I build businesses using value-driven innovation to create incremental lifts in recurring revenue and company valuation. I can help plan your MVP, decide what to test and how to make sense of the results - or I can create sustainable long term initiatives (that actually get built) for established companies.

What tools do designers use to produce usage animations when a mobile app is still in infancy (i.e., mockups, composites, prototyping)?

I'm a big fan of InVision for clickable prototypes. You can string together static screens with hotspots that can look and feel like a mildly interactive site depending on the level of fidelity you're looking for. I've built many demos using this service. Clients respond well to the interface and developers understand what happens when you click different links. Let me know if you'd like to know more.

As for quickly mocking up a video, you can hack together a quick version using Powerpoint (set timed transitions for slides) and add music or voice overs using iMovie.

Quicktime also has an out of the box screen recording option that can supplement the above options.

Above all, be sure you have use case defined in a script with linear flows articulated via screens.

My biz want to keep Pizza Pizza delivery driver and end customer in touch. Can automated dispatching systems accomplish task or human call center?

It depends on what sort of communication you'd like to have between the driver and customer. SMS is a passive route that requires the least effort from both parties and can have automatic event triggers (e.g. you're pizza is on its way)or direct communication in short bursts. I've had good experience with Twilio as a provider for SMS messages.

I have spent a great deal of time working on the things that that matter the most to my business with Scott. He has always had the ability to creatively foster the conversations that start high level and work them into mid-stream tangibles that people can interact with and make decisions with. I think those skills are, without a doubt, enough to fill most peoples expectation bucket. It would be selling Scott very short if I left it there.

Scott doesn't make to-do lists. He makes them go away.

Scott takes the leap and timelines the next steps, makes the connections between what is and isn't available, sources the tools, works natively in all of the most powerful creative (read: Adobe Ninja) and project management environments to turn things that hit a white board on Monday into the smooth work flows for the Dev team on Wednesday.

Intellectually confident, happy, interesting, and able to take the soapbox or stage to support his ideas. I was lucky to have him on my team. Above all Scott is ethical and honest.

I would not hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone who was interested.

Scott is a tycoon of of project management and creative development. His skills in distilling high level direction into well incremented steps toward a successful outcome is what defines his echelon.

Scott has a holistic view that spans layout, user interface, understanding the detailed interactions between front-end and back-end of high functioning technology products.

Calm, personable, and unifying are solid descriptors of Scotts comportment. Look for him to give his well considered opinions in a way that makes everyone listen- and then agree. A true asset.
