tools the same as
Manual-workers need ‘physical productivity’ tools. Our flagship product, MindSights™, is such
a Thinkware tool. It offers a revolutionary
approach for improving individual thinking productivity and harnessing the
collective intelligence of teams. It works by providing individuals or teams with what we call a
‘facilitated thinking’ environment. This software environment emulates a
human facilitator. It essentially provides intellectual guidance and support
similar to the way consultants, trainers and facilitators function. The Gartner IT research group said: “Facilitated Thinking Environments is a BIG
idea, one the world needs!” It is without peer … Not Oracle, SAP nor even Microsoft is prepared to enable better
knowledge-worker thinking.

What people are saying “Thinklets are a very powerful concept. They allow the user
to break down their thinking processes into component parts. You’ve used the
“thinklet” concept as your organizing tool for the literature. The literature
is helpful to the degree the practitioner can connect it to the
problem/question at hand. The “thinklet” is the connector. Now we can
readily link to resources to assist in the process of thinking through,
preparing for, and facilitating of the problems solving process. Thank
you.” Professor Dan Folkman
– Chair for the Center for Urban Community Development, MindSights provides two fundamental
benefits: 1) Provides the user with an
array of thinking strategies (processes or frameworks) to organize relevant
problem solving information and 2) Provides the user with selectable mind-focusing
tools (thinklets) that stimulates creative analysis to augment problem
solving and arrive at thoughtful conclusions.” Professor Frank Groom - Center for Information and Communication
Sciences. “The most used element of MindSights is Analyze-It. Students in there case study analysis
and presentation have used tools like SWOT Analysis, Deviation
Analysis, Cause and Effect, and Gap Analysis. Next semester they will be
using FMEA and others. Their comments have been very favorable. MBA and
several other majors could benefit from this great tool.” Professor Frank Chelko – Quality
Manufacturing Management “Basically, it is 10,000 pages of intellectual property
that Dennis has captured and made very accessible to people who are involved
in facilitation, planning meetings and making decisions, so it has a wide
range of applications and customers,” said Robert Beard, co-director of the
San Diego-based Strategic Solutions Center for Science Applications
International Corp. (SAIC), an employee-owned research and engineering firm.
“I found it a very good source for the kinds of information I need to do
facilitation and meeting planning.” “While working with students in direct instruction,
MindSights enables us to provide a framework for the students and the
teachers to organize their thoughts for their learning and investigation,”
said Tim Gavigan, executive director for CESA #1. “MindSights is a template
for a student who is learning to do critical thinking, project management, to
hold meetings, organize themselves for meetings, it is very helpful in that
arena.” He has packaged the most complete set of processes I've ever seen anybody
package in my life - I can't believe anybody has done this," said Luis
Solis, president and chief executive officer of Group Systems Corp. in Group Systems, a private company that markets collaborative thinking software to help groups work more productively in real-time, anonymous Internet or face-to-face sessions, is considering using Heindl's software in its products, Solis said. |
