We simplify doing business in a digital world.

Resistance to change is a real deal breaker in the business world. And regret is its counterpart in the digital world.
Post 9/11, corporations invested heavily in their disaster recovery systems by accelerating the adoption of digital technology, virtual communication and remote-friendly work environments.
Most smaller businesses faithfully updated their websites, and upgraded their electronic systems and in-house applications.
Conventional planning and daily activities deferred to common usage-based strategies, techniques and technologies, designed for predictable, day-in-day-out environments.
Then quite abruptly, "business as usual was cancelled". Giving rise to the long overdue, creeping commitment to data-and digitally driven business planning.

Sworak.com is a free-lancing small business with two in-house professionals and a cadre of virtual associates scattered across the U.S. and Canada. We make great "flash team" members if you're looking to connect your in-house talent with a pipeline of complementary outside resources.
As for myself, (a.k.a "Yours truly" or "Sonia Sworak"), I've picked up decades of business know-how by virtue of learning from the-best-of-the-best; dogmatically resisting to throw in the towel; and most recently, acquired maturity and perspicacity. Yes, perspicacity.

This is your brain on business disruptions
When Business As Usual is Cancelled
Our initial gut reaction is to retrofit our existing business model in an attempt to function within the disruption, hoping to "hang in there" until a return to business as usual".

Why All Broadcasters Are Not Created Equal:
Meet Terry Knight
I've yet to meet anyone like Terry Knight who knows everyone, everywhere and can accomplish anything - willingly and without hesitation. Couldn't ask for a better friend and ally in the midst of restructuring a half billion dollar REIT. As producer and marketing specialist, he's served Northern California KFBK listeners for 21 years, hosting the region's premier real estate talk show.

What Does it Take to be a Global Leader?
David P. Hanlon Has it All
I first met Dave in 2005 in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island while preparing a business plan for reviving the Royal Oasis Resort and Casino. To describe him then - and now - as anything less than the superhero of the hospitality industry would be akin to referring to Einstein as just another physicist.

Who is Ted Costa?
This article was originally published in 1994. I had the privilege and honor of serving on the board of People's Advocate (PA) with Ted for twelve years. I penned this early in my tenure with them.
To this day, Ted has continued to serve as an invaluable resource for the people, the press and even the politicians.
"Well, the goals of People's Advocate (PA) are really this. Paul (Gann) laid them down, he said that when he went to the capitol and he looked around, he saw every special interest was represented there. He saw the unions were represented, the corporations were represented, local governments were represented- it's big business for local governments to lobby the state. All the special interests had their lobbyists at the state capitol. So he said, "The people need their advocate".- Source: California State Archives State Government Oral History Program, Interview with Edward Costa, 1990.

Don't Let Technology Get in the Way
of the Human Factor: Gord Kilarski
Circa 1988. This is a fuzzy photo poorly captured by Yours Truly. But the message couldn't be more clear. And it was my co-conspirator, Gord Kilarski, Supervisor of Computer Information Services (CIS), who set out to prove some 30 years ago, that technology and business were more than kissing cousins. Circa 2020. Business disruptions and the digital age.
