Complexity in Businesses

It is necessary to define complexity in the field of business. It needs to be understood to develop and use adaptive systems:

When you have to add 1 + 1 the problem is simple; 1 + 1 = 2. There is only one possible solution and all you have to do is follow a method.

But the problem becomes complex if you reverse the equation (2 = ???) because you need to produce a result. In this case there are infinite solutions and the problem is complex because you have to find the equation that optimizes the process of producing results. That is why using methods is simple but ensuring results is complex.

We define a complex system as an open system, which defines the functionality of a unified field through the conjunction of objects and/or subsystems.

Complexity Science Organizations

There are three main organizations in the world that are fully focused on complexity science and its application in the field of human complex adaptive systems.

We strongly recommend comparing their approaches to choose the one that is functional to your needs. We suggest beginning by accessing their institutional page to apprehend the concept of adaptiveness they manage:

Dealing with Businesses as Complex Adaptive Systems

Businesses are typical adaptive systems. Businesses need to adapt to the environment in order to achieve their goals.

The Unicist Logical Approach allows emulating the dynamics of a business in mind that allows managing it as an adaptive system. Thus this approach permits defining reliable scenarios, develop diagnoses, build strategies and design business architectures.

The more adaptive a system is, the less energy it consumes to generate a predefined value. Adaptive systems require using predictors to deal with the adaptive aspects of the reality that is being managed. This requires using a unicist logical approach to define the rules that regulate adaptiveness and allow designing the architecture of the system.

Designing adaptive systems implies dealing with the complexity of such systems and developing operational solutions that can be managed by everyone to expand businesses and save energy. Complexity science can be defined as the scientific approach to complex adaptive systems.

The Unicist Logical Approach to Complexity Sciences

Learn about the Unicist Logical Approach at: http://www.unicist.net/clipboard

The unicist logical approach manages the adaptive aspects of business as unified fields based on the knowledge of their ontogenetic maps.

The knowledge of the ontogenetic map of a business, its market and the context allowed managing the fundamentals that define the possibilities of business actions.

The future scenario building became possible based on the knowledge of the ontology of evolution and the ontogenetic maps of a business and its restricted and wide contexts.

This knowledge allowed defining synergic maximal strategies, to expand beyond the boundaries of a business, and minimum strategies to work within them.

Adaptive business processes became reliable based on the use of ontology based business objects. The use of objects upgraded the role of human work in business.

The integration of fundamental analysis and technical analysis allowed building reliable business knowledge, transforming uncertainty into risk and integrating the knowledge of the possibilities of success with its probabilities.

All the solutions, business objects, technologies and knowledge provided by The Unicist Research Institute are based on the unicist logical approach and generate significant energy saving effects.

Steps to Manage Businesses as Adaptive Systems:

Forecast the future of the adaptive system that is being influenced.
Diagnose adaptive systems to define the possibilities of what can be achieved and how to do it.
Develop the necessary strategies that allow developing both maximal strategies to expand the boundaries of the system and minimum strategies to ensure survival.
Design the architecture of the solution in order to obtain the results that are necessary and possible to be achieved.

This requires having a conceptual approach to apprehend the unified field of the business and being able to transform adaptive aspects into operational solutions.

The Unicist Confederation is now expanding worldwide providing unicist object driven technologies to deal with the adaptive aspects of businesses. www.unicist.net

Unicist Education: Dealing with enterprises as adaptive systems

The unicist logical approach allowed managing the adaptive aspects of businesses by using unicist logical tools and business objects. This approach provides cross-cultural solutions based on the researches made at The Unicist Research Institute. To access the basics that sustain unicist education please access:
www.unicist.org/sdp.shtml

Complex adaptive aspects of businesses need to be learned in their dynamics which implies that they need to be learned making real applications based on the knowledge of their dynamic structure.

This is analogous to medical residencies in teaching hospitals where graduated physicians learn to manage a specialty. It has to be considered that medicine is a paradigmatic case of complexity:
http://www.massgeneral.org/education/

The Future Scenario: Static vs. Dynamic Learning Processes

The superior education in business management provided an empirical operational and analytical framework for business management that upgraded professionalism in the XXth century.

