Connections

If it's really true that we're 'known by the company we keep', these pages are an opportunity to get to know us better, much better.

MindServe is constantly on the lookout to catch great organizations and people in the 'act' of:

• Doing the right things right
• Finding courage to go beyond the ordinary
• 'Imagineering' wildly successful projects and 'ways'
• Deploying outrageously powerful, but simple technology
• Expanding their horizon to deliver real and unquestionable value to their customers
• Focusing on powerful learning through multiples of media
• Innovating to seriously touch the minds of students, educators, and beyond...
  

Why do we do this? More importantly, why do they do what they do? The answer is straightforward and simplistic, but not simple.

They do what they do because they must. It's in their nature to learn from each other, to grow, to succeed, and to exceed even their own expectations for delivering a world class customer experience.

Explore with us now some truly best in class situations, their people, and their special gifts we've encountered along the way.

A Beautiful Mind
http://www.abeautifulmind.com/

The smash hit movie, A Beautiful Mind has one of the most powerful and moving uses of Flash in a website we've seen to date. But that's not the point. Well, not really. Go to their site and click 'Enter the Site'. After the opening animation, place your cursor in the middle of the screen and gently 'lean' left to scroll until you reach the 'Formulas' section. Select 'Genius Resources'. Inspiration^® is listed as a Genius Resource. We're not surprised, are you?

Allen Communications
www.allencomm.com

Tenure, in the eLearning space, defines a vendor. A year in eLearning is like 'ten' in just about any other industry. Allen is pushing 24 years developing which means they were there at the very beginning of using computers to train. This is significant. When they approach clients their depth of experience impacts just about everything but especially their client experience. Their courseware is world class, clients are gold plated, and their process is unique. Check out their site to witness their special insight in working with their clients, and beyond.

AlphaSmart
www.alphasmart.com

Two Apple engineers founded this company in 1992. According to them they produce 'affordable, portable personal learning solutions for the classroom'. According to us they produce wonderfully rugged useful computing devices running on the Palm OS^® In fact, we'd call them a 'Palm on steroids'. If you've ever used a Palm Pilot and wished you had a real keyboard to go with it, these machines are nothing short of 'magic'. And of course Inspiration for Palm OS^® works on the AlphaSmart machines really well because of the larger, wider screens. We see huge potential for these machines, and not just in education.

ASTD
http://www.astd.org

ASTD (American Society for Training & Development) is unique organization for anyone interested in the real world of training. In fact, as the world's largest association dedicated to workplace learning and performance professionals.

Barak Rosenshine
University of Illinois

Dr. Rosenshine is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Illinois. Beyond his extensive bibliography, two articles are of particular interest to us. His Advances in Research on Instruction provides an excellent summary of the most important instructional advances in the last 30 years.

Funded by the British government, the site contains an impressive collection of fresh research about the use of technology in the classroom. Looking for some of the best and latest 'edu-tech' news? This site could be one of your first stops.

Change This
http://www.changethis.com/

It's a non-profit engine for disseminating ideas. Imagine that? Beautifully created downloads of persuasive arguments for change is what this is all about. We have yet to discern they have any particular agenda other than reason, clarity, and a noticeable avoidance of tradition. Check out Scott Berkun's article on How to Manage Smart People. It's a great example of the site's special quality of thought. The original idea behind ChangeThis came from Seth Godin.

CognitiveArts
www.cognitivearts.com

This development firm is an outgrowth of the Institute for Learning Sciences (ILS) at Northwestern University. Founded by Roger Schank, the Institute was funded by Anderson Consulting and others to determine the best potential use of computers to train. Some truly important discoveries came out of the ILS work, such as people 'learn by doing' computer based scenarios. The Institute has educated countless senior design folks currently in senior design positions, both in the US and abroad. CognitiveArts, does extremely high quality work.

Chuck Goldstone Communications
http://www.goldstonecom.com/cg_pages/home.html & http://www.chuckgoldstone.com

Chock full of intentional and surprising wit, Chuck weaves his story like a tapestry of good cheer. Both just happen to be some of the coolest sites we've seen to date. Visit, linger, smile a lot.

