Jeremy Corey
About Jeremy “The Technology Explainer”
Jeremy has more than two decades of experience in engineering and delivering information technology solutions in the public and commercial industry. Jeremy left a storied career in the Department of Defense to bring practical innovation and courage to leverage collective genius for solving organization’s toughest technical challenges. Jeremy wanted to educate organizations on solutions and deliver his passion for explaining technical concepts to executives.
Jeremy approaches problem solving in a semi-structured manner. Considering implemented systems, formal process and business rules, and unstructured intuition, judgement and organization context. A Johns Hopkins alumni with an uninhibited desire to learn, Jeremy applies his approach candidly, thinking out-loud, articulating, and visualizing with the simplest terms to decompose the problem into digestible portions. Jeremy likes to relate everything to good food. :)
As a technologist, Jeremy appreciates organizational uniqueness in tools, infrastructures, and software stacks. In more recent years, cybersecurity has become a central focus for many clients. Decomposing the security concerns of executives, recognizing the core business objectives, it is not uncommon for a discussion around a particular risk, concern, or vulnerability to include technology roadmaps, fiscal constraints, and human capital development. It isn’t always about the technology, and as a Partner of 4CORE LLC, Jeremy realizes people don’t fit into neat boxes like containers in a Kubernetes cluster. We want to work with curious and empathetic people who are just as committed to developing themselves and learning new skills as they are about the success of the organization and its mission.
Jeremy helps customers innovate, adopt and derive value from collaborative solutions.
WHAT WE DO
And How We Do it
CONNECT
Facilitation, Strategy, Design
Facilitation and strategy to align with the vision, mission and goals of the organization to reach intended outcomes. We lead interactive strategy, well-being, and resilience sessions focused on either individual and/or systems level forward thinking approaches with no limits to what’s possible. These creative strategy and design sessions include a mix of collaborative thinking, active learning, solution circles/crowd sourcing and future visioning to really dig deep into the heart and expertise of each of the key stakeholders to bring magic and momentum to the surface.
Each person has a voice and something to contribute to the greater good of the organization. Gone are the days of one voice, one leader and one-sided direction. Allowing the creative genius to emerge from each one of us brings endless possibilities and motivation to see ultimate contribution from every single person leading to incredible success within the organization. We’ll elevate team strengths, communication and connection leading to a thriving and productive workforce that will take your organization to the next level.
INNOVATE
Technical Advisement, Create, Strategy
With our corporate, commercial, and government backgrounds, we dive deep into conducting market research, assessing the newest technologies, applying industry best practices, developing minimum viable products to prove out ideas, identifying measurable results, considering integrations, and operational and human capital burdens.
Our team of experts have the skills and experience to dive deep into specific areas of focus to a broad range of topics. We’ve led teams with all different backgrounds and areas of expertise and understand the best approaches to each situation that proves the most value to the organization. We thrive on continuous learning, research and development to not only improve our knowledge and understanding, but to also provide the most innovative and valuable guidance and recommendations to our customers. We’re also pretty good at taking the 1000 foot look at each and every situation or topic and bringing it down to a more logical level so everyone, even the non-techy’s or experts in the group, can understand and contribute on an equal playing field. We’re able to strategize and streamline approaches to every situation with optimized processes and resources.
ADOPT
Plan, Implement, Conquer
We help you create the message platform and value proposition for traction, identify and scope pilots, recruit champions far and wide, build momentum and ultimately conquer. There’s nothing worse than putting in all the work and the money to innovate, design, and strategize to then just see all of this go nowhere. That’s where a unique implementation plan and strategy to keep the momentum going and see each innovation come to life and into the users hands is key to making each and every project a success.
From start to finish, we pave the way from initial idea to seeing this in use. The strategy around adopting new technologies or processes is just as important as the initial design phase. What’s the point of creating something if no one’s going to use it? This is why we put user experience high on our priority list during the entire design and innovate stage and especially into implementation. Another area we tackle is the process of sunsetting or removing older technologies when replacement or updated innovations are ready to be brought in. There’s a fine art to this entire process to make it as seamless and practical as possible to alleviate any issues or interruptions to the user. Let’s create something truly innovative and watch as the magic happens in real life being used by real people.
