About

CompanySmith Inc. enables organizations to become project and product development leaders, reduce costs and shorten time-to-market.

We improve the predictability of technical projects through field-proven processes for effective and efficient project assessment, planning, teaming, and communications.

Our model for success in projects is based on the four cornerstone elements of customer, team, process, and ideas. To assure success in projects, the customers' needs must be credible and well understood, the team must be productive and technically solid, the processes must suit the project and team, and the ideas must have value and strong sponsorship.

We break these four areas of key success factors into 12 and then 36 areas of focus as we improve the predictability and results of your project. On the right is our "Project Knot" which expands to show the details and relationships of these key success factors.

With over thirty years of marketing, engineering, and senior executive leadership of project and product development-focused organizations, CompanySmith understands and integrates the needs of customers, senior management, and teams - ensuring that your company delivers projects on time and on budget.

Dennis Smith, the principal of CompanySmith Inc is also a partner in Strategies In Play LLC [more]
