BW - Center for Innovation & Growth

Deb is one of the most creative, intelligent and engaged people I have ever worked with. She is a fearless thinker, sees the big picture while understanding the details. She has a unique ability to bring everyone along with her. Most important, she gets things done! If she promises, she will deliver...usually faster and more than promised. She is a great people connector and developer.

"Time is money," "you get what you pay for," "penny-wise pound foolish" "can't see the Forest for the trees" - we use idioms too easily or quickly express analysis, thoughts or ideas. All too often, these miss the point of the matter. Deborah Mills-Scofield doesn't use idioms or the quick turn of phase to express her thoughts nor does she miss the point of the matter, the future of your business.  Her analysis is honest, well thought out, based upon empirical evidence, expressed in understandable language and supported with reasoned logic.

I first met Deb when she gave a presentation at a Lorain County Manufacturing Council event last year. I was immediately impressed! Deb has the ability to captivate her audience with a unique blend of professionalism, insight and humor. I highly recommend Deb to anyone seeking success strategies for business growth and development.

Lubrizol

I have had the pleasure of working with Deb in the past on various innovation projects at Lubrizol. She is extremely gifted in taking complex ideas/challenges and netting them down into actionable schemes, initatives or product concepts that are understood by all. 

I strongly recommend her for risk-averse cultures that struggle with marketing and business development beyond their core competancies. Her experience brings instant credibility to highly skeptical audiences. And, she her knowledge and passion for innovation will motivate you beyond your own imaginations!
