Testimonials
I worked with Sharon Bender at Aspen University where she served as an instructor. As dean of the university I was pleased with her concern for the success of our learners. She developed a Web site that she called Student Place at which she provided resources and a number of other tools to assist learners. Our learners found it a great benefit. — Dr. Tina Parscal
I worked with Sharon Bender in NTI at BASF. She was always creating some new way to do things and to solve problems. She developed a tracking system that was divided into three sections. It replaced a much more complicated system. The entire organization began using it. We developed a training manual together and she used some interesting ways of organizing the material as I recall. Sharon is a great influence to anyone who knows her. She is a wonderful role model.
— Jamia DeFinis, Co-Worker, BASF
I remember your approaches to simplifying things back in our Knoll Pharmaceutical days in 1996. You modified our much hated SWOT analysis to three easier steps. I am going to have to use all of the concepts at your site because I think you are the MASTER of organizational concepts!
— Barbara Wiesing, Co-Worker, BASF
I have served as a team member of the MECA (Management/Employee Communication Agreement) focus group in 1994 at AlliedSignal along with the team leader, Sharon L. Bender. In working through the problem in our meeting Sharon used a form of triangulation to categorize the issues presented.

An invention is widely considered an object, process, or technique displaying an element of novelty. The invention process requires at least the awareness that an existing concept or method can be modified or transformed into an invention. Inventions usually fulfill some purpose in a new or different manner and perhaps aids in performing tasks. Many of my inventions are not novel in that they are constructed from common terms and applications, one reason my work is offered to the open public for use.
