Introduction
Hello! I’m Kathy Rowland, owner and only employee of Roworth Technology. I live in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.
I love helping people do their jobs better and more efficiently by providing solutions that work! I am able to do this through use of technology tools that provide creative ways to design intranet content, create videos and develop documentation.
Company Profile
Roworth is a boutique consulting business that began in 1989 serving corporate, government and education clients throughout North Carolina. The primary focus of the business is to provide technology related solutions and services through project management, training, implementations, and electronic content management consulting.
History
My career began as a technology training company, providing instructor-led training for WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3, writing and printing my own training materials. I also taught Continuing Education and Business classes at regional community colleges. Eventually I ended up teaching technology classes at a global technology company in Charlotte for 5 years. Each of these teaching engagements introduced me to folks that would later become clients.
Moving into technology project management has been a natural progression, with a strong focus on implementations. For many of my customers, I have provided turn-key technology implementations that included project management, implementation, solution development and training services.
Approach
I’ve learned through life experience that things generally go better when expectations have been clearly set, and then met whenever possible…and when they can’t be met, that gets communicated as quickly as possible. On occasion when I can’t meet expectations, or I don’t get it exactly right, I own it, and I love working with customers who do the same.
At the beginning of a customer engagement, I like to spend a generous amount of time with my customers finding out what they want and need. I do this by asking many questions, and sometimes repeatedly.
I’m big on verbal communication. I find great value in talking to people.
I work hard and am honest.
I have high expectations of myself and those with whom I work (but do not expect perfection from me or others….really).
I really like people, and am energized by them.
It is my passion to improve others’ work life by providing technology solutions that result in my customer saying, “I LOVE this! It makes my job so much easier!”
I am fun, and like to be around other fun people.
I don’t take myself or my work too seriously (or at least I try not to).
