| Introduction to InfoQual
InfoQual is the independent R&D consulting vehicle of Simon J. Hill, who is currently VP of Web Business Innovation at SpireMedia, Inc, in Denver, Colorado. Most of the services described on this Web site are now integrated, or in the process of being integrated, into SpireMedia's strategic practice and any enquiries about them should be addressed to Spire (Web Strategy, Mobile Strategy, Stakeholder Analysis, Competitive-Gap Analysis, Product Innovation, Experience Gap-Analysis, Project Management). I preserve this entity, along with my blog, as a copyright, incubation and test platform for my R&D efforts in the area of Web Business consulting.
InfoQual offers a suite of innovative management-consulting services designed specifically for inventing, assessing, and improving online businesses. My services are aimed at projects large and small, for new or existing corporate ventures or start ups.
Background
My services, outlined below, are the result of 12 years of practice and innovation in the field of web-business strategy, design, and development.
My practice over the past 12 years has included many startups and Fortune 1000 companies, spanning the U.S. and U.K. markets (see
About Me & My Clients for more information).
My innovations have included the first comprehensive, integrated, and practical application of the sciences of open systems to the creation and development of "virtualized" organizations. The fundamental disciplines I employ in my services—what makes my services special, unusually effective, and unlike anyone else's—include General Systems Theory, Cybernetics, Information Theory, Communication Theory, and Developmental-Stage Theory.
