IMEG Corp.\u00a0<\/span>h<\/span>as promoted Jeff Burton to\u00a0<\/span>the role of\u00a0<\/span>client executive<\/span>, leading\u00a0<\/span>one of the firm\u2019s two technology teams<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeff<\/span>\u00a0has more than 30 years of experience in technology, security, and system integration, and most recently served as a project executive<\/span>\u00a0working out of\u00a0<\/span>IMEG\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>office in\u00a0<\/span>Naperville, IL.\u00a0<\/span>He\u00a0<\/span>took time out recently to answer the following questions:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What drew you toward technology engineering?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>While growing up I was around the\u00a0<\/span>f<\/span>amily business. My\u00a0<\/span>g<\/span>randfather started an electrical repair shop with his knowledge of aircraft electronics after he returned from the war. My\u00a0<\/span>d<\/span>ad obtained his\u00a0<\/span>el<\/span>ectrical\u00a0<\/span>e<\/span>ngineering\u00a0<\/span>d<\/span>egree and grew the company into a diverse range of electrical and electronic services. As a kid I held the flashlight for my\u00a0<\/span>f<\/span>ather on those midnight service calls<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>I\u00a0<\/span>have been intrigued by\u00a0<\/span>‘<\/span>how things work<\/span>‘<\/span>\u00a0ever since.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What<\/span><\/b>\u00a0is\u00a0<\/span><\/b>one of your most memorable projects?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Shortly after joining IMEG<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0I worked on\u00a0<\/span>several<\/span>\u00a0expansion and renovation projects in the\u00a0<\/span>h<\/span>ealthcare sector. I had worked on the design of greenfield hospitals<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0but these were the first\u00a0<\/span>projects to<\/span>\u00a0open my eyes to the pace and complexities of patient care.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is critical for a s<\/span><\/b>uccessful consultant-client relationship<\/span><\/b>?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Responsiveness and dependability. As we push back against the commoditization of the\u00a0<\/span>e<\/span>ngineering\u00a0<\/span>i<\/span>ndustry<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>we at\u00a0<\/span>IMEG can continue to differentiate\u00a0<\/span>our<\/span>\u00a0firm<\/span>\u00a0by being easy to work with.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What one thing will\u00a0<\/span><\/b>have the greatest effect on technology design of the future<\/span><\/b>?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0<\/span>Internet of Things<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013<\/span>\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>applications for\u00a0<\/span>which<\/span>\u00a0are practically limitless. IoT is the core technology for\u00a0<\/span>\u2018<\/span>smart space<\/span>\u2019<\/span>\u00a0concepts and\u00a0<\/span>i<\/span>ndustry. Furthermore, IoT sensors can be used to develop<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>processes\u00a0<\/span>for<\/span>\u00a0a wide range of\u00a0<\/span>operations<\/span>. The digital transformation has already resulted in extensive changes in the role of technology in the business world<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0IMEG can provide thought leadership as the pace of these changes increase<\/span>s<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0the greatest opportunities lie ahead.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Describe the qualities and capabilities of your team.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy team \u2013 one of two IMEG technology groups \u2013 consists of more than 30 subject matter experts in all areas of technology design and all market sectors. We will focus on both local projects in the Midwest and national opportunities. The team has broad technology experience in most vertical markets. For example, our existing\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>coustics subject matter experts\u00a0<\/span>are<\/span>\u00a0part of\u00a0<\/span>our team<\/span>. Our strength is our\u00a0<\/span>s<\/span>taff and the ability to collaborate with our peers<\/span>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/span>such as the firm’s Healthcare Information Technology and Medical Equipment Planning staff<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 to provide\u00a0<\/span>a depth of expertise and level of technology consulting and design services that few firms can match.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you relax and unwind?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Boating and time at the lake with the family. I\u00a0<\/span>also\u00a0<\/span>unwind by listening to high resolution audio on a British\u00a0<\/span>‘<\/span>Hi-Fi<\/span>‘<\/span>\u00a0system.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6836,"template":"","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nQ&A with Jeff Burton, new client executive for technology -
