Mission Alignment

Recently the mission of Legume Technologies has been defined as:

  • To use the Legume Information Design Method for the good of others.
  • To enable others to do the same.

In support of this mission I modified "Taste" to reflect a balanced three-fold "What I Do" thrust:

  • Consultant - create Legumes
  • Coach - help others create Legumes
  • Collaborator -- work with business partners developing commercial applications

This brings more focus as we move forward.
Check out the updated "Taste of Legume" webBook, eBook, and vBook.

Commercializing Legume Information Design Method

Taste of Legume has undergone another major iteration focusing on commercializing the Legume Information Design Method.  This begins with a clear statements of "I have created the Legume Information Design Method." and "I have created a product that implements this method."  The "Problem Solved" statement  is expanded to focus on "people overwhelmed when accessing information."  The solution is breaking information into digestible chunks and presenting them in multiple forms with a "common user experience" independent of the form of access.  Finally there is a clear statement about looking for a commercialization collaborator.

As "Taste" continues to iterate, what I am looking for becomes more clear.  The opportunity in December to present the "elevator speech" for the instructors and my peers at the University of Cincinnati Commercialization Workshop was quite helpful in providing "what I hear you saying" insights.  This input is reflected in the current pass.

Your comments and insights are welcomed and valued.
