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.

Commercial Critical MassSocial 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.

The Unicist Methodology to Research Human Adaptive Systems

 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots  tagged Business Management / Complexity research / Diana Belohlavek / Diego Belohlavek / Peter Belohlavek / Research & Development / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Standard by

The observation room for the Market Labs has been launched. It allows newcomers to become acquainted with the unicist complexity science research methodology. The Market Lab research is coordinated by Diana Belohlavek.

The methodology

There is a general research methodology that has to be followed to define the validity of a unicist ontological structure that is needed to deal with human adaptive systems.

The basic steps are:

  1. Develop the hypothetical structure of the ontology.
  2. Analyze the ontology and divide it into sub-ontologies following the laws of complementation and supplementation (only when necessary and possible).
  3. Define observable results that need to be considered to validate the ontology.
  4. Define the application fields of the ontology to validate its functionality.
  5. Develop the applications beginning with destructive and non-destructive pilot tests to forecast reality.
  6. Develop at least five experiences in the application field differing completely one from the other.
  7. Develop forecasts of at least three periods with full certainty.
  8. Restart the research process every time a deviation occurs.

Pilot Testing

Unicist Ontologies are omnipotent fantasies unless they have been tested. The testing of ontologies implies testing their functionality and requires a precise design of the tests. The “trial and error” use of objects is not a pilot test.

Pilot tests are the drivers of the unicist reflection processes. Pilot tests have two objectives:

  1. Falsification of knowledge
  2. Validation of knowledge

1) Falsification – Destructive testing

Falsification, in the field of complex problems, implies finding the limits of the validity of a given knowledge. To do so, it is necessary to develop experiences in homologous fields until the limits of validity are found. It defines the unified field that can be apprehended.

The falsification process is a destructive test for knowledge that is applied to realities with incomplete homologies. The destruction occurs when a condition is found to demonstrate the fallacy of the knowledge.

2) Validation – Non-destructive testing

Validation implies the factual confirmation of the validity of knowledge. Validation is achieved when knowledge suffices to exert influence on a reality in a predictable way.

Unicist Market Expansion: The confrontation of conquest

 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots  tagged Confrontation of conquest / Diana Belohlavek / Peter Belohlavek / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist approach / Unicist Confederation / Unicist Corporate University / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Market Expansion by

The natural path for innovations is the confrontation of conquest.

A confrontation of conquest begins when a new product with no synergy with the pre-existing products is launched. There is also a confrontation of conquest when new markets are sought.

When the products that have been launched do not belong to an existent category and satisfy non manifested needs, the confrontation of conquest begins with the weakening of some occupied niches to introduce the new product (guerrilla confrontation).

The unicist confrontation of conquest requires an empty space occupying strategy when non manifested needs are being satisfied.

The confrontation of conquest requires beginning with niches, continuing with segments and finally covering the market.

Confrontation of conquest implies a differentiation based on a strong preexistent credibility.

The Confrontation of Conquest fails when differentiation is not perceived by the market or when the influence cannot sustain the credibility of the proposal.

Conquest is based on:

  • Empty space occupation
  • Speed
  • Credibility

The first step to conquer is the occupation of empty spaces. The confrontation of market conquest begins based on the positioning in these niches.

To do so there is need for a previous action to open these niches. The action requires a non evident functional or ethical flank attack of the competitors’ solutions. Competition is lost if this flank attack is perceived.

A key factor in this confrontation is having a superior speed than that of the market leader. Higher speed is necessary to penetrate. If conquerors are slower than the market leaders they will just accumulate wishes and costs.

The conquest of markets is based on credibility. First choice positioning can only be achieved having a brand with the necessary objective and subjective attributes.

Thus empty spaces can be occupied with highly differentiated products and having a superior speed than the market defendant.

When a war of conquest is lost, the conqueror becomes a marginal competitor in that market.

What is the Unicist Approach to Market Catalysts?

 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots  tagged Diana Belohlavek / Innovation management / Market Catalysts / Peter Belohlavek / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Confederation / Unicist Corporate Universities / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Logical Approach / Unicist Market Expansion / Unicist Standard / Unicist Strategy by

The discovery of the unicist ontogenetic intelligence of nature allowed defining the triadic structure and the complementation and supplementation laws that underlie any entity.

These discoveries established the groundings to develop the unicist double dialectical logic that underlies all systems in nature.

The use of the double dialectical logic made the emulation of the organization of nature possible, developing objects to install into human adaptive systems to make them faster, safer and reliable.

The market catalysis is based on (*):

1) The use of Unicist Corporate Universities to provide conceptual knowledge to expand the boundaries of the products and services provided.

2) The use of virtual learning objects to expand these boundaries without establishing teacher-pupil relationships.

