ALLEN WADE

Hello, I'm Allen Wade, an ICT industry expert with a wealth of experience in guiding technical initiatives, managing accounts, and implementing communications technology for a diverse range of clients, including small and medium-sized businesses.

My approach is deeply influenced by the Anne Marie Smith case, which highlighted the crucial need for independence and effective communication in care. In response, I focus on harnessing technology to facilitate greater autonomy and regular, face-to-face interactions, aligning these solutions with the individual capabilities of each client.

My expertise spans a broad spectrum of the ICT sector, encompassing enterprise software, networking, cloud technologies, data centre services, and a keen insight into financial investment strategies. Having recently completed an MBA in Finance, I'm well-equipped to integrate my extensive management and coaching skills with a strategic financial perspective, ensuring tangible results for both participants and providers.

Understanding the unique technological needs of each client, I specialise in developing customised outcome strategies and fostering cross-functional collaboration. My approach is holistic, considering the client’s current skills and technologies, and then fine-tuning these systems while enhancing the client's abilities to quickly achieve desired outcomes.

Communication is at the heart of my work. I pride myself on being an excellent communicator, capable of operating independently and committed to providing exceptional customer service through my strong interpersonal skills.

My drive is fuelled by challenges and the relentless pursuit of excellence. I strive to exceed standard expectations, aiming for results that benefit all stakeholders involved. This dedication extends to carefully balancing the outcomes, NDIS requirements, and safety considerations, all while working towards reducing long-term costs for clients. This includes minimising the need for subscriptions and additional charges through smart configuration.

I invite you to connect with me to discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals. Please feel free to reach out through the links below for any thoughts, comments, or inquiries about my work, which you can also explore further on my blog.
