The Last of the Seven C’s
Earlier this week Corsair’s Publishing released the last of our planned Medium magazines. When we first started publishing back in November 2015, we planned to create seven distinct offerings. Playing off the Corsair’s brand, we donned these the Seven C’s.
Each magazine has a distinct style and theme, but they generally touch on three main concepts: Analytics, Learning, and Professional Development. Our articles strive to be entertaining, thought-provoking, and concise (under a five-minute read).
Creative Analytics
This was our inaugural and most popular offering. Creative Analytics leverages pop culture and employs analogy to discuss topics in analytics. Among the many postings, you will find everything from muppets to movies and board games to song parodies. Analytics can be a creative process and writing about it should be, too.
Course Studies
The real world offers plenty of opportunities to learn as well. Course Studies provides a path to create knowledge. It is a collection of case studies collected from all areas of life. Articles feature wine, taxes, the NFL, and even David Bowie. They focus on context and providing a rough framework for understanding.
Course Studies also features one of our newest article formats. Feedback Lost is an educational series that detail core concepts in collecting and leveraging customer feedback.
Corsair’s Business
Entrepreneur is not the first phrase for risk taking adventures that was given to us by the French. Nearly 500 years ago, the French coined the phrase Corsair. The term arose from Lettres De Course, a license to ‘Join the Race’. The original Corsairs were merchants, traders, and businessmen.
Corsair’s Business borrows from that rich history. Its articles are focused on thought-provoking ideas in business and it employs a similar style to Creative Analytics to keep you entertained. Enjoy these Lessons and Analogies from the High Seas.
Comprehension 360
Corsair’s Publishing is the sister company of Corsair’s Institute. It is an organization dedicated to change the way analytics is taught, learned, and applied. Comprehension 360 is a magazine dedicated to providing many of their innovations.
Featured among the articles, are their Take Five Primers. These articles provide summaries of important concepts from The Socratic Method to Sun Tzu. The format is iterative. You can learn in five seconds, five minutes, or even five weeks.
Also available, the Quintessentially article format ties together five different articles tied to a central concept. These articles provide you the opportunity to learn about things from Data and Feedback, to Resume creation from a number of different perspectives and styles.
Corsair’s Institute is creating more articles each week and more series and formats are planned in the months ahead.
Circa Navigate
History is a great teacher and a journey through the evolution of key concepts can be exceptionally enlightening. Circa Navigate features articles that help you understand how things have developed over time. Articles may focus on terms in business, comprehension, or analytics. We keep the formats light and focus on the journey. Historic facts and attribution can be tedious, Circa Navigate provides you the liberty to explore and decide on your own.
