Developed the Pocket Wisdom Insights (PWI) Collaboration Laboratory (Co-Lab™) Institute
Oct 2018 – Present
Project description:
A Co-Lab™ Institute is likened to what every successful company has – a board of directors. It follows proven principles of a board that brings together heritage and legacy. The “selected mini board of directors” of a Co-Lab™ are supported by Pocket Wisdom Insights so people can become effective communicators and goal orientated implementers in a board atmosphere that provides monitoring and guidance – to teach monitoring and guidance.
- Private Branded Co-Lab™ institutes are predefined entities that build collaboration and empowerment within organizations and community cultures
- Co-Lab™ Institutes are designed and structured to provide organizations and community cultures with the tools to more effectively communicate and engage
- Co-Labs™ are designed to be Self-funding – Self-perpetuating – Self-regulating
Developed the Pocket Wisdom Insights (PWI) Collaboration Laboratory (Co-Lab™) Platform
Sep 2016 – Present
Project description:
Through Collaboration – Productivity Multiplies
The Co-Lab™ platform is a diverse collection of integrated technologies. Under the control of a Co-Lab™, previously diverse platforms function seamlessly as one to achieve a consolidated vision and purpose.
- Problem – Answer, Implementation
- Perception – to see all the facts
- Thinking – to connect all the facts
- Creativity – to rearrange the connections
- Communication – to inform and engage all stakeholders
- Data Science – to collect and provide sentience feedback to all stakeholders
- Collaboration is a process of recognizing the real Problem, defining an Answer and developing a solution to implement the answer in a way supported by all stakeholders
- Publishing using dynamic relational models, storytelling and Socratic conversation
- Intelligent support to maintain the continued implementation of the agreed answer
The Co-Lab™ platform itself is a technology in which we take multiple specialized systems and connect them together under a single app to create a seamless, fully integrated ecosystem.
- Desktop
- Server
- Web apps
- Cloud apps
- Azure apps
- Azure Data Science
- Azure Artificial Intelligence
A single, easy to use desktop app (Co-Lab™) controls all of it. This app, called a Personal Dashboard, was in fact created by a Co-Lab™, using the tools, architecture and technology insight inherent in this platform. Thus, the platform itself was self-replicating.

Re-Searching: Grand Mal Seizure Resolution was Found Using PWI Co-Lab™ Methodologies and Computer-delivered EMDR Principles
1997
Project description:
Implemented: Create a Team Culture with Personal Learning Technology™ for the whole family
Results:
As you know, Ian has had problems with seizures. He was having an average of one seizure every 2 months when we began your program last May. While we had undertaken a multidisciplinary approach with him in the past, it was your work that must be credited with having the most profound affect on his recovery. It is an understatement to say we were astounded and pleased when Ian went 7 months before having another episode…. Interestingly, the seizure he experienced in December was a wake-up call for us as we had slacked off on his program. It was a call to arms that got us back on the right track. However, I did not fully appreciate how significant a role Parallel Learning played in Ian’s recovery until this past week.
