BELIEVING THE UNBELIEVABLE If any items below seem outre, beyond possible, consider I have spent years building tools for upping personal mental productivity, new interfaces (social, cognitive, and technical), a replacement for prose itself, and applied them for follow up years:  typing tightly-argued well-structured citation-complete 2000 pages each year is easy for me as a result (and easy for my better students)--keep that in mind when the below throws you into incredulity or doubt, please.  4 of my seminar students from Japan are now professors, and a dozen more will become professors over the next five years.  I am not powerful, nor rich, but sincere and used to hard, intense, productive, joyful, lasting work---I thank God for that blessing  every single day, without exception.  Not disconnectedly, I have served elite and very poor populations all my life--trying for some sort of justice through balance. 

EXCITED ABOUT IDEAS & LIFE, APPLY THE EDUCATION METHODS THAT I INVENT  I am not your old boring lecture type of professor but use a dozen methods of knowledge transfer and generation/fusion/application that I invented.  I am excited about ideas because I tested them in my work career in NGOs, in corporations, in agencies, on 4 continents--ideas WORK and work powerfully!!!  I transfer that excitement fully to my students!

TWO LIKELY CONCERNS YOU HAVE My experience has been that readers of the below develop one of two concerns:  one, that no real human could do all that is described below (an incredulity effect caused by missing how all I have done is based on specific tools and inventions that increase cognitive productivity); two, that the variety in the below means I lack depth and focus (caused again by not having concrete exposure to my tools for achieving breadth WITHOUT dilettantism and shallowness).    Be assured that I think largely like you do, only I employ tools of great power not yet generally available. and be assured that I dislike breadth attained at a cost of shallowness as much as you do, so any breadth in the below has commensurate depth in, under, through, and around it, enabled by the tools I invent and use. 

RUNNING TOWARDS THE LIGHT There are extremely abstract views and concepts that unify the initially bewildering variety in my below doings.  Try me out---I want my next years to be filled with leadership, accomplishment, service, fun, and inspiring a new generation of global leaders.  There are 100 dissertations I wish to enable (though, realistically, I will be lucky to do 20 of them in my next years).  I was born in a particularly nasty dark part of the world and have ever since been running as fast as I could towards the light!

MY RATHER MODEST CONTRIBUTIONS TO THOUGHT---
Platonic Surveys to Define Basic Terms of Thought:
1) developed EXCELLENCE SCIENCE (see below)
54 ways to be excellent in any traditional field from n = 8000
2) developed CREATIVITY SCIENCE (see below)
60+ ways to be creative replacing assumed single way
3) developed DESIGN SCIENCE (see below)
doctoral design program based on researching design genres and approaches as mixes of 60+ creativity models
4) developed SYSTEMS SCIENCE via my model of 256 types of systems effects, my social automata types, my response to responses matrices methods
5) developed QUALITY THEORY (see below)
totalizations & globalizations of one body of knowledge that worked well (in TQM movement) applied to other bodies of knowledge
6) developed PERFORMANCE THEORY uniting drama/theatre performance with work organization performance with cultures as performances; democratizations of composition, audience entities interactedly-performed by experts, the anthropological and theological stances toward audiences, AUDIENCE SCIENCE combining quality totalizations, globalizations, with anthopologic and theologic stances
7) developed INNOVATION/TECHNOLOGY/INVENTION MANAGEMENT THEORY (see below)
45 models of innovation; 64 dynamics of tech clusters, 64 sources of entrepreneurship, social psych of invention
8) developed CULTURE SCIENCE (see below)
9 powers, 64 dimensions, 16 operations on: cultures;
cultures of: selves, devices, eras, genders, bsns. practices,
invented method for transplanting practices across cultures
9) developed SCIENCE OF ART (see below)
64 purposes of all arts as measure of art greatness
10) developed GAMING (not game) theory (see below)
64 emotive,social,cognitive,perceptive,motor memory response types times 64 purposes of all arts = 376 game types, only 24 of them have yet been commercialized!!
11) developed STORY THEORY (see below)
next steps in games/stories as next steps in models of creativity that each person's life story is = 60+ next interesting story/game/life steps, 1 for each of 60+ models of creativity
12)developed JUST-IN-TIME MANAGMENT THEORY(below)
64 basic leadership functions plus alternate ways to deliver them in correct types/amounts besides a special social class of people (expensive fixed inventory) of "managers"
13) developed GREENE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS (below)
before, after, and BEYOND MBAs---all beyond business that business needs; 50 tested courses of action research
14) developed INTERFACE THEORY and REPLACEMENT FOR PROSE (see below)
bushy inputs and media (web and others) hiding number, names, ordering of their points, inspired by prose, a very old interface, can be improved by fractalization regularized in various ways--result: a new way to write making point count/names/order visible at a glance, obviating laborious decoding of prose text--new kinds of writing, new web pages types, self indexing documents, a publishing of readings industry result
15) developed MICRO-ORGANIZATION SCIENCE (below)
Normal meetings & discussions are at best semi-structured, wasteful messes (they lack organization--the missing "micro" layer)--new face-to-face ways to interact from democratic rules of order, social automata theory, social indexing theory, and fractal interface theory outperform usual meetings and discussions and make possible new types of mass workshop event doing work functions faster more visibly than processes or departments, great for our coming web-process era.
16) developed SOCIAL INDEXING THEORY (see below)
Measure of current social group arrangements find we, on
average, operate knowing less than 7% of the interests, needs, and capabilities of those around us. High performers
average at best no more than at 22% social index levels.  The effects of social indexing on performance, and how to increase social indexing levels in types of groups I research, along with web/social-media impacts on social index levels and purchase/click-thru rates modified by web pages designed to impact social index levels.

