Cindy started as a computer systems consultant, helping hundreds of organizations computerize their accounting and operational systems, acting as advisor, project manager, technical resource, and trainer. She had the opportunity to work on many diverse projects including: developing bakery production and real estate management systems, and setting up job-costing, inventory tracking, payroll processing, and point of sale systems. She worked in a wide range of industries including: technology, nonprofit, government, health care, manufacturing, service, and education, developing a comprehensive understanding of business operations.

With each project, Cindy had a chance to observe and learn, firsthand, how culture, priorities, and manager behavior affected employee loyalty and motivation. Eventually, she moved her practice from technology-based solutions to people-based solutions solidly grounded in basic business operations.
