Compendium represents for me an intriguing blend of social and technical tools for constructing collective knowledge. My work on structuring discourse connects with Compendium both conceptually and technically.

I became interested in tools for mediating social discourse and creating shared knowledge formalisms. The Compendium tools and techniques reveal exciting and powerful possibilities.

Compendium is a marvelous way of helping groups of people make sense of very complex challenges in real time.  It is proving to be a useful method in a number of applications from facilitating meetings, through developing and implementing customer requirements to documenting quality processes

I am one of several Compendium practitioners at GDSS. We use Compendium to help project teams capture and leverage the knowledge that they create while working together to achieve a goal. Our focus at this time is System Development projects and teams. We have found that Compendium drastically improves the productivity and alignment of groups of people. And perhaps even more important, Compendium seems to restore some well-deserved joy to the human collaborative process.

Albert M. Selvin

Maarten Sierhuis

For me Compendium represents collaborative modeling! A model is a system representation at any level. A system can be anything we are interested in, and can put a boundary around. In Compendium, groups of people can develop shared representations of their system of interest. The power of a shared representation is shared understanding. Remember, if a model is helpful for your purpose it is at the right level!!!

Jamie Sweat

GDSS is focused on how to utilize and hone the approach to make a viable business providing Compendium Services to clients. We are a resource for expert Compendium Practioners. We are developing Compendium "applications" in vertical markets (ie, systems development). These "applications" include documented processes, domain specific templates, and output tailored to client domain needs.
