Who is behind all this?

Kevin Dostalek has over 15 years of experience in the IT industry and over 10 years managing large IT projects and IT personnel. While he holds numerous System Engineer related certifications, Kevin has spent the last 10 years focused on software/web development and improvements in the development process including being an early adopter and champion of “Agile Development” processes starting in 2002. Kevin has led projects for companies of all sizes and has participated in various roles including Developer, Architect, Business Analyst, Technical Lead, Development Manager, Project Manager, Program Manager, and Mentor/Coach. In addition to these roles, Kevin also managed a Solution Delivery department as a Vice President for a mid-sized MS Gold Partner from 2005 through 2008 and later also served as a Vice President of Innovation and Education. Kevin formed Kick Studios, LLC in 2010 to be a platform to expand his experience in the directions noted on other pages of this website.

Kevin has also spent considerable time with all aspects of social media and how these technologies and techniques can be leveraged by business enterprises to solve business problems including ECM (social tagging), BI (Enterprise Prediction Markets), Ideation (Ideagories, Innovation Markets), and Collaboration/Community (blogs, micro-blogging, social networks). Kevin can be found very active on many online social networks and maintains a blog, The Kick Board, which is a great place to really find out more about Kevin's competencies, beliefs, interests, etc...

Kevin is passionate about learning and teaching, enabling authentic relationships between people, and blending left-brain critical thinking with right-brain radiant thinking. These passions make him an ideal candidate for disruptive innovation initiatives, especially those involving his technical expertise (software product development, social computing/media, and SharePoint).

Anybody Else?

At present, the "other partners" involved with Kick Studios are limited to the new product development endeavors. These folks will all be made public on the respective product web pages when they are ready. While we occasionally do partner with trusted connections from the SharePoint community to help with some consulting engagements, they generally represent their own companies rather than operating under the Kick Studios banner.
