Waylon Kenning, Managing Director

Hi, I’m Waylon Kenning, and I’m really passionate about solving problems with technology. I’m based in Hamilton, New Zealand, and through my employer, Hamilton City Council, I’m tackling these sorts of problems:

  • How we’ll manage our assets, including different types of assets such as water, property, and roading assets;
  • How we’ll manage our documents and records, including getting access to that information from other applications and to the public;
  • How we’ll manage our library assets, providing customers new ways to explore our library collection.

In addition, I’m thinking about some more intangible things:

  • How an Information Technology unit delivers a really customer-focused experience to internal and external customers;
  • How an Information Technology unit can build long lasting open honest relationship with other units;
  • How I can help the council deliver awesome e-services that enable customers to get the information they need, do the transactions they want to do, all in a more efficient manner.

Of course, my thinking isn’t limited to local government. I’m also considering some wider problems:

  • How an organisation can implement Enterprise Architecture;
  • Creating generic content and workflow applications that can meet the needs of most knowledge-centric organisations, such as regulatory bodies, doctors, lawyers etc.

I’ve got good experience in Systems Analysis, Business Analysis, Solutions Architecture, and a growing interest in Enterprise Architecture.
