Maybe you have some stuff in your company that you or others do manually every day and then and it is very... cumbersome and lot's of writing and also may not be forgotten. This could be a thing you could make a shell script for running by cron or called on prompt, whatever. Think about what could be automated nicely by a shell script in your company.

Also maybe you browse this and get some ideas:
Heiner's SHELLdorado

Maybe you get a good book about shell scripting and work this through so you will be guided by good efficient style and still can get some new ideas.
