Mindwerx Creativity Exchange Network CEN is a network for creative thinkers, and innovatorsThe Creativity Exchange Network or CEN (pronounced ken) is a forum for creative thinkers, change agents, and innovators who want to share ideas with like-minded people.

CEN was started by Mindwerx in Australia in 2001, after Bill and Jennifer attended a CEN-UK meeting in London in the Summer of 2000.  Between 2001 until 2008 we ran dozens of CEN meet-ups hosted by great friends and clients, mostly in Melbourne, and a few in Sydney.  You can see Jennifer’s Mind Map of a CEN meet-up we had in early 2003 on our Mind Map Gallery.

When we arrived back in Melbourne, after several years away, we wanted to get CEN going again, and between the half of 2016 and the end of 2019 we had more than 25 terrific events that explored the power of Imagineering in setting vision and thinking strategically, the amazing power of Memory and Memorability, and Thinking about Thinking.

Initially CEN had three focus areas:–

  • Regular meet-ups and special events open to anyone interested in the varied topic areas we’ll explore
  • The CEN LinkedIn Group where members from all over the world can have open discussions, look for and suggest ideas.  Join the LinkedIn Group.
  • The CEN RecoHub – an online platform for members to make recommendations (recos) on anything they find of value – software, websites, conferences, thinking tools, innovation apps, books, businesses, and more.  This will be a valuable vault of recommendation on how to be more innovative and successful.  Join the RecoHub now.  Developed for us by the great team at Recomazing.

Unfortunately with the Covid-19 pandemic, our live events halted, and the LinkedIn Group has been a low priority for most members. So at this stage we are putting CEN on hold until further notice.
