Unicist Strategy: The Past and the Future are not symmetric

Future can only be managed knowing the fundamentals that rule it. The Unicist Standard was developed to influence reality in order to make a “future” happen.

The “future” (fundamentals) drives action and the “past” (technical analytical knowledge) sustains the energy conservation.

Maximal strategies are driven by the knowledge of fundamentals and minimum strategies are sustained by the technical analytical knowledge.

Future scenarios, diagnoses, strategies and business organization are typical activities that deal with the future. As past and future are not symmetric, a different result can only be achieved if the fundamentals are managed.

Fundamentals are, by definition, the functional description of the essences (the nature) of a specific reality and require an extreme effort of abstraction in order to “grasp” them.

This abstraction is what we call unicist reflection which is necessary to apprehend the nature of something. The core of the reflection process is the confirmation of the hypothetical fundamentals with the necessary “pilot tests” which are real actions in the environment.

The Unicist Standard implies managing the fundamentals of reality to influence the future and having the necessary technical-analytical knowledge to deal with the present based on the past.

It all begins with the knowledge of the fundamentals to find out if the desired future is possible. This is an extreme abstraction effort to deal with a non-symmetric solution.

Only those who need to influence the future in their environment need to deal with fundamental analysis. This is a precondition to apprehend the Unicist Standard.

Those who are used to working with the “benchmarks” of the past are threatened by this technology. They cannot deal with the innovation that is implicit in the future.

Market Growth: Ensuring the Commercial Critical Mass of Businesses

March 15, 2015 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Behavioral Tools / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Logical Approach / Unicist Ontogenetic Maps / Unicist Standard tagged Diana Belohlavek / Diego Belohlavek / Marketing / The Unicist Corporate University / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Strategy / Unicist Theory of Evolution by Peter Belohlavek

Having the necessary critical mass to influence the market is necessary to build structural growth. Commercial critical mass uses the fundamentals of social critical mass to build concrete commercial actions that allow influencing the market.

Social critical mass applied to marketing is the integration of:

Superior aesthetics, which implies satisfying the manifest and latent needs of the potential customers.
Superior influence which allows stimulating the buying process
Superior credibility which implies that the superior value propositions are sustained by an adequate authoritative context.

The commercial critical mass building integrates:

Installing superior product/service attributes that are perceived as attractive by the market.
Building product/service brand attributes to differentiate the value propositions and influence potential buyers..
Building institutional brand attributes that sustain the credibility of the product brand attributes.

The use of critical masses requires a segmented approach that has to consider the functional, psychological, conceptual and lifestyle segmentations to ensure the functionality of the critical mass. These segmentations need to be transformed into profiles in order to be used by everyone.

Having a critical mass to influence buyers is a basic condition to be considered as the first choice in the mind of the potential buyer. To build commercial critical masses it is needed that the responsible person feels that s/he has a critical mass in the environment.

Architecture, conceptual design and process automation

January 23, 2015 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Objects / Unicist Standard / Unicist Strategy / Unicist Theory of Evolution / Unicist Tweetinar tagged Business Architecture / conceptual design / Conceptual engineering / Process Automation / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Conceptual Management / Unicist Evolutionary Approach by Peter Belohlavek

The first aspect to be considered is to relate the architecture of a given reality with its conceptual engineering. Conceptual engineering defines a problem’s architecture. To do so it is necessary to structure the ontology of that reality.

Architecture is used to define the concepts of a reality materializing them as solutions, within the possibilities of existing knowledge.

Redesigning the automation of a process implies restructuring its functionality in terms of effectiveness.

Effectiveness = Efficiency*Efficacy*Automation

The concept of effectiveness was discovered at the beginning of the seventies.

The first approach to effectiveness was adding efficiency plus efficacy to achieve the best possible result.

It was an empirical solution developing work processes optimizing the efficiency of the systems and the efficacy of humans.

In those times people were trained to develop the necessary skills to manage the working processes.

The results of this theory were inconsistent. “Change resistance” was the natural explanation for inadequate results.

The research of effectiveness, considered as a complex system, showed that its components should not be added, but integrated. Integration means conjunction. Conjunction, in mathematical terms, means multiplication.

This was the first approach to ontological analysis of working processes, integrating its three components, considered in those times as variables, which at the end were defined as the functions of a concept.

Analyzing a working process from an ontological point of view implies recognizing a different reality of workflow. It is much more flexible and offers much more possibilities than the empirical addition of efficacy + efficiency.

Peopleware: the integrator of hardware and software

November 16, 2014 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Process Management / Unicist Standard / Unicist Strategy / Unicist Tweetinar / Unified Field tagged Business Architecture / Organizational Design / Peopleware / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Standard by Peter Belohlavek

Peopleware is defined by the structure of objects that individuals have in their minds which define the models they use when dealing with hardware and software at work. It provides the necessary information to transform business architectures into operational business models.

