    Pre Intro:
    Subject: A Unique Approach to Business Technology Strategy

    I’d like to introduce you to Rob Broadhead, founder of RB Consulting. I’ve seen firsthand how his structured approach to technology assessment and planning helps businesses reduce complexity, streamline operations, and position for growth.

    What makes RB Consulting different?
    • Efficient & Practical: Engagements like the 4-hour technology assessment deliver actionable insights and a roadmap without wasting time or budget.
    • Broad Experience: Rob has worked with organizations of all sizes—from startups to Fortune 500 companies—bringing cross-industry best practices.
    • Vendor-Agnostic Strategy: Recommendations are always objective and focused on what’s best for the business, not tied to specific products or platforms.
    • Scalable Support: Whether you need a fractional CIO, a project-specific advisor, or a full systems audit, RB Consulting adapts to your needs.
    • Proven Impact: Clients walk away with clarity, a prioritized plan, and measurable steps forward that lead to tangible ROI.

    If you’d like, I’d be glad to introduce you to Rob so you can explore how RB Consulting might help your business leverage technology more effectively. He’s deeply committed to ensuring every solution is efficient, scalable, and aligned with business goals.
  • What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
    I love solving problems, and doing so for others brings me the most joy. I do what I do because I can help others enjoy their work and life more.
  • Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
    “Do you feel your technology is supporting your business goals, or slowing you down?”
    “Are you evaluating new tools, or do you need help picking the right vendors?”
    “Is your tech environment ready to handle growth or expansion plans?”
  • Unique Selling Proposition
    RB Consulting stands out because we bring a rare blend of deep technical expertise and business strategy. Unlike vendors who push specific tools or consultants who stay at 10,000 feet, you provide:
    1. Vendor-Agnostic Guidance
    – You don’t sell products, so every recommendation is aligned with the client’s goals, not a sales quota.
    2. Fast, Actionable Insights
    – Your 4-hour assessment produces a tangible roadmap, giving executives clarity without a long, expensive engagement.
    3. Fractional CIO Leadership
    – You provide executive-level IT strategy at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, bridging the gap between tactical IT and strategic business growth.
    4. Cross-Industry Experience
    – With 30+ years spanning startups to Fortune 500s, you bring best practices and lessons learned that clients can apply immediately.
    5. Focus on Simplification, Integration, and Automation
    – Instead of adding complexity, you help clients reduce noise, connect systems, and free people to focus on growth.
  • About me
    I am a seasoned software developer, technology strategist, and entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience designing, building, and leading software projects across industries and platforms. From enterprise systems to custom solutions for startups and small businesses, I have worn many hats — including architect, director of development, database administrator, and mentor — always focused on delivering practical, effective solutions.

    A passionate educator and mentor, I founded Develpreneur.com in 2016 to help developers grow in their careers. Through blog posts, courses, and The Develpreneur Podcast, he shares hard-earned insights and practical advice focused on growth, leadership, and lifelong learning. My personal life is also full as I have 7 grown children, love to play ice hockey and handball, often dance with my wife at venues around town (including enjoying food and drinks) and spend plenty of time planning travel around Europe.