The static empirical model that permitted administrating businesses provided the knowledge that allowed developing the necessary information technology that became redundant with the superior educational programs. Simultaneously, the explosive R&D capacity to release new products shortened their lifecycle.

These two situations, the redundancy of operational an analytical knowledge and the acceleration of business processes, made the static empirical approach to business become functional to business operation but dysfunctional to business management.

This scenario opened new demands for superior education in businesses that are still unsatisfied.

The Next Step: “teaching hospitals” in the business field

Unicist education is based on learning processes that are analogous to “teaching hospitals” based on real complex problem solving. The unicist educational model is a postgraduate model that deals with the learning of logical tools and business objects. You can access a white paper at:
www.unicist.org/deb_wpue.php

It requires having the necessary technical-analytical knowledge learned in graduate or undergraduate programs.

It requires the learning of:

1) The building of future scenarios

2) Diagnosing businesses

3) Developing Unicist Strategies

4) Building Business Architectures

The difference between the Unicist Education and the Professional Education can be synthesized in:

Aspect	Unicist Education	Professional Education
Educational Framework	Teaching Hospital / Clinics	Workshops / Seminars / Courses
Educational Model	Complex Problem Solving	Systemic Problem Solving
Learning Approach	Action-Reflection-Action	Theory-Practice
Problem Solving Approach	Results Driven	Tasks Driven
Future Forecasting	Logical Inferences / Delphi Groups	Projections / Delphi Groups

Type of Tools	Unicist Logical Tools	Operational-analytical tools
Business Planning	Strategic approach	Analytic approach
Dominant type of Analysis	Fundamental Analysis	Technical Analysis
Risk Management	Ambiguity	Certainty

Social Communities: The vehicle for cooperation

February 14, 2012 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Functional Design / Unicist Logical Approach / Unicist Ontology of Evolution / Unified Field tagged growth strategies / Network building / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Object driven Organization by Diana Belohlavek

Communities are social entities integrated by people who share a differentiated entity that allows them to grow based on feeling valued and belonging to a superior group.

The building of a community requires having a superior ethics in some field, which implies centrally a differentiated functionality, a strict moral code, according to what is necessary to be done, and an adequate ideology that sustains the group.

All communities belong to a visible segment that makes them recognizable by the environment. Sects are extreme communities that foster a functionality that belongs to a parallel world.

Those who lead a community need to share its ethics. Their core responsibility is to expand it because they are convinced of the values they are adding to the environment.

The origin of Free Masons and the Rotary Club was being a community that belonged to the segment of “unions”.

Religious and political communities do not pertain to any of these categories although they are homologous.

When business communities exist, they belong to the Institutional or Avant-Garde segments. The first business community built by us was installed in Diners in 1981.

European Crisis: Fundamental Analysis is coming back

October 31, 2011 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Binary Actions / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Functional Design / Unicist Logical Approach / Unicist Ontology of Evolution / Unicist Strategy / Unified Field tagged Unicist Evolutionary Approach by Peter Belohlavek

The European Crisis demonstrated a lack of risk management in the wide sense. Fundamental analysis has been left aside. Fundamental analysis is based on the ontological structures of a functional entity and allows forecasting its behavior. When it is integrated with technical analysis it provides fully reliable information for risk management.

Fundamental analysis was an early technology to manage opportunities and risks, but mathematical solutions were consistent enough to displace and transform it into a subjective and perhaps intuitive approach to opportunity/risk management.

It has to be considered that human adaptive systems have a three dimensional structure following the ontogenetic intelligence of nature: http://www.unicist.org/deb_uoin.php

An ontological approach is necessary to deal with opportunities and risks in the field of adaptive systems in order to manage their three dimensional ontogenetic algorithms.

As it is known, mathematical models for adaptive systems are necessarily based on “ceteris paribus” or empirical solutions that are based on historical information with sophisticated projections.

That is why we consider that time has come to integrate technical analysis with fundamental analysis to provide reliable diagnoses and prognoses to the markets. This will surely prove a security framework that will bring relief to them.

