Unicist Strategy based on Binary Actions: an Emulation of Nature

 in Unicist Confederation / Unicist Functional Design  tagged 4th Industrial Revolution / Adaptive Business Processes / Adaptive Systems / Business strategy / Maximal Strategies / Minimum Strategies / Unicist Functionalist Approach / Unicist strategy by

The 4th Industrial Revolution introduced a paradigm shift that allows empowering business adaptability and customer orientation that is an upgrade towards a superior level of value generation strategy. The 4IR is the revolution of functionality, which is based on the concepts that underlie business functions and the use of binary actions.

The discovery of the triadic ontogenetic intelligence of nature that regulates the evolution of living beings, made by Peter Belohlavek at The Unicist Research Institute, allowed understanding the structure of evolution, which is driven by binary actions, which are two synchronized actions that have been defined as maximal strategies to grow and minimum strategies to ensure survival. This functionality also applies to artificial adaptive systems.

The functionality of adaptive systems is driven by binary actions, which include objects and catalysts. Therefore, the development of strategies in adaptive environments requires building synchronized binary actions to influence each adaptive function of an environment.

The strategy building process requires defining the ontogenetic maps that describe the fundamentals of the functions involved, defining what is possible to be achieved, designing the maximal and minimum strategies, and developing the synchronized unicist binary actions (UBAs) to ensure the generation of results.

How Social and Business Catalysts Work

 in Unicist Confederation  tagged Business Catalysts / Ontogenesis of Evolution / Peter Belohlavek / Social Catalysts / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist strategy by

The research on social and business catalysts developed at The Unicist Research Institute unveiled their nature to accelerate processes and their levels of acceleration.

According to this research, 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:

Social & Business Catalysts Functionality

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 adaptive environments.

Levels of Acceleration

The levels of acceleration catalysts introduce in processes, depend on the specificity of their functions.

a) Generic catalysts accelerate the functionality of institutions or organizations. Their acceleration is (+).
b) Systemic catalysts accelerate the functionality of functions and roles. Their acceleration is (++).
c) Specific catalysts accelerate the functionality of processes. Their acceleration is (+++).
d) Conjunctural catalysts accelerate the functionality of conjuncture driven processes. Their acceleration is (++++).

The dysfunctionality of catalysts, because they are inconsistent with the environment or because they don’t have the necessary influence on it, deaccelerates social and business processes. The pilot testing of catalysts ensures their functionality.

The Breakthrough of the Unicist Universal Architecture

 in Unicist Cobots / Unicist Confederation / Unicist Objects  tagged Business Architecture / Business Modeling / Object Driven Organization / Result driven Organization / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Architecture / Unicist Buisiness Units / Unicist Confederation / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist strategy by

Before the unicist approach was developed architecture had multiple approaches to solve its tasks in the multiple fields of application.

Unicist Ontology of Functional ArchitectureThe unicist approach introduced the approach to architecture based on a unicist structural functionalist approach: unicist because it manages a specific reality as a unified field; structural because it defines the unicist ontological structure of such reality and functional because it uses the ontogenetic maps and objects to manage its functionality.

This requires a sound knowledge of the operational aspects and the nature of the field where something needs to be built.

Architects are individuals who make something exist that did not exist before. They are a sort of creators who have assumed the responsibility that this creation becomes useful, aesthetic and solid.

This role of architects has been socially accepted since they exist, which makes legitimate the fact that their earning be proportional to the value of their creation.

The original role of architects is the field of construction but it extended to those capable of building of any entity that can exist in itself and is useful, aesthetic and solid.

That is why there exist architects in many fields such as product architects, IT architects, sound architects, marketing architects, business architects, etc.

Vitruvius was the one who was able to describe and define their role in the 1st Century B.C. He was the one who described the ontological structure of their function.

The unicist approach to architecture includes the need to know the ontological structure of what is being built in order to ensure its utility, aesthetics and solidity.

Unicist Architecture is a structural functionalist approach to building. This building may or may not emulate nature. What the architects need to manage is their integration in a unified field with the project they are dealing with defining its utility, aesthetics and functionality.

Everyone can use unicist thinking to make decisions

 in Unicist Binary Actions / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Confederation  tagged Continuous improvement / decision making / Peter Belohlavek / Unicist Approach / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist strategy / Unicist thinking by

Decisions have been made when they have been implemented. Before their implementation they are just hypothetical wishes.

The speed of decision making depends on the type of logical thinking of individuals. It has to be considered that speed is defined by the chronological lap between a new fact and the implemented real action to exert accurate influence.

The more evolved the logical thinking of individuals the higher the speed of action:

1) Analogical thinking drives to no decisions because personal needs and beliefs prevail. The speed is “0” (zero)

2) Operational thinking requires making the necessary technical analytical studies to define the problem and the possible solution. This is considered the standard time for decision making.

3) Analytical thinking allows focusing the operational technical analytical studies. This doubles the speed of operational thinking.

4) Systemic (Scientific) thinking focuses on a specific operation which reduces the cost of the preparation of decision making based on the existence of a hypothesis for a solution. This doubles the speed of analytical thinking.

5) Conceptual thinking provides the ontological structure that underlies the operation. It allows defining the essential drivers of the solution. This doubles the speed of systemic thinking.

