About Brian and b4man consulting

Who is Brian?

To be concise, I am a husband, father, doctor of education, reader, writer, thinker, backpacker, runner, duke hoops junkie, ordained minister, and generally a person who looks at the world and cannot ignore that it isn’t the world I want to hand down to your children or mine.

A bit more, I spent the first 17 years of my professional life working in a program driven organization, where silos were an easy way of doing business. But easy is not best, and we had to work hard at connecting our areas of influence among 1000 volunteer members.  Ideas were the glue that held us together, even the discarded ideas served the purpose of drawing us together.

From that experience, I realized that organizations need ideas. Ideas that bridge gaps within and to the community.  Ideas that create new programs, curriculums and initiatives. Ideas that build new products. Ideas and creativity are a new capital, does your organization have enough?