Implementation of the unicist ontology of business growth

September 19, 2011 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Binary Actions / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Functional Design / Unicist Logical Approach / Unicist Strategy / Unicist Tweetinar tagged Unicist Evolutionary Approach by Peter Belohlavek

Business Growth is implicit in the architecture of a business. The context for structural growth is defined when the architecture has been designed. But it has to be considered that structural growth is in the details of the architecture and between the lines of the work procedures.

The unicist ontology of economic growth was discovered in 1989 after 10 years of research and country scenario building. Since then, its application to business growth drove to multiple experiences until it could be confirmed in 2011. The Unicist Research Institute used this ontology to grow from a pioneer in 1976 to where it is now.

The unified field of business growth, in unicist standard language, includes:

A context for growth, which is defined by the implicit vision of a company.
The economic growth algorithm: driven by technology, value generation and institutionalization.
Synchronicity: driven by opportunity, critical mass and added value.
Timing: driven by synchronicity, acceleration of actions and speed of actions.
Action: driven by value adding displacement, focused energy and work.

The algorithm for growth allows, on the one hand, diagnosing the possibilities of structural growth, defining its strategy and implementing the business processes to build it.

On the other hand, it defines the possibilities of conjunctual growth. Conjunctural growth implies actions that only drive to the growth of revenue that cannot be incompatible with the above described unified field of the growth algorithm.

Unicist Business Platforms structure Business Units

August 4, 2011 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Binary Actions / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Functional Design / Unicist Logical Approach / Unicist Strategy / Unified Field tagged Unicist Evolutionary Approach by Peter Belohlavek

Companies have two customers: their market and their shareholders.

Unicist Business Platforms are integrated business processes that foster business expansion while covering the administrative aspects or integrating them within.

UBPs use unicist business objects to ensure the results of the work processes. Thus UBPs structure a business unit including its expansion, decision support, control and operational systems.

The maximal strategy is driven by the adaptive system including both the expansion and the decision support systems. This allows expanding the boundaries of a business and structuring it to make it stable.

As a business unit, it needs to be measured by results which include both growth and profit. The transformation of cost centers into business units implies that the business might have external and/or internal clients.

It has to be considered that the concept of transforming cost centers into business units is an extension of boundaries in itself.

Hyperrealism in business: Organization by Results

The Unicist Hyperrealism is an approach to businesses, considering them as adaptive systems and managing their unified field with the context to ensure the results to be achieved.

Hyperrealism is necessary to approach the expansion of businesses. It requires managing the unified field of a business, the short and long term strategies and the use of the “Organization by Results” meta-model.

Organization by results is the organizational meta-model that allows upgrading businesses driving them towards a superior level.

This approach is basic to expand the boundaries of businesses and to manage the adaptive systems of companies.

It requires using business objects to ensure the adapting capacity of companies and the existence of strict operational methods as catalysts to sustain the implementation of the strategies that are designed to achieve the predefined goals.

The organization of business units, having autonomous but interdependent business platforms, is the natural organization for hyperrealism in business.

Learning the use of unicist ontology based business objects

The use of Unicist Business Objects, e.g. a Market Lab, doesn’t require managing ontological approaches but understanding them.

Unicist Business Objects are part of the intellectual capital of companies.

Access Diana Belohlavek’s book on Intellectual Capital at:
http://www.goodwillnetwork.net/deb_ic.shtml

An individual needs to be able to manage the business processes in order to integrate business objects. This requires having the concept of the process, having the operational know how and understanding the process which means having the know why.

Business Objects do not substitute the individual’s responsibility for results; they provide a structured solution that makes her/his activity easier and more profitable. In other fields this is self-evident: an autopilot doesn’t replace a human activity, it sustains the work of a pilot.

This is not the case of robots, for example in a welding line, where human activity is substituted by robots. Unicist Business Objects are like autopilots and not like robots.

The learning of the use of business objects requires having grasped their concept, accessing their “know why” and finally managing their “know how” to be able to replace them in the case their range of operation is exceeded.
