Creativity is a key for a successful consultant. Creativity in finding work year after year, creativity in preparing proposals, creativity in negotiating contracts and creativity in solving problems i.e.meeting the clients objectives .The speakers will review some established techniques for enhancing creativity such as lateral thinking, brainstorming, oblique strategies, mind maps, idea pads and lead a discussion with the audience as what has worked for them so we can all benefit from each others successes and failures.


Dr. Roman Bielski, present Chair of CCN, has been a chemical consultant for a dozen years. In the process he developed a formulation for an oral device, new reactions for synthesizing sugars, a technology to transform tires and other polymers into fuels, carbohydrate waste into HMF and other technologies. He co-edited two books and publishes while being a consultant. He is an expert in phase transfer catalysis, organic and polymer syntheses, formation of fuels from wastes, green chemistry and applications of polymers including micro and nanoencapsulation.


Dr. John Newport, immediate past Chair of CCN, provides consulting and R&D services through Chemventive LLC and ChemInnoLab LLC, in which he is a partner. Previous to this he was a Senior Research Fellow at Hercules Incorporated where, in his 34 year career there, he worked on the R&D side of the fibers, film, RIM, resins and paper chemicals businesses. His areas of expertise cover polymer chemistry, surface chemistry, emulsions, rheology and transport phenomena.
