutions and that this experience and understanding could help almost any small business owner.

He also realized that as a first step to growth and success, most business owners, while recognizing the need for planning, did not plan for many reasons including the significant time and effort required for create a traditional plan with little value for the effort.

After a year of research, Jim found the ideal solution to this problem in the One Page Planning and Performance System which helps any business or organization identify what needs to be done to focus the team on a daily basis in the who, what, how and why to achieve the company (or non profit) goals. Since then, Jim has helped a variety of business and non profits leaders of all sizes and industries, gain clarity and focus to resolve immediate problems and challenges and take their organization to the next level.
