Hello and welcome to the site. Digital Vision Consulting is an independently owned and operated entity that has morphed over the years from an active consulting practice to more of a networking and collaboration vehicle for myself (Jim King). The site reflects both the consulting side of my life as well as diverse industry interests.
This site / blog is primarily a platform for networking and general discussion or sharing of resources, notes and ideas across the technology and healthcare industries, with a mix of other general topics and thoughts. I welcome your comments and conversation, and if you are interested in engaging or conference talks, etc. feel free to reach out using the contact page or linked-in. The resources tab contains re-usable materials and reference information that can be shared or re-used with the ask that when pulling materials from there, please retain any source credits reflected in the material. Most of the general content can be found on the blog – which is also searchable from the sidebar.
Please feel free to check out the site, or read some of the more recent posts. Content note for the posts: many of the posts were migrated from my prior blog, hence the common post date.
