Services
My consulting services help exploration organizations bring clarity, structure, and confidence to their geoscience data. I work across the full lifecycle of data, from how it is collected and stored, to how it is governed, accessed, analyzed, and ultimately used to support decisions.
Engagements can be short and focused, or broader and more strategic, depending on what your organization needs right now.
Geoscience Data Foundations
Strong decisions start with sound data foundations. I help organizations ensure their geoscience data is structurally correct, spatially consistent, and fit for technical interpretation.
Data Systems and Integration
As organizations grow, data often becomes fragmented across spreadsheets, databases, and specialized tools. I help bring these pieces together into coherent, usable systems.
Digital Solutions and Product Delivery
Many data challenges are ultimately process and design challenges. I help bridge the gap between technical systems and the people who use them.
Enablement and Adoption
Even well-designed systems fail if teams do not understand or trust them. I place strong emphasis on adoption and long-term effectiveness.
Engagement
My consulting work typically falls into two complementary modes.
Operational, hands-on work
Focused engagements that address specific needs such as cleaning up, consolidating, migrating, or integrating data so it becomes usable and trustworthy.
Strategic and advisory work
Assessments of an organization's data landscape, followed by clear and practical recommendations for governance, structure, and future-state systems.
I am happy to tailor the approach to fit your organization's size, maturity, and priorities.
Service Details
Geoscience Data Foundations
Geoscience Data Integrity and Structure
I work with teams to assess the quality and structure of their geoscience data, with particular attention to drill data, surface sampling, and spatial datasets. This includes reviewing coordinate systems, spatial accuracy, and data relationships to ensure the data can reliably support modeling, interpretation, and reporting.
This service is often the first step for organizations that are experiencing uncertainty or inconsistencies in their technical outputs.
Practical Data Governance for Exploration Teams
Data governance does not need to be heavy or bureaucratic to be effective. I help teams define practical governance approaches that keep data consistent and trustworthy as projects and teams evolve.
This can include guidance on reference data, master data concepts, naming standards, and ownership models that are appropriate for exploration environments.
Data Systems and Integration
Data Cleanup, Consolidation, and Migration
I help organizations identify, clean, and consolidate data from multiple sources into managed systems. This work focuses on improving data reliability while preserving source information and historical context.
Typical outcomes include reduced duplication, clearer data lineage, and increased confidence in day-to-day data use.
Data Transformation and Integration
I design and implement data transformations that prepare data for downstream use, including analysis, reporting, and modeling. This includes aligning structures across systems so data can move smoothly through technical workflows.
The emphasis is on creating data that is usable, consistent, and ready for future integration.
Business Intelligence and Insight Delivery
I support the development of business intelligence solutions that turn raw data into clear, actionable insight. This includes database querying, data modeling, and the creation of dashboards and reports using tools such as Power BI.
The goal is to give teams timely visibility into their data without requiring deep technical effort for every question.
Digital Solutions and Product Delivery
Business Analysis and Requirements Definition
I work with stakeholders to understand their needs, constraints, and priorities, and translate them into clear requirements for digital solutions. This includes balancing competing perspectives and ensuring that solutions remain focused on real use cases.
This service helps reduce rework and ensures that development effort is spent on the right problems.
Product Ownership and Agile Delivery
For organizations building internal tools or systems, I can act in a product ownership role, guiding scope, priorities, and delivery through an Agile process.
This helps keep development aligned with business needs and ensures solutions are delivered in a usable and sustainable way.
Web-Based Tools and Internal Applications
I help design and oversee the development of internal web-based tools that support exploration workflows, data access, and reporting. These solutions are designed to be practical and maintainable, rather than overly complex.
Enablement and Adoption
Technical Training and Knowledge Transfer
I provide training that balances practical instruction with an explanation of underlying concepts. This helps teams understand not just how to use systems, but why they are structured the way they are.
This approach supports better adoption and more consistent use over time.
Collaboration, Documentation, and Information Management
I help organizations make better use of collaboration and documentation tools, particularly within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. This includes structuring SharePoint and shared workspaces so information is easy to find, maintain, and trust.
