FAQ about SharpBrains Council for Brain Fitness Innovation

by

We have received many good ques­tions about the new Sharp­Brains Coun­cil for Brain Fit­ness Inno­va­tion — below you have some answers.

Ques­tion: We are based in Asia/ Australia/ Europe. Will time dif­fer­ences pre­vent us from par­tic­i­pat­ing in month­ly brief­in­gs and ben­e­fit­ing from the Council?

Answer: We will do our best to facil­i­tate a tru­ly glob­al com­mu­ni­ty and exchange. Please con­sid­er that…

  1. we will sched­ule month­ly brief­in­gs at 2 sep­a­rate times, one at 9am US Pacif­ic Time, the oth­er at 4pm US Pacif­ic Time, both cov­er­ing the same top­ic (but per­haps with dif­fer­ent guest speak­ers). And brief­in­gs will be recorded.
  2. most activ­i­ties and resources are asyn­chro­nous any­way. Our mar­ket intel­li­gence reports and oth­er mate­ri­als are avail­able via this mem­bers-only online com­mu­ni­ty 24/7, same as online dis­cus­sion forums, focused groups to track/ dis­cuss spe­cif­ic top­ics, the abil­i­ty to ask ques­tions to and con­nect with oth­er members…

Ques­tion: Will some­thing change regard­ing SharpBrains.com blog and month­ly newslet­ter, which are great free resources?

Answer: We plan to  main­tain those free resources, focus­ing on con­tent of a gen­er­al inter­est for every­one with a brain. The Coun­cil’s pur­pose is to cre­ate a new valu­able in-depth resource and com­mu­ni­ty for pro­fes­sion­als and orga­ni­za­tions active with brain fit­ness ini­tia­tives, so we can all learn and share dur­ing the year, and help the field mature.
