Cindy McCourt’s Summary

I am IDCM Innovations (Imagine, Design, Create, Manage). I have had and still do have opportunities to perform in many roles and across multiple disciplines. At the core of each, I find information architecture. Depending on the discipline, you have different meaning for Information Architecture (IA).

My life's work is based in understanding the information required and how it is organized; how various aspects of the information relate to each other. I use these skills when designing instruction, web sites, and the interfaces used for both. When considering information systems, I use these skills to map processes, data, and interaction requirements.

Whatever I am doing, I find myself having to apply my project management skills. Sometimes I am the project manager for a project or I am assisting. Either way, I have to consider personnel (of which I usually have no control), schedules, budget, risk, communications, development processes, etc.

Cindy McCourt’s Specialties:

My roles have included Project and Task Manager, Business/Financials Manager, Instructional Designer and Developer, Information Architect, Instructor, Process Designer, Database Designer, Facilitator, Systems Analyst.
