1) 5 Things to know when purchasing Chromebooks
In April, the head of our sales team, Lance, put together this handy rubric for organizations interested in making the leap to Chromebooks. Anyone curious about outfitting their school or business should take a look and see how they might fit.
“Educate parents and the rest of the community about the expenditure in order to avoid any backlash. A large Chromebook deployment will probably make local newspaper headlines and so making sure people are in the know about what is going on with their students and businesses is important.”

4) Visualizing the Workplace with 7Geese
Newmind CEO Matt Vollmar discusses one of our core values—make things better—and the merits of 7Geese as a method of tracking your team’s engagement in the workplace.
“I wanted to find a way to increase the prevalence of vision, connectedness, progress and recognition within Newmind. How can they be visualized and cemented for everyone to see? We adopted 7Geese as the solution. Only having used it for two months now, we can already see great benefits in how it impacts the workplace.”
5) Newmind Group named to the INC 500
Several months out, Newmind’s Inc 500 announcement and reflection from our founder, Dan Jefferies, remains one of our most popular pieces on the blog.
“Every year Newminders and their families gather for our summer party. This year was different. Matt and Dan, our CEO and marketing lead, had been keeping a secret from the rest of the company. They shared the secret with us and there were quite a few excited Newminders on the beach that day. I’m proud to share this secret with you: Newmind Group has been named to Inc. magazine’s list of 500 fastest-growing private companies in the United States.”
