Building experience through a lifestyle of adventure and challenge, Alan embarked on the project of a lifetime and set a world record on Mount Everest along with three members of his immediate family.

She is also the founder of Bellehumeur Co., where she consults, speaks, trains, and writes on documentation and workflow best practices.

In her 17 years as a business owner and consultant, she has developed a practice she calls “Dynamic Documentation” that helps teams, projects, and organizations solve their problems and achieve their goals.

She is the author of THE 24-HOUR RULE—and Other Secrets for Smarter Organizations, (BenBella/Penguin Random House March 2023) which you can think of as the first “mass market” book on documentation best practices.
 
Presentation - Inverting your Change Management Strategy

When most of us talk about “change management projects,” we think of them as one-and-done initiatives. That might have been the case in the past, but today–with the capabilities of technology and the ever-changing demands of the global economy– change is a state of being. For innovation and organizational change to be successful, we need to recognize that change management isn’t reserved just for Change Managers. It’s everyone’s job to have the strategies, tactics, skills, and frameworks for making change happen
