Knowledge Base

The goal of the knowledge base of the Meeting Support Institute is to build a 'core base of knowledge' around Meeting Content and Meeting Support: about the learning for, the networking by and the motivation of adults at meetings.

There is an academic component and an industry component.

The scientific areas we believe we need to look into are

  1. Psychology (Cognitive psychology, Social Psychiology, Group dynamics, Human behaviour, Human mind, Decision making, Beliefs and attitudes, Motivation, Learning, Perception... )
  2. Cognitive science (Adult education)
  3. Neurology
  4. Biology (Nutrician, the 5 senses)
  5. Sociology
  6. Anthropology
  7. Musicology
    and more

All of these scientific areas today contain fragmented knowledge and research, valauble to meetings that can help improve our impact on participants at meetings and therefor improve the result and ROI of meetings..

The industry component is about

  1. concepts
  2. tools
  3. technology
    and more

We aim currently for a comprehensive list of available books, courses, articles, academics, speakers and other resources of knowledge. Secondly we want to select the best material and concentrate that into a book and later a curriculum for a course or degree in meeting architecture. Finally we want to start a certification process for senior meeting professionals based on this curriculum: "Certification in Meeting Content Management "  CMCM. and/or "Certification in Meeting Architecture" CMA

Please send your additions to maarten.vanneste@meetingsupport.org

Thank you for your interest and support.

"If one cannot state a matter clearly enough so that even an intelligent twelve-year-old can understand it, one should remain within the cloistered walls of the university and laboratory until one gets a better grasp of one's subject matter."

"The ability to learn is older -- as it is also more widespread -- than is the ability to teach."

Margaret Mead, Anthropologist, 1901 - 1978

"We are now at a point where we must educate our children in what no one knew yesterday, and prepare our schools for what no one knows yet. "

 

Margaret Mead, Anthropologist, 1901 - 1978

"Man's most human characteristic is not his ability to learn, which he shares with many other species, but his ability to teach and store what others have developed and taught him. "

 

Margaret Mead, Anthropologist, 1901 - 1978

"As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost. "
