Article Prompting Creative Thinking (from People Who Don’t Think They’re Creative) by Christopher Butler on August 18, 2011 This week I was listening to a podcast from PRI's To the Best of Our Knowledge, which was focused on the creative mind.

Article The Familiarity Spectrum Redux by Christopher Butler on August 3, 2011 In gathering data for a chapter on measurement in my forthcoming book, Thinking Before Doing, I needed to first update a set I had put together for an article I wrote last year on measurement. The data I used in that article represented two years of traffic to our site (from mid 2008 through mid 2010).

I especially was interested in seeing how our top referrers distributed over the familiarity spectrum and whether the observation I'd made back in 2010 was also still accurate. After I compare last year's data with this year's, I'll explain what I mean by the familiarity spectrum and hopefully this will all make sense Read Now About
