With the Washington Capitals having made the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Phrase “Off Center” means something a bit different than it might have a week ago.
Regardless I had a great time recording Mark Amtower’s show last Friday, for broadcast today, Monday, April 9th, at noon, and rebroadcast Thursday, April 12th at 11am.
The other guest was Ed Swallow, VP of Business Development, for Northrup Grumman’s Civil Systems Division.
We kicked around the differences between working for a large or small company, in my case Powertek Corporation, www.powertekcorporation.com; as well as how the two can work together.
Technology topics include Cybersecurity and mobility. No technology discussion would be complete without some mention of ‘the cloud’, so we covered that also.
We talked about how small companies can differentiate themselves, Mark’s summary of the program discusses Ed’s approach:

I discussed how Powertek has taken the concept of the Voice of the Customer which we use to ensure we get usable feedback on projects and added additional structure to it in order to make it a Powertek value-add.
Thanks to Mark for inviting me and for Ed Swallow for being such a great fellow participant.
