Adaptive behavior assessment: the Unicist Japanese Park

May 14, 2015 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Object Driven Organization tagged Business Diagnosis / Business Objects / business planning / Country Future Research / Fundamental analysis / growth strategies / Peter Belohlavek / scenario building / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Evolutionary Approach by Diego Belohlavek

The Unicist Japanese Park is a method that has been used since 1976 to evaluate the natural behavior when people are part of adaptive systems. It has been used to validate cultural archetypes, institutional cultures and personal behavior.

The purpose of this method is to find the natural organization that is used by people that demonstrates how they deal with their functionality to add value and to earn value.

It is based on building an emulation of a real adaptive system to integrate people in it and evaluate the functionality of their behavior. The emulation of the adaptive system needs to be defined knowing the operational and fundamental aspects that are included.

The first aspect that needs to be evaluated is how people focus their energy towards the generation of added value and measure how they assure the results. This allows defining the starting point of the value adding actions.

The second aspect to be assessed is how people deal with their efficacy, efficiency and quality assurance. This allows defining how people deal with their minimum strategies to be reliable.

This method provides reliable information of what happens naturally in an environment.

The Unicist Approach to Manage Business Expansion

November 22, 2012 in Intelligent Systems / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots tagged Adaptive systems / Business strategy / business architecture / Diego Belohlavek / Fundamental analysis / growth strategies / Peter Belohlavek / Unicist Business Strategy / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Standard / Unicist Thinking by Unicist Press Committee

Diagnoses, strategies and architecture to expand businesses require the integration of fundamental and technical-analytical knowledge. This is what the unicist approach made possible.

But to access the unicist approach to businesses it is necessary to be able to use double dialectical thinking (unicist thinking) at a personal level.

Therefore it is obvious that the precondition to use the unicist approach is the understanding of its foundations which requires using unicist thinking.

Unicist thinking empowers the adaptive approach to reality and the consequence of its use is the expansion of the level of consciousness of the user which allows making a strategic approach to reality.

Access a synthesis on the “Discovery of the Unicist Thinking – The double dialectical thinking” that is available at the Scientific Dissemination Program. You will find there other syntheses that might be of your interest: https://www.unicist-school.org/complexity-sciences/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/unicist_thinking.pdf

Without the use of unicist thinking only survival, non-influential strategies or anti-strategies are possible.

Unicist Turnkey Solutions for End-Users in Business

July 19, 2012 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Process Management tagged Business Diagnosis / Business Objects / Business strategy / business architecture / Fundamental analysis / growth strategies / ontogenetic maps / Unicist Business Strategy / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Standard / unicist approach by Diana Belohlavek

From August 2012 on, only turnkey solutions will be provided to end users in business. This implies that the unicist ontology based and objects driven technologies will be only provided to Corporate and Professional Partners. No technologies will be sold to end-users.

This implies that end-users only need to manage the operation of the business objects / business units / business processes that are installed.

The partners who participate in the development of solutions will have the Unicist Knowledge Object Manager, the Unicist Fact-book and the Centralized Quality Assurance Services available.

As the Unicist Confederation deals with the adaptive aspects of businesses, the core aspect is the definition of the actual possibilities of a business defined in its diagnoses. Therefore we recommend that you access the book on “The Unicist Standard for Ontological Business Diagnostics” at the Unicist Library:

Spin-offs: The Unicist Approach as a New Starting Point

May 11, 2012 in Intelligent Systems / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots tagged Fundamental analysis / growth strategies / ontogenetic maps / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Thinking / unicist approach / unicist ontology of evolution by Peter Belohlavek

The Unicist Research Institute was a pioneer in complexity science research and became a global decentralized world-class research organization in the field of human adaptive systems.

More than 4,200 unicist ontological researches were developed since 1976 until December 2011 in the field of individual, institutional and social evolution.

They included the development of Unicist Business Object which are now expanded through Corporate & Professional Spin-offs.

The purpose of a technological spin-off is to provide a world-changing solution for a market. It requires having developed an innovative unique technology.

Technological spin-offs require the participation of three agents:

1) The provider of the innovative solution

2) The marketplace builder

3) The investor

“By definition” innovations require the development of a new marketplace which needs the necessary investment to develop it until the new value adding solution is part of the establishment of a market.

