We are strategically positioned within our 430,000 Microsoft Partner Network and within multiple marketplaces. We offer research, distribution, packaging and change management solutions that are measurable and scalable. Our success and market dominance is a result of the footsteps of our founder, <strong>Dr. Richard Jorgensen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Jorgensen comes out of the venture capital community, yet the length and breadth of his legacy and experience spans multiple industries. He is a man who has led many lives and seeks to leave the world in a better place than we are collectively heading. The principle power of the organization he built is that it is not dependent on any one person. Rather, the collective vision and the drive of the organization culture are what propel AwareComm forward. The development of this collaborative research environment has been one of intense research \u2013 field and theory.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<!-- MasterSlider -->\n\t\t<div id=\"P_MS69e8f6a196a8b\" class=\"master-slider-parent ms-parent-id-19\" style=\"max-width:1000px;\" >\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<!-- MasterSlider Main -->\n\t\t\t<div id=\"MS69e8f6a196a8b\" class=\"master-slider ms-skin-default\" >\n\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t \n\n\t\t\t<div  class=\"ms-slide\" data-delay=\"3\" data-fill-mode=\"fill\"   >\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/plugins\/masterslider\/public\/assets\/css\/blank.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"Slide9\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/Slide9-1.png\" \/>\n\n\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ms-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/Slide9-1-100x80.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div  class=\"ms-slide\" data-delay=\"3\" data-fill-mode=\"fill\"   >\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/plugins\/masterslider\/public\/assets\/css\/blank.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"Slide10\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/Slide10-1.png\" \/>\n\n\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ms-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/Slide10-1-100x80.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<!-- END MasterSlider Main -->\n\n\t\t\t \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- END MasterSlider -->\n\n\t\t<script>\n\t\t( window.MSReady = window.MSReady || [] ).push( function( $ ) {\n\n\t\t\t\"use strict\";\n\t\t\tvar masterslider_6a8b = new MasterSlider();\n\n\t\t\t\/\/ slider controls\n\t\t\tmasterslider_6a8b.control('thumblist'  ,{ autohide:false, overVideo:true, dir:'h', speed:17, inset:false, arrows:false, hover:false, customClass:'', align:'bottom',type:'thumbs', margin:10, width:100, height:80, space:5, fillMode:'fill'  });\n\t\t\t\/\/ slider setup\n\t\t\tmasterslider_6a8b.setup(\"MS69e8f6a196a8b\", {\n\t\t\t\twidth           : 1000,\n\t\t\t\theight          : 550,\n\t\t\t\tminHeight       : 0,\n\t\t\t\tspace           : 0,\n\t\t\t\tstart           : 1,\n\t\t\t\tgrabCursor      : true,\n\t\t\t\tswipe           : true,\n\t\t\t\tmouse           : true,\n\t\t\t\tkeyboard        : false,\n\t\t\t\tlayout          : \"boxed\",\n\t\t\t\twheel           : false,\n\t\t\t\tautoplay        : true,\n                instantStartLayers:false,\n\t\t\t\tmobileBGVideo:false,\n\t\t\t\tloop            : true,\n\t\t\t\tshuffle         : false,\n\t\t\t\tpreload         : 0,\n\t\t\t\theightLimit     : true,\n\t\t\t\tautoHeight      : false,\n\t\t\t\tsmoothHeight    : true,\n\t\t\t\tendPause        : false,\n\t\t\t\toverPause       : false,\n\t\t\t\tfillMode        : \"fill\",\n\t\t\t\tcenterControls  : true,\n\t\t\t\tstartOnAppear   : false,\n\t\t\t\tlayersMode      : \"center\",\n\t\t\t\tautofillTarget  : \"\",\n\t\t\t\thideLayers      : false,\n\t\t\t\tfullscreenMargin: 0,\n\t\t\t\tspeed           : 20,\n\t\t\t\tdir             : \"h\",\n\t\t\t\tresponsive      : true,\n\t\t\t\ttabletWidth     : 768,\n\t\t\t\ttabletHeight    : null,\n\t\t\t\tphoneWidth      : 480,\n\t\t\t\tphoneHeight    : null,\n\t\t\t\tsizingReference : window,\n\t\t\t\tparallaxMode    : 'swipe',\n\t\t\t\tview            : \"scale\"\n\t\t\t});\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\twindow.masterslider_instances = window.masterslider_instances || [];\n\t\t\twindow.masterslider_instances.push( masterslider_6a8b );\n\t\t});\n\t\t<\/script>\n\n\n<p>The processes, philosophy and tools that Dr. Jorgensen researched to build AwareComm\u00ae into the self-funding, self-regulating and self-perpetuating organization it is, are the same tools offered and delivered today.
