This might be as much a progress report on our shift to a new business structure as a reality check.
Old Traditional Way (1976 to 2010)...
We have been a traditional od consulting firm since 1976. We found and serviced end clients with our own proprietary brand of technology - CapacityWare(TM) RGB Technologies.
Preparation for Transition (2000 to 2010)...
The most significant initiatives of this decade have been the programming of unique software, the creation and refinement of the client library, and the residency certification of an extended and independent network of client-service consultants. This effort has taken place at our home location - Hampton Roads, Virginia.
Transition to the New Consultancy Model (2010 to 2015)...
Here is the two-fold approach: extend certification to a national and global presence primarily with National Roadshow and global Internet connections, while shifting our service base from end-clients to those who have been certified to service end-clients. We've been doing it for some time with increasing success and we're ready to intensify the effort.

Summary
So, there you have it. The sift is by no means complete, but it has begun and with sufficient evidence of pay-back that it will continue and escalate. We are only two, but our approach to the new model is that we have a significant multiplier for our efforts. RoadShow engagements appear to be doubling in 2011. There has been firm interest in success in remote certification options that have only recently been offered. We have not arrived, but it is the journey toward an ambiguous destination that is the current thrill of our efforts (Blue statement for sure).Got a comment? Have a suggestion? Post it, please.
