  Pat Ferdinandi of Strategic Business Decisions, Inc.
  
  Pat calls herself a Chief Thought Translator. By the technical community, she is referred to as a Business Process Architect. All her successes over the past 30+ years can be attributed to effectively communicating between the business community and information technologists. She speaks both languages. Her many clients will tell you that she has always been able to understand what the business wants, documenting it in a flexible architecture so that the hard-core techies could build it. In the past, she has helped develop some complicated systems for medium to large size companies. She started out as the bridge between business and IT but evolved into managing the projects through design and implementation as a project or program level manager. Nowadays,
  
  Pat speaks (keynotes and seminars) to audiences representing either the business side (How To Communicate with Geeks) or the Information Technology side (How To Engage the Business Community). She coaches Business Application Managers and CIOs on the development process, business intelligence, and application realignment to support the business. I help them get what they want from Information Technology. She mentors new managers and analysts to improve their standing with the business community.
  
  And ... businesses and architecture) ... IT infrastructure to support the business.