Daniel Pink
http://www.danpink.com/

Dan's new book, A Whole New Mind (Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age) provides some sturdy handrails for getting along in a growingly complex world. His insights are unique, if not staggering. His point? The linear, logical, rigidly left brain prowess that's been brought us to where we are, will pale to the rise of right brain qualities such as inventiveness, creativity, and the like. Tom Peters (from the liner notes) suggests “we just may have discovered our Copernicus from the brave new age that's accelerating into being.”

We think Inspiration software could well be the new power tool for the emerging right brain digerati, and beyond.

DaVinci Group
http://www.davinciinstitute.com/

The DaVinci Institute began as the brainchild of Thomas Frey, a seasoned entrepreneur and one of IBM's most decorated idea laureates. They describe themselves: 'Launched in 1997 as a non-profit futurist think tank, the Institute has emerged as a center of visionary thought, attracting both a national and international following of idea junkies and business leaders alike. Unlike Leonardo DaVinci, the Institute set its sights on producing tangible results as opposed to just conceptual thinking. The founders decided that they didn't just want to talk about the future - they wanted to help unlock the future, one idea, one invention, one business at a time.' Visiting their site is a great way to stretch your thinking.

DreamFX Media
www.dreamfxmedia.com

The Best of the Best. Of course,we have a certain prejudice about Patrick John Eddy. Aside from being a classic 'renaissance man' and many things to many other people, he's also our WebMaster. The word Master doesn't exactly do him justice, but the quality of his work stands on its own. He's that good. Check out his quasi blog in our WebMaster section. We're lucky to have him as a partner.

Education Resources Information Center (ERIC)
www.eric.ed.gov

The Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education, produces one of the world's premier databases of journal and non-journal education literature.

More than 107,000 full-text non-journal documents (issued 1993-2004), previously available through fee-based services only, are now available for free. This is a truly great resource, and it's free.

Engines for Education
http://www.engines4ed.org/hyperbook/index.html

When Roger Schank started the Institute for Learning Sciences at Northwestern University , he began a not-so-quiet revolution in education and how we use computers to train. Engines is a "hyper-book" written by Roger Schank, former Director of ILS, and Chip Cleary, a former graduate student of Dr. Schank. It's about what's wrong with the education system, how to reform it, and especially, about the role of educational technology in that reform. This site has been up for many years and it's just as fresh today as it was way back when.

EPSS Central
www.epsscentral.info/

Some years ago, a group of pioneering individuals began to shape the disciplines of EPSS/PCD, Electronic Performance Support Systems and Performance Centered Design. These are fascinating concepts, well ahead of their time. This site is a set of free resources on the many disciplines that comprise performance centered design. Maintained by Gary Dickelman, EPSS Central includes references to cognitive science, usability engineering, agile development, information engineering and architecture, knowledge management, hypermedia engineering, content management, learning technologies, human factors engineering, and more. It's worth a visit to see how PCD can impact just about everything we do.

Expert Interactive
www.expertinteractive.com

Over the years we've seen a figurative PacMan™ played among eLearning vendors. It's the acquisition game: the large swallow the small, the small takeover the large, and so it goes. It can be for a lot of reasons. Lots of times it's done to acquire the clients. Nearly always, some of the best people escape to do other things and they coalesce. They coalesce into a formidable firm of highly experienced folks doing exactly what they like to do, and brilliantly. Expert Interactive is made up of those 'bests'. We have lots of respect for them, and for their work.

Eye Architect
www.eyearchitect.com

Dariane Hunt is a world class Web Designer and Information Architect, and it shows. She's web designer to a number of interesting clients, such as Edward Tufte and she does other things too, including developing user experience strategies, functional specs, user interface design, and a host of other things related to e-commerce consulting and implementation. Take a look at her visual explanations about information architecture; "There's no better way to explain information architecture than to visualize it. To this end, we have organized our Web site into 4 different architectures. Each architecture contains the same information structured, organized and presented in a different way." See for yourself what a difference each architecture makes to the content being displayed.

FiveStar Development
www.fivestardev.com

FiveStar is a cut above nearly every development house we've encountered. They describe themselves as solution accelerators and tout agility, speed and value as their value-add . It's a unique focus. Utilizing powerful learning technologies and change management methodologies, FiveStar can help your organization get smarter or understand how smart it already is. What they do goes way beyond impact training . And they make a big difference in just about anything that needs fuel to change. Have a look around at their client list. This group knows what they're doing. Simple as that.