Peopleware is what allows integrating hardware and software providing the true driver of the business model.

It is necessary to understand the organizational equilibrium laws, the natural organization and the object driven business model in order to manage peopleware.

When peopleware has been defined and adequate aesthetic use of software with a solid hardware will make business processes operational.

Peopleware is perhaps the most significant development to provide business operational solutions to companies.

It allows transforming administrative systems into adaptive systems to upgrade work processes when managing businesses as unified fields.

Peopleware provides the utility to operational business models allowing software to be user friendly (aesthetic for the user) and the functionality of hardware to become solid.

By definition, an approach that deals with the deepest human drivers to work is abstract. This abstraction needs to be apprehended in a reflection process to approach solutions for work processes.

Peopleware is business architecture applied to work process design. Therefore, it is for people who have a sound knowledge of the business that is being modeled.

The Unicist Confederation is organizing spin-offs

August 25, 2014 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Behavioral Tools / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Functional Design / Unicist Standard / Unicist Strategy / Unicist Theory of Evolution / Unified Field tagged Unicist Evolutionary Approach by Diana Belohlavek

The market expansion of the Unicist Confederation is organized based on corporate and professional spin-offs.

Corporate spin-offs are business units that are installed in companies to provide solutions for their markets and activities.

The business units might be insourced or outsourced.

The professional spin-offs are developed by partners that have a Unicist R&D business unit to research the adaptive aspects of businesses in order to develop diagnoses, strategies, architectures and install business platforms and business objects for end clients.

The Unicist Confederation is the business arm of The Unicist Research Institute, a pioneer in complexity science research that changed the paradigms in the business world.

The Unicist Institutional Maturity Model for Businesses

July 28, 2014 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Functional Design / Unicist Standard / Unicist Strategy / Unified Field tagged Unicist Evolutionary Approach by Peter Belohlavek

The maturity of an organization defines the company’s capacity for growth. The Unicist Institutional Maturity Model (UIMM) has been developed to define the type of strategies and architectures that can be used in a company. The higher the maturity level the more expansive a business can be.

This model is the synthesis of almost 40 years of applications in more than 500 organizations and thousands of individuals, which allowed confirming that the individual work culture and the business culture are defined by the work / business processes that are being used.

As it is known, the Unicist Standard was developed to manage the adaptiveness of human actions in the individual, institutional and social fields. It establishes the basic fundamentals that need to be managed in any adaptive process.

The Unicist Maturity Standard has been developed to define the maturity of work processes in the individual and business field in order to define the critical mass an individual or organization has to influence the environment to grow. Growth implies going beyond existing boundaries, which implies “globalization” within a country or in the world.

The output of a retreat has been transformed into Unicist Maturity Guidelines to be used by our partners. These guidelines are being applied since April 2, 2014. The Unicist Maturity levels are fully compatible with the maturity levels of the CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration)

Unicist Institutional Maturity Model – UIMM

There is an initial stage, Level 1 that can be divided into two entrepreneurial approaches, level A and B.

A) Money driven Organizations

Their goal is to profit from the environment in a materialistic way. They are driven by individual monetary goals and manage the business driven by their cash-flow.

B) Power driven Organizations

Their goal is to obtain profits following the subjective rules of their owners. They are entrepreneurial organizations driven by the need to follow the non-structured orders of the entrepreneurs.

2) Materialistic driven Institutions

Their everyday activity is driven by the guidelines that are strictly followed to ensure the operational results.

3) Ideology driven Institutions

Their everyday activity is driven by strict rituals and methods that materialize the ideology. They establish a defined path to behave within the rules.

4) Value driven Institutions

Their everyday activity is driven by the methodologies they have. They are strict in the application of their methodologies, which implicitly include the vision of their activity.

5) Transcendence driven Institutions

In a transcendence driven institution the institutional vision is used in everyday activity. It has flexible methodologies to apply the vision but strict methods to follow the operational rules.

The maturity of an organization evolves based on the functionality and success of its rules and procedures. The flexibility of its business processes is a consequence of having achieved an adequate reliability level in the application of the methods.

Business Growth = Market Confrontation

January 19, 2012 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Functional Design / Unicist Object Driven Organization / Unicist Standard / Unified Field tagged Unicist Evolutionary Approach by Unicist Confederation

The market expansion campaign 2012 has begun: The Unicist Approach is a new starting point to manage businesses. When expansion begins, fears rise to their maximal level.

Sun Tzu said: “The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.”

The Unicist Approach to businesses includes the development of plans A, B, C and D that integrate the need of avoiding defeat and the opportunity to achieve the maximal strategy.

Only one thing can destroy the success of a market confrontation: The Factor Zero:
