The Innovation Forge Codex: A Mysterious Discovery at Slate Summit 🔮⚙️
While attending Slate Summit, I stumbled into something...unexpected. A wrong turn led me not just past the ballroom, but into an entirely different kind of encounter, a forgotten document tucked beneath dusty swag bags and old lanyards: The Innovation Forge Codex
Inside were six disciplines, each more fascinating than the last:
🛠 Slatewright: The weaver of digital workflows.
🧠 Mentallurgy: The alchemist of strategy and thoughtwork.
⚒️ Querysmith: The artisan of data structure and precision.
🔮 Datamancer: The conjurer of predictive models and insight.
📏 Metricurgy: The crafter of dashboards and meaningful KPIs.
🍂 Attritionomy: The stargazer of enrollment trends and student behavior.
None of these were part of the official Slate training, yet each felt strangely familiar. As if they were secret roles that already exist in the work we do every day.
In this special episode, I introduce The Innovation Forge Codex, a creative lens for understanding the hidden arts behind Slate innovation. What started as a simple conference trip has now become the beginning of something much bigger.
Enter the Forge and discover the disciplines that shape the future of higher ed CRM.
