DESCRIPTION
It puzzles me that we have a natural adaptive, self-regulating system that we have not extended to management systemsTRANSCRIPT

A Nature Derived Management System
So many managerial
systems have four
blocks
OODA LOOP
Blue Ocean Strategy
Project Management
PDSA Cycle
And many others
Observe
Orient
Decide
Act
The OODA Loop
Plan
Do
Study
Act
The PDSA Loop
Plan
Organize
Execute
Control
The PM Loop
Raise
Create
Reduce
Eliminate
The BOS Loop
Forming
Storming
Norming
Performing
The Team Building
Stages
? What is so
special about
these four
blocks?
? They
resemble the
four
molecules on
DNA helices
They
resemble the
four
molecules on
DNA helices
They
resemble the
four
molecules on
DNA helices
But which
alternate
positions
And…
They
resemble the
four
molecules on
DNA helices
But which
alternate
positions
And…
And repeat over
helices
? So
what
?
? So
what
? If one helix (module) is impaired,
the rest will still function
? So
what
? The helical structure allows for the
flow of information
? So
what
? The chains are not rigid or too
flexibility thus increasing the
adaptability of DNA molecules
? So
what
? The four molecules synchronize
their functionality
? So
what
? No molecule shall get bored by
staying in the same place- kind of
work switching
? So
what
? Why NOT then put the four
building blocks of management
system likewise?

DNA, as
an
illustrative
example
The connecting node is learning. Learning is the bridging moiety
How about learning? After
all we are learning
organizations
Why waterfall
systems when we
have natural
iterative, self-
learning and
adaptive system
The next slides are an eye
opener that resulted from
the comments between
me and Paul Merino

This is the Merino's Eye:

It represents a slice of your Lifetime,
just before you do something of it.

Whatever you do, you can only cross it
through one of its 6 generic Doorways.

Pretty much like the 4 nucleotides of the DNA,
4 of these 6 generic Doorways represent Value Time.

The 2 others - like the 2 alternating residues
forming the DNA backbone - represent Work Time.

Depending on how you choose (or happen)
to spend your time on - that is, on Value, or on Work...

... the Effectiveness of your course of action
will vary accordingly.

Can you guess which Doorways are Value,
and which are Work?

Added Slides as a Result of Discussions with Dr. Rod King
Dr. King’s global UPS cycle is manifested on a
global scale as below
http://www.slideshare.net/RodKing/five-continents-of-the-brain-a-
visual-metaphor-for-solving-the-worlds-greatest-problems
To show this system is extensible
to all management systems
discussed in this presentation I add
the following slide for teams
The next slide is a spiral of the repeating units of the five blocks that make teams