3) The development of an integrative participation with members of the market that allows exceeding the level of the buyers of the products and services.

4) The development of an innovation driven community.

5) The establishment of business relationships that exceed the customer/providers role.

6) The development of a unicist scorecard to monitor the metrics of the processes.

(*) A condition to manage the unicist approach is to go beyond the use of dualistic logic and use the double dialectical logic in order to be able to emulate dynamic processes in mind. It implies leaving behind the use of the disjunction “or” substituting it by the use of the functional conjunction “and”.

Unicist Logical Approach: Launching of Unicist Adaptive CRMs

The Unicist Research Institute developed the necessary technologies to build adaptive systems to manage automatically the feedback from the environment. One of the paradigmatic areas where adaptiveness becomes necessary is the commercial activity.

That is why the Unicist Adaptive CRM becomes the next stage for commercial organization. It uses the unicist logical information provided by the ontogenetic maps or the markets, its segments and of each of the commercial functions.

Adaptiveness is based on the existence of drivers that make it possible. The level of the drivers is the following:

1)      There are analogical drivers that are based on the recognition of patterns.

2)      There are rule based drivers that include the preexisting and add rules that correspond to the activity.

3)      There are empirical drivers that include the preexisting and add empirical information obtained using mathematical models.

4)      There are objects based drivers that include the preexisting and add concept based objects as intrinsic adaptive systems.

Unicist Adaptive CRMs are developed by in-company or outsourced Market-Labs and the rules it managed are patented for each company.

The implementation is in charge of members of the Unicist Confederation who are CRM experts.

 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots  tagged Business Management / Business Strategy / Diana Belohlavek / Fundamental analysis / Intelligent Systems / Peter Belohlavek / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Standard / Unicist Strategy / Unicist Theory of Evolution by

The Unicist Confederation is a multi-local, cooperative confederation. It is the business arm of The Unicist Research Institute (TURI), a pioneer in complexity science research that developed the unicist approach to businesses and became a world-class research organization in the field of human adaptive systems.

The positioning of research centers is objective; it depends on the breakthroughs produced and their added value to the market. Access TURI’s Brief: https://www.unicist.org/conceptual-thinking/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/turi.pdf

More than 4,400 unicist ontological researches were developed from 1976 to July2012 inthe field of individual, institutional and social evolution. The main countries that originated these researches were: US, DE,UK, FR, JP, SE, CA, CH, IN, BR, AR, CAT, RU, CN, AU.

The Business

Unicist Confederation’s members install spin-offs of business object driven solutions for the adaptive aspects of start-up, medium and large companies.

The professionals who participate need to have the necessary technical-analytical and fundamental knowledge in order to deal with the adaptive aspects of businesses. Naturally, there are four types of professional attitudes: fundamentals driven, diagnostics driven, objects driven and results driven.

The market expansion 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.

Using the Unicist Standard to learn from Unilever

 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots  tagged Business Management / Business objects / Change management / Diana Belohlavek / Leadership / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / unicist ontology of evolution / Unicist Standard / Unicist Strategy / Unicist Theory of Evolution / Unilever by

Unicist Object Driven Leadership is a back to basics. The concept of leadership is defined by the integration of Authority, Participation and Power. This is self-evident. But the question is: Which are the Fundamentals of Leadership?

In the following lines you will find an answer to the question posed in this blog last week:  http://unicist.net/management/benchmarking-unilever-unicist-object-driven-leadership/

Objects sustain the power of leaders avoiding to exert such power. In this sense, objects work as:

1) Drivers to make things happen
2) Catalysts to accelerate action
3) Inhibitors, working as a non-exerted dissuasion power
4) Gravitational forces of leaders’ authority

Using Unicist Object Driven Leadership you will be accessing a new world, which is at the same time a back to basics. It implies producing more results and being a natural leader in all those fields where you can integrate your personal action with the use of institutionalizing objects.

The basics of leadership

Leadership is based on the need to sustain one’s authority. The participation of others is a condition of leadership. A leader is such because s/he is followed. Therefore, in terms of the Unicist Logic, Participation is the active function of leadership and the energy conservation function is given by the Power a leader has to impose her/his authority. But this is a sort of paradox. The energy conservation function is given by the power the individual “does not use”. If the power is used it consumes energy and, in fact, a double amount of energy, because:

1) To impose something there is a need to exert power and consume energy.

2) When power is exerted, authority is being lost, because it means that the authority of the individual has not been accepted. And in this case, an additional amount of energy must be invested to reconstruct the value of the authoritative role.

Participation poses another paradoxical dilemma:

1) When the authority of the leader is extreme, for example a religious leader, the participation is not possible.

2) When the participation is extreme, there is no possibility to accept an authoritative role.

This solution is contraindicated for absolutist, subjectivist, fundamentalist and anarchic leaders.
