  John Scoville, Consultant
has worked for years in heavy manufacturing and banking, creating and enhancing business procedures and doing business process reengineering, often in preparation for new systems automation. His work history includes eight years in Saudi Arabia.

 

"I like to help brilliant Subject Matter Experts to create stellar documentation out of what they often see as distasteful writing chores."

  Recent assignments
 - Develop processes and procedures for managing a major state government IT project
 - Write and improve procedures and facilitate approvals for business process initiatives including money laundering discovery and prevention, purchasing, and treasury
 - Devise user surveys, train interviewers, and plan focus group sessions for needs assessment for a cultural arts center
 
 

"I enjoy identifying and scoping out the parameters of a problem, systematically coming up with a possible solution, discussing it with the client, and implementing the results."

  Areas of interest
 
- Documenting and improving business process
 - Working with experts and associated groups to identify and incorporate control points, to eliminate or at least minimize risks to the business, and to streamline and add value to procedures
 - Producing business documentation such as user manuals, business cases, flow charts, standards, and guidelines
 - Implementing process improvement
 - Working in treasury and purchasing areas
 
 

"I need human interaction: helping people and working with the team, not sitting in a workshop corner. When it comes to serving the client, one size doesn't fit all, and one method doesn't solve the real-world problem."

  Education
 
- AB and MA, University of Georgia, Political Science / English
 - JD, Atlanta Law School
 - Formerly certified in inventory management by American Production and Inventory Control Society
