Inferential Focus was founded in 1980 by business partners Charles Hess and Bennett W. Goodspeed, Sr. Goodspeed, who died in 1983 was best known for his investing treatise The Tao Jones Averages, which was a guide to "whole-brained" investing, as contrasted to the number-based analytical "left-brained" investing that remains mainstream. They were joined by Joseph W. Kelly Jr.
Other principals during the companies earlier years included Carol Coleman, a securities analyst, and Kenneth Hey, a Ph.D. in American Studies who was also a film producer, and Peter Moore, the firm's marketing specialist. Hey remains the head writer of the firm's primary intelligence publication, the Inferential Focus Briefing.
Hey and Moore authored The Caterpillar Doesn't Know: How Personal Change is Creating Organizational Change in 1998.

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or books:
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Only my books anoint me,
and a few friends,
those who reach into my veins.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
