| You probably started out as a practicing architect, an electrical engineer, or an industrial designer and somehow found yourself in a CAD management position. You may be struggling with dual questions: “How did I get here?” and “What do I do now?” These are reasonable questions and not uncommon for those who find themselves in the CAD manager’s chair.
Throughout the course of this book, I hope to offer solutions not just to the technical problems facing a CAD manager, but also to questions like “How did I get here?” and “What do I do now?” It’s my goal for this book to be the complete CAD management resource for a variety of issues both technical and managerial. All I ask is that you approach the task with an open mind and the willingness to question your methods and make changes to improve your job performance.
Precisely because our backgrounds are so similar, I’m going to approach this book as a conversation between peers seeking to learn from each other. I’ll write this book just as if I were in the room leading you through one of my extended CAD management courses. I’ll strive to keep things conversational while steering clear of as much jargon as possible. I’m hoping that this straightforward dialogue will put a more human touch on an otherwise technical endeavor.
So, as I’m fond of saying: Here goes! |