FTC Publishing
www.ftcpublishing.com

FTC produces a variety to teacher technology aids to enhance just about any classroom experience. They're the creators of GameIt!, a unique collection of 12 different interactive game templates designed for use with Inspiration. They do something similar for PowerPoint called PowerPak. Both tools are as revolutionary as they are simple to use. Much of what's passed off here as for students and teachers is just as viable in the worlds of higher ed and the professions.

Glance Networks
www.glance.net

So you're having a conversation and you're describing what's on your screen, but your listener can't quite visualize. You say 'OK why don't I show you?' With Glance you can show your desktop. It takes about 15 seconds to go to your login, insert your password, and you're good to go. I've heard a people say 'well you're just doing 'x' or 'y' to show your desktop and there's a lot of them out there.' Maybe so, but none are this handy and simple to use. It's another example of 'outrageously powerful, but simple technology.'

Global Pace
www.globalpacesolutions.com

Gloria Gery & Associates
www.gloriagery.com/

Spend just 15 minutes with Gloria talking about systems, training, or performance centered design, and you'll know you're in the presence of a true Master. Years ago, when we were all just starting to use windows, Gloria was insisting that computer applications and interfaces be laid out in accordance with how people actually work, Seems obvious. But having experienced first hand what passed as great computer programs in the early 90's it's surprising how awful it can really get when developers decide about user interfaces without involving the people who actually have to use it. Gloria pioneered performance centered design and has had a huge influence on the training and performance communities. Her website is a wealth of information. She's been doing this since 1976.

Google Maps
http://maps.google.com

Type in your address, it draws a map. Neat. Click 'Satellite', and you get a (you guessed it) detailed, zoom-able satellite map. See for yourself.

Google Translator
http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en

Here's a perfect example of deploying outrageously powerful, but simple technology. Growing up, many of us remember Star Trek^® and their 'universal translator', that machine which allowed listeners to understand just about any language. Google's not quite there, but this translator is the best one we've seen.

Herrmann Group
www.hbdi.com

These folks have produced a questionnaire that creates insight into how people think, how they learn, and how they communicate. Founded by Ned Herrmann the Brain Dominance Instrument^® produces a full mapping of individual brain preferences with some staggering and predictable results. Having met Ned personally over 25 years ago, I can tell you his work calls to mind any number of superlatives. If you've ever wanted to predict how people and organizations will behave, invest some time in understanding who these guys are, and what they do.

His latest book, "Da Vinci Decoded," taps into the seven Da Vincian principles outlined in "How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci" to show readers how to cultivate spiritual potential. Aside from his books, check out his site articles. Many of them are truly classic. ThinkExist has a nice collection of his quotes too. All in all, Michael Gelb is someone worth reading and knowing.

Minding the Planet
www.novaspivack.typepad.com

Minding the Planet is the official site of Nova Spivac, grandson to Peter Drucker. Nova is a very bright boy. His site tackles a multitude of issues, scholarly, insightful, occasionally outrageous, it's definitely worth a regular visit. We especially like his treatise on the evolution of the web into the 'metaweb' utilizing memes as a conceptual framework. This is serious ontology. Here's the metaweb visual.

mindServegroup
www.mindservegroup.com

We typically think of ourselves as purveyors, purveyors of ideas and their visual representation. A shameless plug, perhaps, but we do have couple of developments we'd like to show you. Recently mindServegroup was listed in Seth Godin's new eBook, Bull Market, Companies That Can Help You Make Something Happen. Also, check out the HP MindServe success story.

MIT Open Courseware
http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html

MIT OCW is a large-scale, Web-based electronic publishing initiative funded jointly by the  William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the  Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and  MIT. What a great idea! Provide free, searchable access to all of MIT's course materials for educators, students and self-learners alike. Based on the concept of open courseware, more than 1100 courses have been published. MIT plans included an expansion of the rosters until 2007 when they expect the listing to stabilize. This is a surprising and totally unique perspective.

It's a great way to give your presentations a mental and visual boost.