                  Some Skills for the Future of Design
HONESTLY SPEAKING, I combine the:
        advanced software,
        business start up & management,
        operating-across-cultures,
        quality globalization,
        audience-engagement-satisfaction,
        crowd-sourcing, micro-donation, grant-cascades,
        event management,
        public speaking, performance design,
        and creativity skills
that ALL DESIGN colleges and careers will need in our future.  Digital is the new "material" of design and a great earning power fallback for all artists---digital saves arts!  WATCH these next years as the USA copies the English UK move into creativity and design from 15 years ago.  Design is how advanced economies compete with India and China supply competition. 

SOME OF MY PRINCIPLES OF LEADERSHIP & ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP:
1. diversity--faculty should not resemble each other
2. directiveness--faculty are like an association of entrepreneurs, each is in a business of his/her own
3. types of faculty--hire and mix five types:  idea generators, idea testers, idea synthesizers, idea transmitters, idea appliers and entice each type to evolve into and across other types as they wish (let any who wish stay with genius in their one chosen type)
4.new media threats to the face-to-face bricks-and-mortar form of university we now depend on--these are real threats changing the economics of knowledge and publishing quite generally (who will buy my lecture on econ 101 when Nobel lectures from Harvard are free on line? for instance) BUT learning-by-events (mass workshop learning and research events--see below), social automata arrangements of work in classes (see below) and action-research forms of assignment outside of class hours---these three largely do what new web media will for a decade or two not be able to match.  And they will inspire redoing of and reusing of web facilities that emerge now. 
5. the glass bead game---60+ models of creativity as 60+ ways for faculty to mingle and interact---enabled by particular event and document and web designs among them = accelerated evolution of thought and application of thought.
6. pioneers in new frontiers--the five media in which all new thoughts now gets expressed (prose, fractal replacements for prose, video, games, events)---lubricating particular faculty/thoughts into expressing themselves in these five media by proper investments in ease of expression
7. good humor--making problems smaller not bigger, making opportunities bigger not smaller--There is a theological and anthropological dimension to leading---putting people in touch with ultimates that shrink their anxieties and worries, and putting people out of the prisons of assumption, belief, and habit they were born and daily torture themselves in

PRESENTATIONS GREAT 2 WAYS--Audience connection
& ordered arrangements of diverse related ideas for action:
A COUPLE OF KEY SKILLS---if you are thinking of hiring me, consider this.  I was cleaning up an office recently and came across old course evaluations from U of Chicago and from Autofact conferences: 
1  "best speaker at any of these annual events in my opinion",
2  "a life changing experience--the best professor in my life thus far",
3  "told it like it is--honored the experience of those of us in the trenches, did not talk down to people". 
So if you need a vision installed....or an audience awakened.... or some individuals revived----just give me a call.

Second, I build these comprehensive categorical models of things, and in a world in love with narrow causal models that makes me unpopular.  BUT in presentations at conferences I got comments like and including the following: 
1  "geez, you covered everything I ever heard of on this topic--very nice to have it all on one page"
2  "to see the work of 30 or so others and your own ideas on one or two pages in readable form is very useful to me"
3  "the best organized information among all speakers here". 
So if you need 2000 ideas well ordered for use, give me a call.

  RESEARCH AND PUBLISHING THEMES OF MY WORK:
SAVING US FROM NARROWNESS:  I saw a world where topics, work, jobs, and people were becoming narrower and narrower---while problems showed up in the cracks between narrow fields/persons/jobs.  We are throwing pins at oceans and career paths reward pins though oceanic problem scopes swallow the litte pins without impact. 
INVENT TOOLS FOR HIGH GRANULARITY BREADTH:
I dedicated myself to new kinds of writing (replacements for prose) and new interfaces to ideas (fractal concept models) that made comprehensive broad models not narrow causal path ones, and, that made the names, number, and ordering of points visible on each page not hidden in strings of text. 
DEMONSTRATE POWERS OF COMPREHENSIVITY:
I publish methods and categorical models, not causal studies, in large articles (too big for most journals) and books FOR A REASON.  That much I ask scholars to understand.