When corporations develop the spin-offs the investor and the marketplace builder might be one.

Spin-offs are successful when the innovative technology solves an extreme scarcity by providing solutions that were not possible before. That is why the spin-off business is meaningful when it provides “world-changing” technologies.

The Unicist Approach to Businesses is Objects Driven

April 16, 2012 in Intelligent Systems / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots tagged business architecture / growth strategies / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Confederation / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / unicist approach by Diego Belohlavek

Nature is organized by objects and the unicist approach emulates the organization of nature in order to promote the expansion of businesses.

The unicist approach allows expanding businesses using gravitational, catalyzing, entropy inhibiting, inhibiting and driving objects.

This allows that the operational aspects of businesses are managed making them safer, saving energy while accelerating the production of results.

The use of objects requires no previous knowledge of their intrinsic functionality. All what is needed is using them at an operational level with the predefined timing in order to work in a synchronic way with the work processes where they are inserted.

But they do not replace people; they upgrade the results of their work. The processes need to be managed by people who use the business objects as pilots use the autopilots of their airplane.

People need to manage the process in order to substitute the business objects when the external working conditions exceed the predefined limits of their functionality.

The energy saved using business objects exceeds 30% of the energy consumed before their installation. It requires a transition period to move from human managed adaptive processes to business objects driven processes.

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.

Beta Version: Unicist Country Future Research Search Engine

May 12, 2010 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots tagged Country Future Research / Country future scenarios / growth strategies / scenario building / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Standard / Unicist Strategy / unicist ontology of evolution by Diego Belohlavek

The Beta Version of the Search Engine for Unicist Country Future Research using the Unicist Standard has been launched.

The discovery of the Unicist Ontogenetic Intelligence of Nature and more than 30 years of applied research allowed the development of the Unicist Standard for Country Future Research. This Search Engine is now available to provide the unicist standard for future forecasts. It is a standard that allows the integration of fundamental analysis with technical analysis to develop reliable knowledge to exert influence on future scenarios.

You can access a Free 30-day Trial at:
http://www.unicist.net/uscfr.shtml

The Unicist Standard for Country Future Research provides the necessary information to deal with the fundamentals of countries evolution.

The future does not exist. To influence the future it is necessary:

1) to discover the concepts of reality in the “past”;
2) to consider the facts of the “present”;
3) to infer the possible and probable “future”.

To develop future scenarios, we strongly recommend using both the Unicist Fundamentals technology and the Technical Analytical tools.

After you have developed the two future scenarios of a country, a region or the world following the Unicist Standard approach and the Technical Analytical approach, you will have to ensure that their results are consistent. They cannot be contradictory. If they are, you have to revise your analysis, until they become compatible.

Work: Lazy minds live in parallel realities

May 7, 2010 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots tagged Business Diagnosis / Fundamental analysis / growth strategies / Intelligent Systems / Unicist Business Strategy / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Standard / Unicist Strategy / Unicist Thinking / unicist ontology of evolution by Peter Belohlavek

The Unicist Standard for human behavior defines that “Lazy minds” create fallacies to avoid assuming responsibilities.

It has to be considered that:

1) humans need to minimize their energy consumption;
2) the brain is the most energy consuming organ of the human body;
3) fallacies are the less energy consuming thoughts of individuals.

“Lazy minds” generate personal attitudes to minimize the commitment of individuals with their environment. For lazy minds, work is not a value adding activity, just a pastime activity to earn money. Therefore fallacies become the natural response. To avoid measuring the value they add they measure their intentions.

The motto “Time is Money” was invented for them. It justifies their earnings without considering their added value. Time is not money in the real world, just a cost. The added value produced is what is worth money.

“From now on” are the most used words by lazy minds (some cultures prefer saying “tomorrow”) and “the need of change” is their excuse. Focusing on what they can produce is their solution.

But… Who can focus on work in a parallel world?

It is up to you! – We all need to live some time in parallel worlds.

Another but… Work is Work!

