Who We Are

The cover page displays an image of a classic children's toy - invented in 1931 with the intent of teaching hand/eye coordination to children. My set served me well -- so much more fun than stacking of simple blocks, and in current day represent integrated "team work" of proprietary G5.0 building modules which enable slick & quick assembly of lean, rapid no-code solutions not offered elsewhere. Why be a Blockhead when you can be a Circus Master orchestrating smart bots? FYI - you can still buy the classic "Bill Ding" toy set.

Garvin 5.0 marks the fifth iteration of Tom Garvin's professional year, no coincientally his fifth decade as an independent Business Intelligence / BI consultant. It is not a specific sotware product for sale, rather it is indicative of the hybrid nature of his practice incorporating unique IP software resources along with AI-Fortified integration and development skills. This is a solo consulting business model, not afilliated with any other "garvin' or "5.0" organizations and has never received a "Book 'em Danno" order. 

With five decades behind me, I have mastered five disciplines where a leading consultancy (not a direct competitor) fields and manages and bills 5X as Mckinsey pods, hoping for harmonious blending of skills an perceptions. 

While exact roles vary, pods typically include:

• Consultant(s) (strategy/business)
• Data scientists / engineers
• Designers or UX specialists
• Product owner / team lead

👉 The goal is to bring all needed skills into one team instead of splitting them across departments

This matches the broader definition of pods as cross-functional teams with diverse expertise working as one unit (Copilot) not yet aware of one coordinated resource such as Garvin 5.0
