ORIGINAL MISSION:

  1. Identify Important Knowledge Domains:
    Focus on fields in which visual representations can significantly enhance the understanding of complex concepts.
    Identify the critical facets of visually-presentable knowledge.

  2. Collaborate with Experts:
    Work iteratively with leading experts in these fields to reach a consensus on the most effective way(s) to visually represent key concepts and processes.

  3. Develop Exemplary Media:
    Design and implement memorably excellent Learning Objects that are both functionally useful and aesthetically impactful.
    If the medium allows, incorporate interactive elements to deepen understanding through engagement, thereby dramatically increasing the learnability of the information presented.

ELEVATED MISSION:

Company-Led Knowledge Transfer

Foster an ecosystem where companies become the primary drivers of educational content, illuminating the core principles that underpin their industries. This initiative aims to transition from the conventional university-led knowledge dissemination to a more agile, company-driven model.

By doing so, we enable firms to take the reins of industry influence, attract high quality humans, spark curiosity, fuel innovation, and shape the future of their industry.


Learning from Past Mistakes

The most significant errors in the past approach were:

    1) Restricting the original scope to providing media for Academia.
    2) Being too easily discouraged by rejection.
    3) Being insufficiently focussed, being distracted by paid work that was unrelated to the original mission.


At the time, Universities were perceived as 'Temples of Learning' for which the pursuit of knowledge was the prime motivating force.

They are, in fact, primarily businesses for which the main service offering is the provision of lectures, lab-based guided experimentation, examination and branded credentialing.
They are focussed on orchestrating vertically-integrated ecosystems in which academics and industry practitioners would present excellent curated knowledge resources and investigate the outer reaches of advanced knowledge via research programs.

Their success depended on being the best at providing such ecosystems.

Outputting high quality fundamental knowledge media was not in their immediate interest (with some exceptions at the very top Universities)...   That was the job of the traditional publishing industry.



Credentialed knowledge in the age of AI

 

The best Universities will always play a vital role in high-level education, especially in subjects for which large curricula must be delivered and credentialing must be done in-person.

However, for learners who seek mastery, academic institutions can be relatively passive.  
By comparison, companies are vibrant hubs of activity, united by a common purpose and driven by the need to produce market-ready products. Their intrinsic esprit-de-corps and the serious consequences of non-productivity make companies ideal vehicles for inspiring knowledge acquisition.

Embracing the Future of knowledge transfer, those who believe that companies with dynamic drive and productive workforces will be ideally suited to provide knowledge acquisition opportunities for the best upcoming practitioners - and act on that belief - will gain a disproportionate advantage over the coming decade.

In retrospect:

It took years to realise that the traditional academic publishing industry was not going to be inspired by the early example set by MS-Encarta or the output of any digital studio, but being active in the creation of high quality digital media for so long has been a privilege.

Profound thanks and gratitude to Dr A.S. and Dr J.C. for their guidance and for presenting the opportunities that were so instrumental in setting out on this journey in '99.
