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.<\/p>\n<p>So when people ask me what I do I can tell them, &#8220;I am a business consultant that increases productivity and lowers labor costs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These seam like they would not go together. That is where the magic of innovation comes in. \u00a0The first and most critical step for innovation is &#8220;asking questions.&#8221; \u00a0Such as; &#8220;How can we do this better?&#8221; &#8220;How can we do this faster?&#8221; \u00a0&#8220;Why am I doing it like this?&#8221; &#8220;What does the customer want?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The next step, and the most powerful, is listening to the answers. \u00a0Without listening innovation will never live. \u00a0This is also the phase of innovation that involves creating the plan of action.<\/p>\n<p>Next is ACTION, \u00a0this is where experimentation puts new innovation into play and where the results are found, tested, and improved. \u00a0This is the exciting part, \u00a0whether it&#8217;s a success or failure. \u00a0Like Thomas Edison, you must be prepared to fail. \u00a0Learning comes from failure and should be expected. \u00a0 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. \u00a0 Good planing and experience can avoid experimentation and pain.<\/p>\n<p>Once the learning is complete this where companies pull ahead of their competition and win the day. \u00a0 Increasing productivity and lowering labor cost are big parts of helping companies find the win.<\/p>\n<p>With my 20 years of experience(from experimentation and pain) I can help significantly reduce<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h1><strong><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">Innovation creates;<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>Increased Productivity<\/li>\n<li>Lower Labor Costs<\/li>\n<li>Motivated Employees<\/li>\n<li>Loyal Employees<\/li>\n<li>Happy Employees<\/li>\n<li>Happy Owners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,118],"tags":[65,66,89],"class_list":["post-145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-advice","category-web-technology","tag-image","tag-image-editing","tag-photoshop"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dmgsouth.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dmgsouth.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dmgsouth.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dmgsouth.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dmgsouth.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dmgsouth.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dmgsouth.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dmgsouth.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dmgsouth.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
