Wellbeing and performance can be improved by new system of managing information
How a new, next generation form of note-taking can increase understanding by an average of 20 per cent, improving performance and personal wellbeing.

Identifying and linking information
This method increases performance compared to listening, bullet point note taking and laptop/tablet recording, training people to be able to listen and concentrate at a high level for at least an hour, in meetings and interview situations, as well as to identify important information, capture it and link it together to increase real time understanding. Notes are more concise, more detail and easier to recall. SmartWisdom is a solution where the focus of a meeting or study session is on meaning rather than just recording. It is now possible to focus on listening, recording, understanding and questioning simultaneously.Related articles

An aid for dyslexics
The system was created by Jonathan Kemp who, because of his dyslexia, came up with a solution to help himself, initially. Jonathan used his condition to develop SmartWisdom over 20 years, during which two independent scientific studies found a 12 per cent increase in understanding within 2 weeks and a 20 per cent increase after one year. User’s belief and confidence in their own ability was also higher as a result of using SmartWisdom.The note-taking system increases dyslexics’ real-time understanding even further (by 23 per cent above that which can be achieved by non-dyslexics) and gives dyslexics greater confidence and belief in their capabilities to manage day-to-day knowledge in study and work. SmartWisdom also increases the capabilities of those with English as a second language. The SmartWisdom course costs £399 and takes 5 hours to complete.Read more news and articles on Technology.
