About the Author
James Abbott has made a career out of taking technical topics and explaining them so that anyone can understand. A professional engineer for more than 30 years, James learned early on that even the best methods are useless unless they are delivered in a fashion that allows their swift and effective implementation. Inspired by the great Southern tradition of storytelling, James uses anecdotes about Grandmas biscuits and a visit to the grocery store to explain scientific concepts like queuing theory and reporting metrics.
James isnt afraid to get his hands dirty. In the course of his coaching and engineering hes worked alongside electric engine assemblers, in a high-pressure call center, and on the third shift of an IT help desk. It is his ability to learn a businessfrom the ground upthat has allowed James to develop methods and tools for everyone from the CEO to the custodial staff.
Though he has worked throughout the Western Hemisphere, Jamess home is in Greenville, South Carolina. He is the author of thirteen books.
