R & D teams

We provide three diverse R & D prototypes with exciting projects for each model.

	Option A helps us create better products for you.
	Option B helps solo-professionals or companies build additional revenue streams.
	Option C helps communities work together for inspiring and amazing results.

Option A

Purpose

Consider your learning curve when you support the evolutionary process of creating, testing, and perfecting our teleclasses. To create direct or indirect revenue streams for yourself, or to stimulate your reservoir of intellectual ideas, personal potential, and creative self-expression, then consider joining our volunteer R & D team.

Guidelines

R & D team members generally spend 20 to 30 minutes per week reading and responding to e-mails. Passive members typically read incoming information only. At any time, you may reverse your passive or active status. If you like the idea of becoming a "virtual" team member and prefer to interact anonymously with our host leader, please review the subscriber guidelines below:

	We host several research and development teams simultaneously via e-mail and/or teleclasses
	We personally respond to approximately 5% of the e-mails we receive
	We take an embryonic idea (yours or ours) and merge it with hundreds of similar, parallel, or contradictory opinions
	We provide the group with continued feedback on the progress of all of our projects
	We complete or hire contractors to complete 98% of the total project: refining, marketing, and delivery phases
	We provide R & D members with complimentary services or reduced fees relating to the final product
	We own the final product; however, individual and group licensing options will be made available to the general public
	Anyone can join! The more opinions we tabulate, the better the final product; however, given our time constraints, we will restrict the number of volunteers to 1,000 R & D members

Invitation

Ultimately, the value of participation is determined by you. When you send an e-mail to research@heartwave.ca, our automated message filter will subscribe you as a passive group member, provided you accept the terms and guidelines described above. You are then entitled to receive e-mail announcements whenever we introduce new projects. One of our current projects is Fifty ways to love the boss you hate! We guarantee that this project will stop you from saying, "Same old, same old."

Option B

Purpose

We anticipate that this internal R & D model will be used by solo-professionals and corporations in lieu of unproductive networking events, boring general meetings, or outdated customer surveys. These R & D teams may fill a short-term or long-term need such as:

	Creating a bridge between complimentary and adversarial departments
	Previewing the skill set of selected employees or service providers
	Providing more real-time customer service options
	Inspiring employees to find their corporate niche
	Creating multiple income-producing streams
	Reducing research and development costs
	Evolving new product lines and services

Guidelines

Many of the guidelines outlined here model our successful prototype described under Option A above; however, please note that

	We host only one short-term evolutionary project: creating and perfecting an internal R & D prototype
	We keep specific information proprietary, if requested by the R & D member
	We personally respond to approximately 3% of the e-mails we receive
	We take an embryonic idea (yours or ours) and merge it with hundreds of similar, parallel, or contradictory opinions
	We will write a report or downloadable e-book that is owned by us
	We will provide R & D members with a complimentary copy of the report or e-book
	We will restrict the number of volunteers to 500 R & D members

Invitation

When you send an e-mail to research@heartwave.ca, our automated message filter subscribes you as a passive group member, provided you agree to the terms and guidelines outlined above. R & D team members generally spend 20 to 30 minutes per week reading and responding to e-mails. Passive members typically read incoming information only. At any time, you may reverse your passive or active status.

Option C

Purpose

In this model, R & D team members share responsibility by

	Assisting in the development of the emergent R & D prototype
	Developing a community project that generates passion and inspiration
	Creating practical solutions that encompasses community healing
	Combining the wisdom of several industry sectors, including profit and not-for-profit components

Guidelines

This model works best when cross-marketing and collaboration exists between several industries working towards a common community goal. If you like the idea of mutual group learning with a diverse group of subscribers, please note the general structure of this model.

	The structure and the process for this prototype will blossom through a series of progressive evolutions.
	All project leaders and team members are pre-screened for clear, concise community dreams and aspirations.
	All project leaders and team members share energy, intellectual property (IP) rights, and revenue streams.
	All project leaders and team members co-create solutions to a common cause.
	Love and trust versus fear and doubt form the basis of group thinking.
	All significant contributors receive attribution for their input.
	All project leaders and team members pay a sliding scale fee to participate.
	A separate trust fund is created for required expenditures.
	The final creation belongs to the evolutionary group.

Volunteers

Advisory board members are currently seeking project leaders who are open to the viewpoints of appreciative inquiry (PDF format), and who are specialists in one or more of the following categories:

	Research and measurement teams
	Project awareness and attraction models
	Media partnership and acceleration strategies
	Editorial, writing, and publication standards
	Grants and fundraising strategies
	Web creation and development
	Legal advice and protection

Project development includes distinct phases for conceptual and practical development, proof of viability, packaged solutions, marketing strategies, e-commerce solutions, leveraging opportunities, and ongoing product and service perfection.

Initial suggestions indicate that project leaders make a time commitment of seven focused hours per week for a minimum of 6 months. Typically, this will appeal to retirees and individuals who love the freedom, excitement, and responsibility this type of R & D model generates. If you believe that this community project will enhance your life's mission, the advisory board would be pleased to receive your completed application today. The graphics illustrated here (PDF format) demonstrate possible advisory board questions.
