The purpose of a behavioral catalyst is to increase the speed of functional processes. This objective is achieved by increasing significantly the efficiency of processes and diminishing the level of efficacy that is necessary. The use of catalysts saves energy.
The maximal strategy of catalysts is to simplify the functionality of processes by solving their implicit weaknesses using a superior technology that accelerates them.
The minimum strategy establishes a superior framework of the process that expands the possibilities and ensures results.
The discovery of the structure of the functionality of biological and behavioral catalysts allowed developing business catalysts which are necessary to accelerate processes and drive the evolution of businesses.
Behavioral catalysts are needed to ensure the sustainability of business processes.
The acceleration of the processes they produce, depends on the specificity of the catalysts. There are generic, systemic, specific and conjunctural catalysts.
The more conjuncture oriented the catalysts are, the higher the level of acceleration they produce and the shorter their lifecycle is.
Catalysts simplify the functionality of processes by solving their implicit weaknesses using a superior technology that accelerates them.
Catalysts are objects that are naturally integrated in any living being. Among the most well-known catalysts in biology are the enzymes that catalyze multiple processes to ensure the survival and evolution of living beings.
One differentiated characteristic of behavioral catalysts is that they need to achieve the necessary threshold of energy to influence the environment.
The 4th Industrial Revolution introduced the concept of adaptiveness in the industrial, economic and social world. This increases notoriously the market orientation but demands managing environments as adaptive systems, which require the use of catalysts to ensure their functionality and evolution.
Behavioral catalysts are process accelerators that allow ensuring the functionality and evolution of adaptive systems of any kind.
Simplifying Processes
The functionality of catalysts requires that their work be “redundant” with the causes of the problem they solve. Catalysts cannot work in non-adaptive environments. Catalysts accelerate social and business processes:
1) They simplify processes by increasing their efficiency. Therefore, there is less need of efficacy to ensure the achievement of effectiveness.
2) They manage the root causes of social and business functions, which are driven by the dysfunctionality of the concepts and fundamentals that underlie their processes.
3) They palliate the dysfunctionality of the implicit weaknesses of the strengths of processes. Implicit weaknesses are the dysfunctional consequences of any strength in ad
Real Case Solutions
The program works as a teaching hospital in business. Therefore, it is based on a real case solution that generates value in a company. The benefits produced by the solution that is developed need to exceed the investment in the educational activity.
The Program
The programs of the functionalist education are problem driven and not thematic driven.
The catalyst building program is based on the management of the latent needs of processes and the use of external influence to accelerate them. It requires defining the functionalist principles of the processes and their context.
Types of Catalysts:
- Conjunctural Catalysts
- Specific Catalysts
- Systemic Catalysts
- Generic Catalysts
The Solution Building Process
The 4th Industrial Revolution introduced business adaptability and customer orientation as core values for business organization. In this context, unicist strategy is a value adding strategy that emulates the intelligence of nature and allows managing businesses as adaptive systems.
In fact, businesses of any kind have been and will always be adaptive entities. As any natural or artificial adaptive entity, they are driven by the adaptive functionality of their processes. This adaptability is driven by:
- Binary actions
- Business objects
- The use of catalysts
- Pilot testing
1) Unicist Binary Actions
The functionality of adaptive systems and businesses is based on the development of binary actions that are synchronized actions that avoid reactions from the environment by matching the concepts that underlie the system. The propulsion and the lift of an airplane are an example of how binary actions work. Binary actions are part of the nature of any adaptive system.
2) Unicist Business Objects
Adaptive systems, including businesses, are driven by objects, which are encapsulated adaptive systems to generate results. Objects Include synchronized binary actions to work. The organs of the human body are an example of objects. The organization by objects is what makes businesses adaptive. Therefore, businesses have no variables because their functions are interdependent.
The use of variables to manage businesses is a palliative. Variables only exist in non-adaptive systems. The adaptability of non-adaptive businesses is personal efficacy dependent.
3) Unicist Business Catalysts
Adaptive systems, including businesses, are sustained by catalysts. Among the most well-known catalysts in biology are the enzymes that catalyze multiple processes to ensure the survival and evolution of living beings.
Catalysts expand the possibilities of the functionality of an adaptive system, while they accelerate processes by increasing the efficiency of their processes. The lack of catalysts or their insufficiency, kills businesses in the short or long-term.
4) Pilot Testing
Pilot testing provides the information of the validity of the solutions and the results that can be expected when using the solutions.
Some of the companies that use business objects and catalysts are: Airbus, Amazon, Apple, BBC, Boeing, Dassault Systemes, Dupont, Ericsson, Facebook, General Electric, Google, Hilton, Honda, Hyundai, LinkedIn, Lufthansa, Mapfre, Mayo Clinic, Michelin, Novartis, Open Text, P&G, Pfizer, SAP, Siemens, Tata Motors, Toyota, Unilever, Walmart, Walt Disney World and YouTube.
Leadership of the Program
The initial programs are led by Professors of the Unicist Corporate University, but the program also includes the possibility of transferring the technology to be managed by executives of the companies.
Collaboration Space
All the participants of the functionalist educational programs are invited to participate in the recently opened Collaboration Space where they can share experiences with others.
