Email Lee@PieGrowers.com PieGrowers.com provides a free online community with video stories on innovation and collaboration. Plus a platform for group discussion. Paid online training courses and certification will be available in the areas of CREATIVITY (explore, brainstorm, envision, strategize); ANALYSIS (define, organize, calculate, decide); and COLLABORATION (empathize, facilitate, negotiate, execute). The person being trained can expect to: - more accurately determine when win-win options are possible - more than double their number of possible solutions - thoroughly describe zero sum game parameters - empathize with others more quickly and easily - gain more intensity from followers when in leadership - negotiate with more confidence and more lasting results - define problems in more agile and productive ways - align project stakeholders by tailoring accommodations to their needs Pie Growers will be using electronic badge credentials to certify course completion. What is perhaps more exciting is that Pie Growers will issue badges for two other achievements, as well. 1. Significant work accomplishments, especially those related to Pie Growers' principles. 2. Community contributions, again in ways aligned with win-win successes. In these ways, Pie Growers will be encouraging awards that have less reliance on comparisons with other people. If a standard is met or behavior aligns with that of a defined vision, the person is recognized for the achievement.