6) Unicist thinking provides the understanding of the boundaries of the solution allowing the development of a plan B (including an entropy inhibitor) and a plan C (including a catalyst). This doubles the speed of conceptual thinking.

Conclusion

Internal speed cannot be accelerated without producing paradoxical results.

Internal speed evolves with the individual but a sudden acceleration drives individuals towards analogical thinking.

It has to be considered that the mass of the population tends to use analogical thinking at work. Teamwork decisions need to accept that a train has the speed of its slowest wagon (metaphor).

The above mentioned speeds have been empirically confirmed.

If you invest the necessary time you will harvest the consequent success.

Using consultants as catalysts in power driven organizations

 in Unicist Cobots / Unicist Confederation / Unicist Objects  tagged Business diagnostics / Business management / Diana Belohlavek / Diego Belohlavek / Innovation management / Peter Belohlavek / Unicist Corporate University / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Standard / Unicist strategy by

Power driven organizations are focused on their “shareholders”. They might be not-for-profit organizations, businesses or “solopreneurs”; in all the cases they are focused on the needs of the “owners”.

Business ConsultantsThe natural role of a consultant is:

1) To be an expert who provides expertise.

2) To be a tool provider.

3) To be a technology provider.

The role of what has been named a pseudo-consultant is:

1) to outsource work processes

2) to provide opinions

3) to work as a catalyst

Power driven organizations do not use consultants, they use pseudo-consultants. When using pseudo-consultants they cannot accept including them in the circle of “WE”.

Therefore they are an external element that is used to empower their system because of some problem the organization has to solve. This means that the pseudo-consultants are not part of the business processes and therefore function as an external element that works as a catalyst.

A business catalysts works as a competitor with the system it is catalyzing. That is why catalysts wear out by using them. Pseudo-consultants get worn out in these organizations, and at the end they are perceived as a “persona non grata”.

Also consultants work as catalysts but what catalyzes is the functional expertise, the tools or the technology. What gets worn out is the objective added value which is absorbed by the organization as soon as it is installed and “vanishes” as a catalyst. The subjective role of the consultants becomes upgraded during this process.

Pseudo-consultants are used as “subjective” catalysts, and the organizations compete with them in order to “beat” them to avoid their competition with the power of the members.

That is why “institutionalized consultants” cannot work with power driven organizations, and power driven organizations need to have a reservoir of consultants to use when needed.

Family Companies: About Hunting and Farming Businesses

 in Unicist Binary Actions / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Confederation  tagged Business strategy / Family Business Strategies / Ontogenetic Maps / Peter Belohlavek / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Business Architecture / Unicist Confederation / Unicist Corporate University / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist strategy by

Economic activities can be synthesized in man’s most ancestral pursuits: hunting and agriculture.

Family BusinessMan began hunting, in that era he was a nomad and that generated a series of individual and social attitudes and behaviors that accorded to that activity. There are company activities that have the same features of the hunt.

The construction, engineering, consultancy and direct sales are only a few examples of the hunt. The criteria of reality, astuteness and opportunity are the basis of the hunting business.

Man became sedentary when he learned to manage agriculture. Agriculture requires a series of preparatory activities, the availability of land to cultivate, fertilizers, etc.

It requires time management that implies, in traditional farming, preparing the earth, sowing, protecting what has been sown, harvesting and then separating the fruit from the rest of the materials that grow.

There are company activities that have the same features of agriculture. Farming, large-scale manufacturing, passive sales and communications, are only a few examples of the farming business. Adaptation to the environment, tenacity and heavy work are the basis of the farming business.

Obviously, there are variations in this classification, which have to do, for example, with whether it is small-game hunting or big-game hunting. Selling encyclopedias on CDs door-to-door is a small-game hunting activity. Extensive farming is not the same as intensive farming. And so we can find the nuances that mark the actions within a company, and categorize it according to its activity.

Think Green: Energy saving is basic in Engineering

 in Unicist Cobots / Unicist Confederation  tagged Continuous improvement / Diego Belohlavek / Intelligent Systems / Unicist Behavioral Tools / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Ontology of Evolution / Unicist Standard / Unicist strategy by

Unicist Ontological Reverse Engineering is the technology that transforms the concept of “Green thinking” into actual conceptual engineering.

This allows extreme energy savings in the fields of adaptive systems. When solutions for adaptive systems are being developed the use of the Unicist Standard for conceptual design makes huge energy savings possible.

The use of unicist objects as energy saving functions of processes makes the difference in conceptual engineering design.

We invite you to apprehend the nature of China’s archetype. But consider that it is necessary to avoid comparisons with other cultures.

“The reach of one’s globalization is defined by the limit of the pronoun WE.”

If you are really interested in understanding the Chinese archetype we recommend listening to the lecture you find at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mRlgQKWlnQ

We strongly recommend “reading between lines” to apprehend the fundamentals of the culture. Access the information on the unicist ontology of economic behavior at: https://www.unicist.net/conceptual-design/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ontology_economy_en.pdf

Only if the culture is within the limits of your “WE” you will be able to perceive aspects of the Chinese archetype.

Next week you will have access to the essential aspects of China’s culture on this blog.
