Publications

DA&R writes for small to large publications, online and print. We also blog and create other resources regularly for our clients use and for the public via our DA&R Blog - The Management Advisor. We have successfully sold articles and white papers, have written for 25+ publications, and have been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, CIO Magazine, CIO Online, and over a dozen more.

The person who matters most is the reader or client of the executive or other buyer who invested in our writing and research fee. Many times we are hired to shake things up. In fact, contact us to hear about our Irritating Research^© that we have been doing for clients for years! One buyer described they wanted to really motivate their people to change, and fast! We sometimes make some readers uncomfortable, for their own good. People change only when they are self-motivated or are really prompted by another person they respect. We help our client drive lasting change by "Knocking The Stupid^©" out of their processes and attitudes.

Count on us for motivating, direct, clear writing to persuade and inform people of all levels.

• Original Research and Report Writing (Much of our work is for clients and cannot be listed...)
• White Papers on topics of your choice or our array of process, leadership, or technical areas
• Custom Course Ware for us to deliver or for your in-house staff to deliver, we also T³ (Train The Trainer)
• Articles for your in-house publications
• Marketing Material in collaboration with our Marketing and Public Relations partners
• Interviews and Quotes for that special executive or occasion, have us draft the perfect piece to round out your event or publication

DA&R's Senior Team has years of research and writing experience. Many of our clients end up not editing our work at all, speaking to the level of knowledge and how well we get to know our customers. DA&R has relationships with professional Technical Writers should you need ongoing consulting or contract help, and we do place Tech Writers on a part-time or full-time basis, including Temp-To-Perm. Our team provides an objective, outside influence or a "fresh eye" on difficult issues, coupled with expert facilitation and documentation skills. Let us help your teams effectively move ahead.
