NISO Spring Project Management Training Series, Session Eight, Crucial Conversations, 7.2.20

You started with a team and you continue to work with that team. But working with people requires listening, a balance in understanding the substance of what a team member says when they hold a different perspective of issues and workflow. How do you minimize the bumps and barriers that will arise? This final session will talk about the keys to success -- working with integrity, honesty and transparency.

Early in his career, he was asked to join the launch team working on what became ScienceDirect, one of the industry’s leading online platforms. During subsequent years, he gained broad experience by leading change programs for most of the major components of digital information platforms, including content management, search, identity and access management, big-data and personalized recommendation systems. Chris has also played a significant role in the broader STM industry and is a strong believer in the power of community-wide collaboration to solve tough problems and drive progress.

He was a founder member of the ORCID board, helping that organization grow from start-up to become a sustainable part of the scholarly infrastructure landscape. Chris was part of the committee which oversaw the NISO/NFAIS integration, and he continues to serve on the NISO Board. Over the past few years, Chris has devoted much time to solving the access problem in research information, co-chairing the RA21 project, and building a coalition of industry organizations to operationalize those recommendations as SeamlessAccess.org.
