The late Bill Cope was a partner at Synectics,
and developed his own “Results-oriented Innovation”
technique, in which I have advanced training. Bill was also a teriffic mentor.
Bill was very proud of his last web site, for which he used visual persuasion techniques developed by Ron Richards of ResultsLab. (I implemented Ron’s specific requirements in the design of Bill’s site).
Bill asserted that he and Cavas Gobhai were the “two best solution facilitators in the world.” |

The inventors who first studied their innovation process
were part of the Invention Design group of Arthur D. Little.
Their method was spun off by the late George Prince and Vince Nolan,
and the resulting company is Synectics. |

David is one of the most talented and innovative designers I know.
And he understands that good design facilitates clear communication. David did the design for achlaw.com, which contains the best market positioning statement I’ve ever seen. The law firm “other lawyers would hire if they got busted.” Boom. |

Guy Kawasaki was
a fellow at Apple before helping to found garage.com,
which is now Garage Technology Ventures in Silicon Valley. I
highly recommend his book The Art of the Start, and his
blog. |

Seth Godin has
written a definitive book, The Idea Virus, and it covers so
much more than viral marketing. And, like all good viral ideas,