REJECT, SUPPLANT, & ULTIMATELY FIX NEUROTIC EXCESSES IN RESEARCH NORMS OF TOP COLLEGES:
The global financial crisis of 2008/9 proves (with as much solidity as current correlational methods permit) that "our best and brightest" are neither good nor bright.  God did not steal US$13 trillion from us all, we stole it from ourselves via trusting MBA "sub"culture.  The Vietnam war decades earlier was a "hint" in the same direction.  Some recent big bank memos talk about a "skilled" plutocracy wielding a gullible democracy for its wealth-aggregating benefit.  It is USA top 5 colleges that mostly generate such "best" but not good and "brightest" but not smart elites---our top colleges are destroying us with their inability or unwillingness to admit and fix their culturally deep faults (publishing publishing publishing--one criterion of excellence mania--while civilizations die "not with a bang but a whimper, what rough beast slouches toward Cambridge").

THE MISSING LINK BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE GENERATION & APPLICATION Today we all can publish quantitative studies showing "an effect" without publishing with it boundary conditions and magnitudes of the "effect"---that makes for lots of articles
without much help for changing/improving the world of practice and without lasting contribution to "knowledge".  The game is:  how many effects does it take to screw in a light bulb?  One billion tenures!  Scholars are publishing "knowledge" that even they do not use; and practitioners are operating seat-of-the-pants repeating past errors endlessly--knowledge generation and application processes are de-linked, broken, illusory in our world today.  We need more sincere processes (and people, and promotion criteria). 

As Herbert Simon, Boyer, and others have belatedly without effect, said:  research needs variety, beyond mere narrow causal "effect" findings.  This is a moral and intellectual issue.  To me it is just my work and inventions.

                SOME UNIQUE-TO-ME FEATURES:
1) you can recognize me anywhere in the world by the suits I wear, using uchikake and obi materials on stretch sport fabrics;
2) I have a somewhat large personal library of books. My dean at the Univ. of Chicago was surprised at the size of this library when he received the invoice for my move to his school. 
3) I doubled permanently average per capita income of Korea's poorest village by importing portable backpack mowers that reduced women's harvest work from 7 weeks yearly to 4 days
4) was hired by U. of Chicago, without applying, 2 years before getting a PhD, because they read a manuscript of one of my books pre-publication
5) my Global Quality book chosen as one of best 21 in the total quality topic area by Purdue Univ. faculty
6) Founder of EDS personally flew me to Washington DC intelligence agencies to work after I made first sale to General Motors other than ones he made personally, using my Artificial Intelligence Workshop Fairs sales invention
7) My high performance work system was selected to be the first software demonstrated at Xerox PARC's first
Document Symposium.
8) I was the first Wellesley student to be allowed to practice teach in Weston schools
9) I design mass workshop events, one had 2000 people for 31 consecutive 16-hour each days in 440 parallel workshops whose results combined into one overall set of 16 venture technology business designs--fully staffed and funded by the end of the 31 days; another had 19 groups of 200-each for 3 days 20 hours a day, inventing 20 devices each
10) I have invented a possible replacement for prose--regularized fractal concept models--where the number, names, & ordering of points is visible at a glance on each page, requiring no laborious decoding/reading work.
11) I helped several people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis by applying latest British research confirming the ancient Chinese diagnosis--that it is a fitness condition not a disease and is "caused" by 22 factors that each hinder bloodflow to extremeties and/or organs--undo all 22 and the "disease" goes away largely.  (Note, it is also the single most profitable diagnosis in medicine). 

THE NUTSHELL ME:
***music till MIT,
***artificial intelligence programming till Wellesley,
***modern poetry/novel-song-writing till unpaid NGO,
***mass workshop design & fund raising 50 cities a year till Japan;
***computer AI language teaching in Japan & mastering total quality at 2 Deming prize winners--Matsushita/Sekisui, learning total quality till U of Michigan;
***2 MAs 1 PHD at UMich;
***founder of new businesses in 3 global firms--EDS, Coopers & Lybrand, Xerox PARC;
***hired by U of Chicago without applying because they read my McGraw Hill 1993 book Global Quality  (my Univ. of Michigan homework) at their Grad School of Business;
***taught at present Japan university last 13 years.

