The Fovea Group is so named because it is the part of the eye at the center of the macula which gives the sharpest vision. When we fixate or look directly at an object it is imaged on the fovea. The small sensitive area of the retina that gives central vision; contains the fovea.

The Fovea Group has been established as a Business and Communications Think Tank. Located on the Northern Olympic Peninsula, in downtown Sequim, we can reach out to our friends and colleagues via our wireless service and find answers to your questions and solutions to your business-related problems.  

It is the first virtual company of its kind in this geographic area. We help organizations like yours become more innovative and more creative. However, unlike many other companies, we help you harness the innovative and creative potential of the people in your organization, your customers, your suppliers and other business partners. 

We believe that every organization has a huge reservoir of creative talent. But, in many organizations innovative ideas are not being fully realized and communicated across the firm. 

We offer articles, tools and experts who can help you find and evaluate and implement  ideas. We do this with on line training, publications (including newsletters, list mailings, websites, video, graphics, slide shows, PowerPoint presentations, whitepapers or marketing pieces. We are not afraid to NOT take ourselves to seriously. Humor is an effective way to open the mind.  It is disarming, yet it gives people perspective.

Functioning as a network of technology workers, business men and women,  The Fovea Group is an idea incubator and a reactive body that picks up the thread, researches the topic, synthesizes the information and shares it with clients and colleagues.

We emphasize the use and application of informatics. Informatics is the "...interdisciplinary study of information content, representation, technology and applications, and the methods and strategies by which information is used in organizations, networks, cultures and societies."

Group participants and partners are linked together by the Internet, the telephone or closed circuit video conferencing.

When a face to face meeting is called for, we meet with clients at local NetPort sites or Pro Technology sites in Sequim and Port Angeles.

Our purpose is to enforce and demonstrate our belief in collaboration and formation of ad-hoc, peer to peer and "smart mobs" to solve problems, innovate and share knowledge in order to build our businesses and help others do the same.  

We do this work for public, private and nonprofit entities, stressing low-cost and easily maintained documentation and tools.

We specialize in Research, Creative Intelligence and Electronic Communications.
