S1 What are MindSights
Facilitated Thinking Smartphone Apps? (top)
- By using smartphones as a real time delivery mechanism,
MindSights apps captures insights from your books, training material,
or tacit “memory” knowledge and surrounds it with actionable tools.
- Apps are designed
to engage the user at the moment and location where they could apply a
particular insight to help address a real-world challenge.
- A uniquely
developed 3D thinking emulation grid “thinklets” library stimulates
thinking in areas such as problem solving, innovation, critical
thinking, setting goals, systems and futures thinking, effective
management and virtually any thinking process.
- These Apps are not
an answer machine – but a thought provoker machine. Continued use creates new thinking
expertise.
- Using a 3D model of
“Thinking Points” users are guided to specific thought provokers that
should apply to their situation.
- Using “Thinking
Processes” they can navigate to the next or previous logical steps to
think through to an action (solution, decision, plan, answer …).
MindSights’ extensive
collection of thinking content and 3D Grid Technology is a perfect platform
for showcasing and extending your insights into smart phone apps.

S2 What’s the
value of Facilitated Thinking Smartphone Apps? (Value proposition) (top)
- Business, education
and self-help books (training, consulting, videos, etc.) contain great
lessons and insights – that’s why people read, take training and buy consulting
services!
- But … how many
really remember the lessons in their busy day-to-day lives?
- How many can easily
correlate the lessons to their own situations? In real time?
Through the magic of
smart phones and the extensive content of the MindSights Thinking Emulation
Grid, your clients can now apply your insights to their real world
challenges. On the spot. Now that’s
smart!

S3 How do your clients/users
use Apps? (top)
- Mostly
they will read your book, take your training or use your consulting
services FIRST … but MindSights offers a new way to consume your
intellectual property.
- Facing
a situation and (perhaps vaguely) remembering a lesson from you, the
user finds the App Collection on their smart phone menu
- Simple
touch navigation finds the relevant app and thought provoking help is
moments away in the form of probing Questions and drill down
Thinklets.
The user can
also store their own set of thought provoking questions for future
reference! In the future they will
be able to create a smart phone menu shortcut to directly access favorite
apps.
