The Antimatter Principle | Think Different

https://flowchainsensei.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/the-antimatter-principle

Shifting organisations to a better place. October 12, 2013. Antimatter is by far the most valuable substance. By weight, known to Man (around $25 billion per gram). It’s incredibly rare, amazingly expensive and difficult to produce, and yet is by far the most powerful energy source. We presently know of. It’s also the very epitome of alienness. Seems like a good metaphor for the Antimatter Principle – the only principle we need for becoming wildly effective at collaborative knowledge work. And all people...

What If #3 – No Telling | Think Different

https://flowchainsensei.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/what-if-3-no-telling

Shifting organisations to a better place. August 5, 2015. What If #3 No Telling. What If #3 No Telling. What if we all refrained from telling people what to do, how to do it, how they should behave, and so on? Would the world collapse in chaos and disharmony? Or would people just get on with things and sort things out between them? Here I’m using “tell” in the sense of : instruct, order, judge, announce, analyse, advise or proselytise. Here’s some fundamental shifts that. No More Training Or Teaching.

Antimatter And Deming’s 95/5 | Think Different

https://flowchainsensei.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/antimatter-and-demings-955

Shifting organisations to a better place. August 7, 2015. Antimatter And Deming’s 95/5. Antimatter And Deming’s 95/5. I note a distinct schism in business, with one camp which utterly rejects Deming’s 95/5. And another camp which wholly embraces the idea. Few sit on the fence, and pretty much never the twain shall meet. Is agnostic on the subject of Deming’s 95/5. But, depending on your camp, its relevance may be different for you. Choose to be productive, or not. Change its systems (i.e. its pro...Worki...

Therapy | Think Different

https://flowchainsensei.wordpress.com/therapy

Shifting organisations to a better place. Or to state its full name, “Organisational Psychotherapy”. Upon hearing about Rightshifting. A lot of people ask me “so if our organisation wanted to improve its effectiveness, how should we go about it? Sometimes silence or a knowing “Hmmm” is the best answer. People often work best when driven by their own curiosity, and the need to discover their own answers, I find. 8220;If you meet Buddha on the road, kill him.”. Organisational Therapy offers a non-directive...

Why Corporates Can’t Change | Think Different

https://flowchainsensei.wordpress.com/2014/09/03/why-corporates-cant-change

Shifting organisations to a better place. September 3, 2014. Why Corporates Can’t Change. Why Corporates Can’t Change. Why do Analytic-minded organisations (e.g. the typical Corporate) keep. To change yet repeatedly fail? Belief in the utility of violence. Belief in the utility of command (and control). Belief that change can be commanded (1). Belief in the utility of extrinsic motivators. Belief that change can be effected through extrinsic motivation (2). Commanding people to change fails (4). Enter yo...

Rightshifting | Think Different

https://flowchainsensei.wordpress.com/rightshifting

Shifting organisations to a better place. They say a picture is worth a thousand words:. Here we see the basic population-distribution of (knowledge-work) organisations (blue curve) with relative effectiveness plotted on the horizontal axis, and percentage plotted on the vertical axis. Also appearing here are the consequent productivity (green line) and waste (red line) curves. In a nutshell, the blue curve shows that the vast majority of organisations (peak of the curve) are highly. It does not speak to...

The Antimatter Principle – the Metaphor | Think Different

https://flowchainsensei.wordpress.com/2013/10/13/the-antimatter-principle-the-metaphor

Shifting organisations to a better place. October 13, 2013. The Antimatter Principle – the Metaphor. The Antimatter Principle – the Metaphor. I call it the Antimatter Principle. Because, to me, it’s the most valuable insight by far I’ve ever had in my whole career. Why “Antimatter”? It’s a strange name to choose, and so may spur curiosity in the folks who hear it. And may more easily lodge itself in folks’ memories. Antimatter is simple in concept, but incredibly difficult to produce in actuality. Di...

The Marshall Model | Think Different

https://flowchainsensei.wordpress.com/rightshifting/the-marshall-model

Shifting organisations to a better place. Or to give it its full title: “The Marshall Model of Organisational Evolution” – subtitled “ Dreyfus. For the Organisation”. I’ve written elsewhere. About how this model came to exist. There’s a White Paper. Introducing the actual model. And there are some online videos. Which, if you have the time, explain in some depth the basics of the Marshall Model and how it relates to the core ideas of Rightshifting. The chart also illustrates the “transition zones&#...

The Antimatter Principle – The Anti-Kanban For Almost Two Decades Already | Think Different

Shifting organisations to a better place. August 4, 2015. The Antimatter Principle – The Anti-Kanban For Almost Two Decades Already. The Antimatter Principle – The Anti-Kanban For Almost Two Decades Already. 8211; still plaguing organisations everywhere. I’m focused on real clients, and on addressing issues in the market which are appropriate for the Antimatter Principle. The Kanban Method – Yet Another Method. Where the Kanban Method really differs from the Antimatter Principle. Peter Drucker associated...
