I have produced music throughout the years, and recently surprised myself by releasing a number of heartfelt solo keyboard recordings, which was new but fulfilling territory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1648959911609-GVGSHD7R43RB9420GJYU/BT+homepage+early+2022.png Resume - The Build Tank The Build Tank website https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649043065749-AZLTEU134Y6BUPBJ8URD/locked+down+office+desk+behind+scenes.jpeg Resume - Film and Video Video is definitely one of my native languages, so to speak, and one of my favorite playgrounds. I love to grasp opportunities that appear to use the medium, and to stay open to experimentation, and to not be afraid of trying new things in pursuit of something great. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1648960788716-XVHDMSRPNSEJZZX1UXOH/curriculum.png Resume - “Roadmap to a Better Technology Tomorrow”, “The Curriculum”, and “The Blarg” At the heart of our work is insightful and accessible writing. That includes our ever-evolving “Curriculum”, a comprehensive “Roadmap to a Better Technology Tomorrow” with video overviews, and regular new insights via “The Blarg”, all of which explain the essence of our human-centered approach to impactful, high quality technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1648966777090-2TOQHJMUFZY7JFXP0ZXK/Podcast+ep+1+CU+midway.png Resume - Podcast: “The Greatmakers” We recently started a podcast called “The Greatmakers” to highlight amazing, strategic, communication-skilled technology “unicorns” like the ones we help identify and nurture, who are helping change the entire culture and impact of their organizations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649043541939-2IUSA3S6890CDQBIUX1C/podcast+website.png Resume - Podcast and conversation I genuinely enjoy connecting with people, understanding their unique path and their process, and finding the entertainment and humor in situations. In one example, my buddy (and business partner) and I hold a weekly conversation about creativity, which has taken on a fun life of its own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649038476221-84ZDQA26CVKO8C7LBLC2/IMG-0310.jpg Resume - Diplomacy and Communication Helping organizations change their structures, org charts, and approaches requires attention to diplomacy and buy-in at multiple levels, from executive leadership all the way throughout the organization. So much of that is about communicating with people one on one, being straightforward, authentic, and demonstrating that you have everyone’s best interests at heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649041739125-KUWIFUVPFY014BDFRXBG/unicorn+party+zoom.png Resume - Community Convening: Unicorn Party! We embraced the idea that we are helping organizations find technology “unicorns” and started convening a popular bi-monthly gathering of “unicorns” from various organizations for shared problem solving and peer support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649042493771-H5UALPGUEFI88Q7Q2WS8/shelter+in+place+garage+brighter.jpg Resume - Daddy Rappin’ In an unexpected twist of fate, I ended up with a small side career as a periodic daddy rapper together with my two young daughters. It has led some unexpected places such as being featured on The Today Show along with about a half a million youtube views. But mostly it has provided our family with some warm-hearted “yearbook pieces” to document the passing of years. https://samdorman.com/resume-backup daily 0.75 2022-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1648959911609-GVGSHD7R43RB9420GJYU/BT+homepage+early+2022.png Resume backup - The Build Tank The Build Tank website https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649035120045-Y2AQK24LWUWKFZ1PJBLN/Sam+community+hero+thing.png Resume backup - Co-Founding of Salesforce’s Power of Us Hub In 2012, seeing the inefficiency that every organization had to “figure out” Salesforce on their own, I crafted a proposal for a “Nonprofit Success Resource Center” and partnered with Salesforce to lead an in-depth customer study to prove the business case. In 2013 that became Salesforce.org’s highly successful shared support community “The Power of Us Hub”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649043065749-AZLTEU134Y6BUPBJ8URD/locked+down+office+desk+behind+scenes.jpeg Resume backup - Film and Video Video is definitely one of my native languages, so to speak, and one of my favorite playgrounds.

Doing that requires a lot of attention to diplomacy and buy-in at multiple levels, from executive leadership all the way throughout the organization. So much of that is about communicating with people one on one, being straightforward, authentic, and demonstrating that you have everyone’s best interests at heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1648964619805-C3P305TJVT5HOKTXCPGQ/Announcing+Roadmap+blog.png Resume backup - Roadmap to a Better Technology Tomorrow We pulled together a comprehensive “Roadmap to a Better Technology” tomorrow, together with brief video overviews that explain how an organization can go from technology dysfunction to excellence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649032100867-0M29BH9D7NQAQIP5X79K/whitepaper+multiple+shot.png Resume backup - White paper on Salesforce teams We wrote what still seems to be the only resource of its kind, a freely sharable white paper making the case to executive leadership in organizations using Salesforce about the importance of having internal capacity focused on the system, the critical work and roles needing stewardship, and the key responsibilities that should and should not be outsourced. Here I am on the Salesforce Admins Podcast having fun talking about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649040144490-PGK2O5H2TFXRWCGEGT5W/future+orgs+post.png Resume backup - New Insights via “The Blarg” When we have a compelling new insight or articulation to share, we release it on “The Blarg” as well as our email list and social channels. We consistently focus on providing helpful value to people rather than anything marketing related. However this has become a key generator of reach and new business opportunities, while providing helpful resources for new and existing audiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1648960788716-XVHDMSRPNSEJZZX1UXOH/curriculum.png Resume backup - The Curriculum We’ve written an ever-evolving “Curriculum” of accessible, bite-size posts that explain our internal capacity-centered approach to impactful, high quality technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649041739125-KUWIFUVPFY014BDFRXBG/unicorn+party+zoom.png Resume backup - Unicorn Party! Our model highlights a unique internal capacity skillset gap, filling it with strategic, communication-skilled technologists who end up being game changers for their entire organizations. After being accused of basing our model on looking for “unicorns,” we embraced the title and started convening a bi-monthly group of technology “unicorns” for shared problem solving and peer support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649035792841-3Z5IDLRWIVGC9EBUZ9J8/Roadmap+first+video.png Resume backup - Video and media creation We try to always find ways to make our content as accessible, engaging, and entertaining as possible. A well executed video can sometimes be more powerful than many thousands of beautifully written words (which I also appreciate!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7235e999a8385a853f2965/1649044143760-WBB3N8TVH7GBS3Z2MAM8/adi-goldstein-ySAL8aZGs5k-unsplash+2400.jpg Resume backup - Music and music production Creating music is a through-line in my life and provides me with incredible joy.
