Our Approach
America's Roadmap to creating Prosperity is through Leadership, Innovation, Operations, Security and enabling Technologies at the personal, business and public levels. This innovation is not limited to technological innovation. It spans Leadership, Entrepreneurial, Management and Technical Innovations as well. Technological Innovations are simply enablers of other innovations that make our lives better. America's Roadmap is about using principles of innovation to further innovation itself. One of the major tools of innovation is Perspective Building. This is the process of expanding and developing a more accurate world view with the purpose of innovating to make our lives better. Perspective Shifting is one way to both expand and increase the accuracy of ones world view. JohnPotes.com is the platform for our Principle Innovation and Technology Consultant, John Potes, to challenge your world view in Public Policy as he challenged himself in developing America's Roadmap. In the development of America's Roadmap, he shifts his perspective to that of President Of The United States (POTUS). This perspective is enhanced by further Perspective Shifting. If he was POTUS, he would want to include as many other perspectives as possible to achieve a solution that works for as many Americans as possible. This site explores the solution he developed during this process.
JohnPotes.com's Story
The creation of JohnPotes.com was inspired by knowledge developed over years of participating in global electronics contract manufacturing merger, acquisition, and new business opportunities as the Information Technology Lead or supporting team member.
Participating in these endeavors utilized not just his Information Technology expertise, but his background in business and continuous improvement. When the team would gather to work through the details of an opportunity, he understood most of the details discussed by the functional representatives gathered around the table. He came to fully appreciate all the factors that were taken into consideration in selecting the location of manufacturing and how even very small differences could sway the decision of where to manufacture.
Repeatedly, the subjects of taxes and regulation in relation to the total cost of the proposal came up in discussing the potential manufacturing site locations around the globe. Even if the company he worked for had the best factory in the world to make a particular product from speed of delivery, quality, and manufacturing cost perspectives, it was possible it would lose the contract because it was located in the wrong country from a tax and regulatory perspective making the total cost proposition a losing bid.
This lit a fire in him to understand in detail all the ways an individual, business, or nation could improve their competitive position. JohnPotes.com was created to inform and offer solutions to American businesses and workers that show America’s Roadmap to Prosperity is through Innovation and Technology that increases productivity, adds value, and creates competitive advantages to win sales and earn profits.
JohnPotes.com poses the question: "What would you do if you were President Of The United States (POTUS)" to explore the role of Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) of the nation and what it takes to develop an Innovation and Quality (IQ) Culture sufficiently strong enough to realize your Innovation and Technology (IT) Vision for the nation. These learning experiences can then be applied to your business or personal lives.