Promethean USA
www.prometheanworld.com/n-america/en/

This new interactive whiteboard technology will become an integral part of classrooms, lecture halls, and even boardrooms. When? It's happening quickly and it's accelerating. The technology has been around for quite some time, but Promethean's integrated software takes it light years ahead of its competitors. If it's been a while since you've felt blasted by the power of some new type of technology, you're in for a treat. Once you've see it, blackboards will never look the same again.

Realized Performance
www.realizedperformance.com

In the last 10 years, performance consulting as a specialty has come into its own. In some important ways, it's a new 'skin' for what was once called management consulting but it tends to focus more on measurable results. And just as in management consulting (both large and small firms), you'll find as many pretenders as there are contenders . These guys are the real thing. And because of our affiliation, we've seen it first hand. Their work is straight forward, honest, and makes a real difference.

Seth Godin
www.sethgodin.com

Self proclaimed 'author and agent of change', Seth's publications just keep on coming. Having read his Permission Marketing many years ago we appreciate his unique perspective and special insight. We're also a big fan of his Unleashing the Ideavirus. And of course we like Bull Market 2004, Guidebook of 500 Innovative Companies since he mentions us in it . His books are all best sellers and for good reason. As an irreverent marketing philosopher, he brings real insight to bear.

Sparrow Interactive
http://www.sparrowia.com/

For years, most knowledge workers have had to explain why the graphics in eLearning leave so much to be desired. We've even been told that the research shows that rich, even gorgeous graphical treatments can be a detriment to learner retention. Imagine that? Why would you research something that's obviously wrong? For the first time since the days of CDROM and laserdiscs, we've found training developers with real savvy and graphics capability. Not only is their work simply drop-dead gorgeous , its information architecture and attention to best practices for learning create an especially desirable user experience. It's the best we've ever seen and (we think) it doesn't get much better than this.

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
http://plato.stanford.edu/

With three mirror sites around the globe, this Encyclopedia is a special treat, especially when you're looking for something related to ideas and their history. Years ago we only imagined what it would be like to type in a keyword and have these kinds of results at your finger tips. If you add favorites to your browser settings, this one could be on your list.

Strategic Transitions

Study Guides and Strategies
http://www.studygs.net/index.htm

If we could have three tools to get us through a formal education, they would be (in order of preference) a computer of sorts, Inspiration Software, and the url to Study Guides and Strategies . Created and maintained by Joe Landsberger, the subject matter of this site is unique, perhaps even one of a kind: how to learn how to learn. If Alvin Toffler is right about "the ability to learn, un-learn and re-learn will be a defining skill in the 21st Century," Joe's site is an essential.

Teacher Care and Development
http://www.vtaide.com/png/teacher.htm

The main site Parenting the Next Generation created and maintained by Alan and Hui Menghas ( Singapore ) presents variety interesting material about parenting and beyond. The Teacher Care and Development section contains an interesting selection of ERIC reports. We're intrigued by the concept of scaffolding instruction , the systematic sequencing of prompted content, materials, tasks, and teacher and peer support to optimize learning. Check out their preliminary report.

TechSmith
www.techsmith.com

Software developers would do well to emulate Techsmith in just about every facet of their organization. Quietly and without fanfare, they've wound their way into just about everyone's desktop with their screen capture software Snag-It. It's inexpensive, crisp, elegant, and it does exactly what it's designed for. We've used SnagIt for the better part of 10 years and wouldn't spend a computer day without it. Now that's marketing. or as J.J. Serré would say 'this software is so good, nobody has to sell it because when people see it, they just want it.' Camtasia is another of TechSmith's giant products.

Tom Peters!
www.tompeters.com

Make a list of the top thinkers and strategists you've ever met, read, or heard about. Better still; ask just about anyone you know to do the same. If Tom isn't on their list or your list, it's simply because you haven't met. From his books to lectures to even his blogs and downloads, if you need a fresh idea or a provocative statement, Tom Peters will provide. For years our browsers were set to open to Tom's home page. See for yourself what a difference this guy makes.

In the age of open source platforms, we really like the idea of open source information. Check it out. Make an edit!

William M Trochim
http://www.human.cornell.edu/che/bio.cfm?netid=wmt1
