ABOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE NETWORK PARTNERS

The Center welcomes Click Magazine and High Performance Resources, Inc. as Knowledge Network Partners. These are companies that support and complement the network the Center has created for the high-level exchange of knowledge about new thought leaders, new technology trends, and innovative approaches to the business of the Internet Economy.

ABOUT CLICK MAGAZINE

The Center welcomes CliCK Magazine as a Knowledge Network Partner focusing on the thought leaders and innovators in the Silicon Valley. CLiCK Magazine was founded in 1999 with the goal of becoming "The Talk of Silicon Valley" -- the anedote for the proliferation of high-tech business journalism in and around Silicon Valley. CliCK entertains and informs by telling the stories of the innovators, thought leaders, characters and the fascinating individuals that have made this region what it is today. Each month CLiCK brings to its readers fresh, readable stories behind high-tech's hottest companies, looking at trends and giving insight to the industry's biggest names. CLiCK is also keeping an eye out for players to watch. CLiCK strives to put the personality and feeling back in business with eye-popping, innovative design and first-rate photography of the people in the industry rather than focusing on stock prices, business models and market trends

CLiCK Magazine is published by 18 Media's Sloane Citron, known throughout the region as the publisher of both Gentry and Northern California Home and Design magazines. CLiCK Magazine is distributed monthly for free, direct to 25,000 business executives and upper-level managers from San Jose to San Francisco. CLiCK is also available in many local bookstores, and has been enjoying a fantastic response in the five months of its existence.

ABOUT STEVE ENDERS AND RICH RUTHERFORD

CLiCK's editor is Steve Enders, a born-and-bred, Silicon Valley native who cut his teeth with Metro Newspapers in the South Bay and by writing for various other publications and websites before coming to CLiCK. Advertising Sales Director/Associate Publisher Rich Rutherford is also a Bay Area native, with more than 10 years of advertising, sales and marketing experience in a variety of fields, from the publishing to software industries.

ABOUT HIGH PERFORMANCE RESOURCES

The Center welcomes the insights about the human resource side of the Internet Economy through their Knowledge Network Partner, High Performance Resources, Inc (HPR). HPR helps organizations attract, retain and convert their Human Capital to shareholder value. This critical capacity defines competitive advantage in the global knowledge economy.

Based in San Francisco, HPR was formed in 1994 to study the evolving role of Human Capital in the business model shift from tangible- to Intellectual Capital. In 1998 it co-developed an economic model linking Human Capital Capacity to Shareholder Value. One year later, HPR's concepts were presented at Georgetown University's MBA program which included such noteworthy company participants as Cisco, UPS and Ariba.

In collaboration with the Center, HPR will provide seminars for the first time to the public beginning in August 2000.
