Article Abstract:

Business consultant Mindshop International, as a means to further growth, has launched an online consulting service at www.mindshop.com.au.

With the online service, Mindshop expects to build a base of 10,000 facilitators, most of whom are now in the accounting profession. Mindshop expects corporate facilitators to rise to 80%, but the site will also be valuable for small public accounting firms requiring best practice data and techniques.
