BCSW Building Competitive Services & Wares

We focus on developing New Ways of Thinking Inside and Outside the Box to build Competitive Services & Wares.  Metaphors for the 21st Century (M21C) are the tools we use in workshop and coaching sessions.  You can get more information in our brochure and our thinking at bcswonline.blogspot.com (index of blogs).  If you would like to learn more about our services please contact us.

The tools we use have evolved in the founder's mind over twenty years while working in industry, education and community.  These tools are wrapped under the umbrella of Metaphor's for the 21st Century (M21C).  A subset of these metaphors are shown in the rotating banner.  For a description of some of these click here >>.

Entrepreneurial PIE Teams brings to the table a view that we must have a proactive approach to creation of jobs. Drawing on Metaphors from M21C thinking, the concept of planting PIE Teams is a proactive way to get people thinking about the primary functions that create Things and therefore Jobs. A graphic expresses this with emphasis on hands and fingers. A new metaphor for the six hat team is presented using the fingers of a hand and the arm to represent essential functions associated with a viable business.

We also have experience in creating, planting and cultivating websites.  These are a subset of websites which we now have actively under cultivation: Guilford Education Alliance "Engineering Connections", Southeast Guilford Community Association, IEEE Central NC Section.  

An important ingredient in M21C is the concept of Imagination; the Greensboro Children's Museum has the Transportation Area which demonstrates the importance of Imagination and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) skill sets, in fact we recommend thinking about I-STEM and CTE-I-STEM Cookie; also www.steam-notstem.com.

We welcome comments related to our work.  Our vision is to contribute to building healthy paradigms where people want to belong.
