Think, produce, communicate

IntelliPROD is a created word that means "Productive Intelligence," and a system that prods one to use all available resources in business and life.

What I call "productive intelligence" is the kind of intelligence used by the chess master who (1) draws on a recall of thousands of games played in the past, (2) observes every piece on the board in the present, and its position relative to all of the other pieces, (3) is able to project several moves ahead, into the future, recognizing the opportunities or consequences in every potential move, and (4) boldly takes action and makes the move that is strategically most advantageous. This intelligence requires (1) an unobstructed recall of the past, (2) an ability to clearly view the present, (3) an ability to project probable future opportunities or consequences based on past and present observations, and (4) a willingness and readiness to take bold action based on the ability to draw on past, present and future perceptions.

In 1999, "IntelliPROD" was registered with the U.S. Patent Office as a registered Service Mark.