Reliable Knowledge: The Unicist Standard in Diagnostics

April 21, 2010 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots tagged Business Diagnosis / Fundamental analysis / growth strategies / Peter Belohlavek / Unicist Business Strategy / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Standard / Unicist Strategy / unicist ontology of evolution by Peter Belohlavek

Businesses are an example of adaptive systems and require dealing with their integrity in order to influence them to achieve objectives. A paradigmatic case is to “make” an adaptive system grow, e.g. a business.

It is necessary to have an integrated knowledge to influence the evolution of adaptive systems. Changes in adaptive systems cannot be pulled nor pushed. Evolution needs to be catalyzed in order to achieve possible goals.

Catalyzing implies installing objects in the processes that work as “strange attractors” to produce the results they were created for. To do so it is necessary to develop a conceptual design of the problem in order to integrate all the elements that are part of the system.

To achieve the goal of having reliable knowledge of an adaptive system it is necessary to have both the fundamental knowledge and the technical analytical knowledge.

Fundamental knowledge

The knowledge of the fundamentals of a reality is basic for individuals’ actions. It is stored in the long term memory and allows spontaneous actions in real-time.

The conscious knowledge of the fundamentals of a given reality has the following characteristics.

1) Defines possibilities
It defines the field of what is possible to be achieved.
2) Allows front-view
It makes the perception of the final picture of actions possible.
3) Destructive tests
It requires making the necessary destructive tests of their validity in order to measure the limits of their functionality.
4) Sustains maximal strategies
It allows going beyond the boundaries of the present situation because it works in homologous fields.
5) Backward-thinking: Pert thinking
It is based on seeing the solution and starting from the conceptual output when developing taxonomic action plans.
6) Future oriented
In the short or the long run all living beings will act according to their nature. Understanding the nature, defined by the fundamentals, allows forecasting the future.
7) Systemic & Conceptual thinking
Systemic and Conceptual thinking are necessary to apprehend the fundamentals using conceptual thinking to develop taxonomies using systemic thinking.

Synthesis: Fundamentals are action driven
Fundamentals are necessary to develop activities in real time having the needed speed and acceleration to influence reality.

Technical-analytical knowledge

1) Defines the probabilities
It allows making the analysis of the experiences to define the probabilities of occurrence of facts.
2) Allows rear-view
As it is based on facts and theories it is necessary to analyze the past in order to learn from it.
3) Non-destructive tests
Technical-analytical knowledge works within predefined boundaries. Therefore the knowledge is only valid within these limits. There is no need for destructive tests.
4) Sustains minimum strategies
Minimum strategies require a strict procedure to make things happen without depending on external elements. Technical analytical knowledge allows developing these procedures within the boundaries individuals can manage.
5) Forward-thinking: Gantt thinking
It defines the elements that need to be built and integrated following a step by step approach. It implies dividing reality into “independent” objects to integrate them afterwards.
6) Past & Present Oriented
Analysis requires the existence of elements that are being observed, measured and analyzed. Therefore it is based on the pre-existence of these elements.
7) Analytic & Systemic thinking
Analytic thinking is necessary to divide reality into manageable elements and systemic thinking is necessary to reintegrate them in a functional unit.

Synthesis: Technical-analytical knowledge is control driven
Technical analytical knowledge is necessary to measure and compare the existing facts with the objective that had to be achieved.

Producing growth

A system grows when it appropriates more energy than it has spent to produce it. This implies that it needs to generate an added value to the environment that is higher than the cost to produce it.

Growth problems are always big changes

A big change is necessary when an adaptive system, e.g. a business, wants to grow beyond the natural growth driven by the trends of the environment.

Big changes are energy consuming. Therefore it has to be clear if the energy is available. The use of objects is an energy multiplier. Objects are a mass that provides a source of energy to influence change.

The energy available depends on the technology and the knowledge to make use of the technology. Objects are part of the technology that has to be available.

Most of the failures in growth happen because the energy required is not available. This might happen because of the lack of hardware (including objects), software or peopleware.

Knowledge includes the human factor and defines the possibility to generate additional added value to go beyond the existing boundaries to expand the vital space of the system in order to make growth happen.

Conclusions

Managing both the fundamental and the technical-analytical knowledge is necessary to influence adaptive systems to grow.

The knowledge of fundamentals will give you the front-view to produce the growth and the technical-analytical knowledge will give you the rear-view to control the process.
