Strategic Projects
Robert J. Potter has used his extensive network of relationships, broad experience, and deep technical know-how to help many large and small, public and private companies as well as investment firms. Each project is a separate entity. They are fixed price and fixed delivery date; all expenses and incidentals are absorbed. The objectives are carefully and sharply defined in a letter of understanding. Project reports and/or presentations are conclusive and follow-on tasks or continuations are not proposed. A project is a singular piece of work with a complete conclusion.
