The author, Jerry Torres, created Enterprise Transformation Methodology (ETM) and the practices described in this book through his successes leading transformational Business Reengineering (BRE) and Information Technology (IT) programs with Fortune 500 and Blue-Chip businesses, US and foreign governments and armed forces, and humanitarian and environmental programs on five continents. Jerry applied the methods in this book to build his own global award-winning business from scratch that generated nearly $1 billion with over $2.5 billion in continuous government and commercial contracts and nearly 8,600 employees on five continents in ten years. He also applied these same methods to build an AI and Cyber Investigation and Intelligence firm that is today combating and defeating criminal cartels, drug traffickers, human traffickers, organized gangs and terrorists around the world. He is a retired US Army Green Beret and leader of humanitarian aid and environmental protection programs in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Middle East. Jerry began working at nine-years when he and his brother Russell dug nightcrawlers for fishing bait shops and delivered newspapers on their paper routes. Then throughout his teens he bucked hay bales for farmers and ranchers, picked apples and sorted potatoes in the fields of agriculture concerns, worked as a construction and demolition laborer on construction and demolition sites, collected and hoisted garbage cans on garbage trucks, and cleaned offices as a night janitor and washed dishes as a busboy until he joined the US Army at 18.
