Along with my web development and design work, I am starting a new service – innovation consulting.

One talent I have always been proud of, is my ability to identify opportunities for innovating within business processes.

Until now, this talent has always been applied within companies I worked for, friends whom call me for advice on their businesses, and projects I intended to exploit myself.

As most entrepreneurs know, there are never enough hours in the day, or days in the week to capitalize on every great idea you have.

Saving them in a scrapbook it pointless, unless you know someday someone will benefit from the idea.

When companies like 37 Signals advertise their workshops, included in the description is usually a phrase like this, “this workshop is for managers, programmers, designers and even idea people”.

Thats me, an idea person. I have a talent for seeing across technological and company boundaries. FInding elegant pragmatic ways of overcome the challenges or unlock hidden opportunities.

• Why hasn’t spam been killed, using callbacks?
• Why hasn’t RSS replaced POP3 and SMTP in e-mail systems?
• When will companies stop trying to build accountability in every system?
• When will web applications set the time zone automatically based on IP address geolocation?
• Why isn’t the movie industry embracing technology an downloading porn to my mobile phone? (Solved)

These are fun and interesting problems to tackle. They intrigue me and get my brain buzzing.

I have provided countless innovations to companies I have worked for and with. The highlights include:

• Daily and Hourly inventory process in the fast food business
• Branding and production processes for printing products
• Same-day desktop publishing productions process
• PDF work-flows for digital printing
• Queued e-mail management for SMB Helpdesk/CRM
• Template-driven reminder service for the dental industry
• Report delivery system for Real Estate Appraisers
• Spam quarantine management systems

If you are looking for help on a existing project, need a new idea, or need a reality check for that crazy idea, give me a shout.
