The Landscape

Made for thinkers. Built for reuse. Designed for intertwingling.

The Mentrix Method doesn’t help you create a marketing site — it helps you build a meaning system. These can (and perhaps should) be the same thing. The outcome is architected by the approach. A systems mindset generates the structures, patterns and inevitable experiences that we most need today. The forest of Systems Mindset is where the Mentrix community lives and learns.

Some of the topics you’ll find here:

• A system for structuring insight, publishing knowledge, and making sense of complexity.
• Practices that support systems design.
• Leveraging the power of other people’s knowledge and expertise as a critical skills.
• Designing for data in motion.
• Architecting relationships between information nodes, across platforms, in ways that generate impactful knowledge and experiences.
• Making decisions based on organizational learning and knowledge flow.
• Modeling the way humans actually think and act.
• Powerful concepts, heuristics, practices and approaches to abstraction.
• Snarky complaints about how we do things.
• Recommending better ways to do things.
• Decoupling interfaces from data to encourage emergence.
• Systems designed for evolution, reliablity, self organizing.
• Systemic leadership and how it differs from “management”.
• Building an artifact repository that supports knowledge sharing and development.
• Solutions to common problems like eventual consistency, caching and “my software doesn’t talk to my other software”.
