A Trusted Guide and Thought Leader in S1000D

From government agencies to technical authors, I’ve had the privilege of supporting organizations at all levels in understanding, adopting, and contracting for S1000D. My approach goes beyond textbook knowledge – I bring real-world insights and a deep domain expertise that allows me to contextualize S1000D to your specific organizational and project needs.

Recognized as a thought leader in the field, I actively contribute to shaping the future of specifications, policy and guidance. My involvement in numerous technical groups allows me to stay at the forefront of industry developments and bring cutting-edge insights to my clients.

Unique Training Approach

What sets my training apart? It’s the ability to bridge the gap between theory and practice. I don’t just teach S1000D; I help you see how it fits into your world. My sessions are designed to be engaging, uplifting, and most importantly, relevant to your unique challenges.

Software-Agnostic Focus

My approach is distinctly software-agnostic, and I have no software solutions to sell. This sets me apart in an industry where many trainers have a hidden agenda, using training as a vehicle to promote their own software products. I believe that software often blurs the true capabilities of S1000D, and those with products to sell may not always have your best interests at heart.

That’s why I focus first on S1000D itself – its core principles, capabilities, and potential. Only after establishing a solid foundation do we explore software solutions, carefully aligning them with your project or organizational vision. This method ensures that you understand the standard thoroughly and can make informed, unbiased decisions about tools that truly serve your needs, free from the influence of sales pitches disguised as training.

S1000D in the Context of Digital Transformation

I don’t teach S1000D in isolation. Instead, I place it within the broader context of digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and data analytics. These external factors are reshaping the landscape of technical documentation and materially impact how we must approach S1000D. My training helps you understand:

• How AI can enhance S1000D processes and improve content quality
• The role of data analytics in optimizing S1000D implementations
• Ways to align S1000D practices with broader digital transformation initiatives
• Future trends and how to prepare your S1000D strategy for emerging technologies

This forward-looking perspective ensures that your S1000D implementation isn’t just current – it’s future-proof.

Beyond the Training Room

My commitment doesn’t end when the training does. I’ve become a trusted shoulder to lean on for many projects, offering support and guidance during the crucial execution phase of S1000D implementations. Unlike some trainers who ask for your credit card number every time you have a question, I believe in building lasting relationships. I’m here to support you throughout your S1000D journey without nickel-and-diming you for every inquiry. This ongoing, accessible relationship ensures that you’re never alone in navigating the complexities of S1000D implementation.

Driving Industry Standards

As an active participant in multiple technical groups, I’m not just following industry trends – I’m helping to set them. This involvement keeps me at the pulse of S1000D evolution, ensuring that my clients always benefit from the most current and forward-thinking approaches in the field.

Life Beyond S1000D

When I’m not immersed in the world of S1000D technical documentation or contributing to industry focus groups, you’ll find me behind a camera lens. Photography isn’t just a hobby – it’s a passion that allows me to bring unique, eye-catching visuals to my training materials, making learning even more engaging.

And when the weekend rolls around, you’ll catch me cheering for Middlesbrough Football Club. Being a huge fan isn’t just about the sport; it’s about community, passion, and never giving up – values I bring to my professional life as well.
