What has two thumbs and Extracts order from chaos?

 
This Guy! A picture of Dan Beard - The Digital Custodian

I’ve built my career by pursuing work that interests me. What started as a passion for software development grew into a love of operations management, product development and now business coaching. I have worked in both product development and agency environments as an individual contributor, manager and executive. Along the way, I curated the knowledge, tools sets and skills to transition a ‘start-up’ into a thriving small business. My best days are when I am working with a client and I see the exact moment that a concept resonates with them. In those moments, I know... we just got better.

 

The concept of the Digital Custodian emerged as I assessed my career. Was there a common theme? Then it hit me: They all required me to clean up a mess when I walked in the door. Once the mess was cleared we could develop improvements. Following up with systems and proactive monitoring led to effective maintenance. 

 
 

CLEAN. IMPROVE. MAINTAIN.

I enjoy learning about different businesses and industries. One of the things they’ve taught me: Work is Work. It can be visualized, measured and evaluated. The Digital Custodian process is powerful in helping you unravel your day-to-day and week-to-week struggles. When combined with an execution framework like EOS, Pinnacle or Vistage, you have an opportunity for a powerful transformation.  Are you ready to transition beyond startup mode or optimize your experienced team? I’m here to help.
