Innovation creates;

One of the common questions that gets asked as people talk is “What do you do?” I think most of us know what we do, and can explain it to people. However, after you talk to people can they tell their friends what you do. I have been trying now for six months to get it to the next level. Now I think I have it.

So when people ask me what I do I can tell them, “I am a business consultant that increases productivity and lowers labor costs.”

These seam like they would not go together. That is where the magic of innovation comes in.  The first and most critical step for innovation is “asking questions.”  Such as; “How can we do this better?” “How can we do this faster?”  “Why am I doing it like this?” “What does the customer want?”

The next step, and the most powerful, is listening to the answers.  Without listening innovation will never live.  This is also the phase of innovation that involves creating the plan of action.

Next is ACTION,  this is where experimentation puts new innovation into play and where the results are found, tested, and improved.  This is the exciting part,  whether it’s a success or failure.  Like Thomas Edison, you must be prepared to fail.  Learning comes from failure and should be expected.   Failure should be also be painful, pain is what we learn from. I have spent more than 20 year experimenting, feeling the pain and finding what works.   Good planing and experience can avoid experimentation and pain.

Once the learning is complete this where companies pull ahead of their competition and win the day.   Increasing productivity and lowering labor cost are big parts of helping companies find the win.

With my 20 years of experience(from experimentation and pain) I can help significantly reduce
