The Qualified Self
• Pythagoras of Samos - number is the key to reality
• Immanuel Kant - reality is comprehensible through categories of significance (schemata)
• Martin Heidegger - care of the self before care of others
• Timothy Leary – «turn on, tune in, drop out”
• Steve Mann: - Souveillance vs. Surveillance

Can categories make sense?
• The Critique of Pure Reason
• What is the relationship between “thought' and 'sensation'
• Categories of the understanding from the most formal to the most empirical
• Adapters (rules) by which a category is associated with an impression – quantity, quality, community
• Categories are associated with schemas (Modality/Time) (Quantity/Number)

The basis of our being is concern
• In-der-Welt-Sein – we live in context
• The common trait of Dasein is the capacity to care
• Concern with the issue of Being – making sense of things
• Awareness of temporality justifies engagement
• « Authentic » existence – self realization

The Figures
Obstacles to improving management
• Scorecards are only as good as the underlying data used to calculate them
• They are byproducts of the organizational effectiveness
• Semiology, Syntactics and pragmatics
• Shouldn’t “numbers crunching” require more than insuring that our scorecards are green?

The Horizon
Management isn't about doing things, it's about getting things done.
Leon Battista Alberti
• The figures provide an open window through which we see our world
• A horizon separates the present from the future
• Processes and projects constitute visual rays that permit us to move forward towards points of convergence
• The manager’s role is visualize what can be done today from will be done tomorrow
