| Readers "Kevin Craine's theories on document management are revolutionizing the way companies manage documentation." —Alicia Ellis, Editor, ImageSource Magazine "Kevin's book is a great tool, because it exposes the issues surrounding a document strategy and suggests processes for solving them. If you're looking for help with day-to-day problems read the book. If you're looking for quick answers, those only appear in the white parts of the pages." —Dick Quinn, President, Eskimo Management Company "The standout book this summer is 'Designing a Document Strategy' by Kevin Craine. The book offers a step-by-step approach for establishing and implementing a document strategy. Craine first explains his document strategy model, and then discusses how to conduct an assessment of where your company is and where it should be in the delivery of information to customers. He emphasizes the impact these strategic changes will have on customers as well as your internal organization, and offers suggestions for selling your strategy to senior management. The book is replete with interviews, examples and case studies. Craine is a true advocate."" —Mark M. Fallon, President & CEO of The Berkshire Company "I have read your book, which I received while at the Metevante Client Conference. A great starting point with great tips." —Nigel Walker, Group Consultant Pricing Management, Absa Group - Johannesburg, South Africa "I bought your book at the Xplor Conference last year. I'm walking thru it now and taking lots of notes. I think your book will guide me through the process we need to go thru - without most of the pitfalls. Sure am glad I heard about it in a presentation and then saw the book in the Xplor Bookstore."" —Bonnie Haley-Redus, IT Analyst, AdvancePCS "I have just finished "Designing a Document Strategy" and enjoyed reading it. Being an experienced project manager, I found the book a good refresher on project management methodologies. In my view, your book can be applied to any type of project. I share your views on a document strategy."" —Stefan Floratos, Consultant, Brisbane, Australia "Thanks for your book. I read it a year ago and it has helped me immensely. My partner and I established an office equipment dealership 18 years ago in Australia. After a while, growth at our company, Office Technology Management, started to plateau. I then read your book which gave me the idea to market ourselves as independent consultants and broaden our offering. Over the past few months I've realized that many of the ideas I have expressed to customers have been molded by your ideas in your book. I am impressed with the simplicity of your "documents-technolgy-people" model. Thanks for your time and for the book."" —Shaun Minogue, Managing Director, OTM - Australia "I couldn't put it your book down; it was so good! Easily one of the best books I have read in my life, and believe me, I've read a lot of them. It was well worth the price. "Designing a Document Strategy" should be required reading in business school. Students would learn so much about how the real world works by reading your book. It's a must-read for managers as well. Your book is about designing a document strategy on one level, but it can be read on another level, and it is so much more. I particularly liked the paired matrix for making a decision, methods to do payback analysis, and your scientific approach to problem solving." —Bob Ramsey, Operations Analyst, Portland, Oregon |
