Creativity, Innovation, Facilitation, Creative Catalyst, and a real Trained Brain

In the applied creativity world, Doug is considered a genius. One of the quickest thinkers I’ve ever seen, he’s also a good listener, is very collaborative and has formidable marketing instincts.

I marvel at Doug’s ability to see a situation in a totally different light, and with incredible insight and perception, come up with an idea that brings the room to a hush ... with everyone thinking ... "I wish I would/could come up with that idea, ‘cuz its so good."

The first thing that you notice about Doug is that he is effortlessly and prolifically creative. He's also fun and humorous, so he energizes and inspires those around him. He has a deep understanding of everything from quantitative & qualitative research, market analysis, problem definition, facilitation design & execution, concept writing & testing and the development of new product introduction strategies. He also knows group dynamics and knows how to build productive teams. He does it all.
