Recommendations for: Dana MorrisStrategic
and Tactical Marketing, Public Relations and Project Management
Convergent
Media Systems "Dana
managed a variety of high visibility projects for our largest client. He stood
out as one of the few capable of managing the whole process from proposal
development to cross-functional team management/collaboration to successful
product delivery. Always the consummate project manager, he was the driving
force that kept the project on track, on schedule, and on budget despite the
pitfalls inherent in developing custom, leading-edge projects. Dana’s sense of
humor and positive attitude make him a delight to work with."
"Dana
was the project manager for many of the projects that my team was responsible
for implementing. He actively sought to learn those technical things that would
help him to better manage the projects and to work collaboratively with the
client and my engineering team. He was very successful at this. A consequence to
this was that his projects tended to run as planned with expectations being met
all around. If I had a chance to work with Dana again I'd do so without hesitation." Hitachi
Computer Products "At
Hitachi, Dana was a key driver of two product launches and a new branding
initiative. He juggled multiple conflicting priorities along with an arcane
approval process and never lost his sense of humor in the process. Dana has
remarkable creative talent, sound judgment and a very strong work ethic. Plus,
he's a pleasure to work with."
"Dana
Morris stands out in my memory as one of the most trusting and collaborative
client contacts of my career. Once he was sure that our PR team knew our stuff,
he loosened the reins and subsequently forged an outstanding agency: client
relationship that reaped great dividends."
"Dana is
a conscientious and diligent manager who strives to do the right thing for the
company and his direct reports. Dana takes the necessary time to fully examine a
project, and then chart the proper course to ensure success. It was a pleasure
working for Dana -- I hope I'm lucky enough to work with him again."
"Dana
is on top of it all. On top, all the time. I worked extensively with Dana in the
software area and he was the go to, get it done person".
Object
Management Group "Dana
has an uncanny balance of analytical and creative skills which enable him to
deliver solution - often out of a magic hat! Able to convert technical
objectives into business solutions, Dana is an asset to his organization."
"I've
worked with the OMG for several years and watched worldwide change occur through
technology and marketing. Dana brings the OMG's message into clear and crisp
focus through hard work and dedication. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say
"Thank you Dana!"
"Dana and I worked closely
together building support for various standardization initiatives in the object
management and XML arenas. Dana was consistently responsive to both my needs as
well as those on our project team, and together with his team he generated many
creative ideas that increased industry support of our efforts. Dana's excellent
communication and collaboration skills, not to mention his deep understanding of
the needs of multiple and diverse work groups, made him a key contributor to our
success."
"Dana and I have worked
together to develop and deliver a strong collaborative partership between our
respective organizations, OMG and Gartner. Throughout, Dana has consistently
been a creative and responsive partner whom I would highly recommend in a
professional capacity."
"I serve on the Object
Management Group's Board of Directors and have been impressed by the conciseness
and clarity with which Dana presents trends in the standards community. His
assessments and projections are based on the analysis of web site and press
activity providing us a quantitative situational awareness of our position in
the standards world and the status of our portfolio of specifications and
initiatives. He has been a significant asset to the Board in support of our
deliberations."
"While representing Unisys at
the Object Management Group, I've worked with Dana on-and-off for something like
six or seven years. As a member of the OMG Board of Directors, I have had a good
view of Dana's work product and ability to deliver over time. Dana has
successfully managed the marketing of OMG through a difficult period following
the dotcom collapse. I believe his steady, thoughtful tenacity was an important
component of OMG's recovery following this industry-wide trauma. Personally, I
find Dana to be very affable, and I look forward to seeing him whenever life
allows. Be sure to ask him for a link to his artwork site!"
"Working with Dana over the
last few years I have consistently been impressed by his ability to effectively
shepherd a diverse (and at times divergent) group of technology professionals.
He has overseen the growth and expansion of a number of industry initiatives,
from concept to critical mass on a global scale."
"I have been collaborating
with Dana Morris for well over a decade on a variety of marketing campaigns. His
keen instincts, knowledge of the marketplace and ability to craft on-target,
brand-strengthening messages continually produces outstanding results. In
addition, Dana's professionalism and affable nature make working with him a
pleasure."