WHAT I DO:
1. I write large books on results of the Science of Excellence Research Project
2. I design fashions, products, interfaces, events for clients and my own work for global distribution
3. I teach research seminars at Japan's 8th ranked (by employers) private university and send students to the world's top ten grad schools
4. I research 16 areas including fractal interfaces, social automata, mass workshop event designs, cognitive and social psych of designs and interfaces.
5. I prepare for launch sometime of an add-on to existing universities) that I call Knowledge Epitome--I have a book laying it out.
6. I write, slowly, part of two comedy and 1 detective fiction novels
7. I weekly create videos on 1 of the many chapters I have already written


I have developed what may be the most comprehensive, practical curriculum in creativity applied to invention, discovery, design, and business venturing in the world--22 courses, tested on my Chinese and Japanese undergrads. I can somewhat transform passive East Asians into innovative Americans.

I am gradually redoing major design areas, putting them on a scientific research-able basis, by grounding them in my 60 models of creativity (see scribd.com for an article presenting all 60).

I am trying to establish a publishing-of-readings new industry of publishing, where classic and specialist readings of texts and related books on a topic area are published as works in their own right, getting around derivative work areas of copyright law by certain innovative treatments of topic ordering and naming.

I set up mass workshop events, such as my Invent Events in which sets of 200 people in 3 days generate 100 patents for a firm. These events are 40 or more workshops daily going on in parallel with each workshop making a different product, using procedures derived from world best experts, and the products combining to make powerful overall results.

I have invented a new technology of meeting, face to face and across electronic networks, called Social Automata, wherein excitement replaces boredom in meetings. It is based on using people as if processors in a parallel array of computers, assigning particular mental roles to them, and linking the roles in interesting topologies to maximize quality.

I have invented certain regularized fractal interfaces, one to replace all prose writing, another to replace web 2.0 browsers, another to replace current workgroup electronic cooperation topologies.

Structural cognition is a set of methods I have invented for allowing people to apply ordinary mental operators to 64 or 128 ideas, in the same time and with the same quality of outcome as they now apply those operators to 4 or 6 ideas.

I believe prose is doomed due to its poor interface properties--it hides the number of points, their names, and the principles ordering them--requiring much decoding work of readers.  My own replacement for prose--Regularized Fractal Concept Models--are published in book form Are You Creative? 64 Steps at youpublish.com.  That book has an exoskeleton not endoskeleton of point names allowing the number, names, and ordering of points to be visually grasped at a glance, instead of after much decoding as in usual prose. 

Specialties:
About half my U of Chicago MBAs said, in written evaluations, that my courses were "life changing". I try to be an inspirational leader who distributes management functions using structured workshop events that get employees to apply management functions to themselves. I wrote over 10,000 pages of methods books for educatedness, effectiveness, creativity, managing complexity, managing culture, managing self, managing cities, super selling, managing technological innovation, 45 models of innovation, 64 dynamics of hi tech ventures.

My 4000 favorite books, organized under my 450 current  interests, are available for free viewing at www.scribd.com/people/view/310309 along with free downloadable copies of some of my recent research papers.  

Some areas of my expertise:

KNOWLEDGE EPITOME--one of my quirks is the great number and variety of courses I teach--in part because I like reading and applying ideas, so I have ended up with courses in educatedness, effectiveness, creativity, handling: error, complexity, systems effects, cultures, super selling and 46 other determinants of top performance in all traditional fields; each course applies education method innovations: fractal concept models, structural cognition, social automata, others; some I teach for money but more and more I teach them for fun and to develop NGOs I care about

MANAGING BY EVENTS This has been a big part of my past and life thus far--dozens do in days of parallel expert-procedure-based workshops, work that would take small staffs months or years, with org learning and visibility profits; workshop procedures derived from world best benchmarks; Invent Events, Problem Finding WorkOuts, Customer Contact Events, 60+ others; One such event was 2000 people in 440 daily parallel workshops for 30 days, composing 500 books of 200 pages each, that completely defined and funded/staffed a host of new NGOs;

KIMONO SportFormal FASHIONS--the fit and comfort of modern sports fabrics combined with Japan's rare traditional weaves--catch everyone's attention anywhere without effort--I did these fashion designs for years just for my own wearing and amusement and one day an inebriated newly rich Chinese gentlemen, in our Osaka Ritz Carlton, begged to buy what I was wearing--so without planning to I ended up eventually selling a few designs, though that was never my intent and is not now yet my interest;

DIMENSIONS OF DIFFERENCE DESIGNS--60 models of creativity used to invent or lead your people in inventing entirely new looks, features, feels; the confidence of knowing no one else in the world can get what you got from us--this is one of my big passions--I want to put design on a scientific research basis, and not leave it to amateur hour "intuitions" and vague "insights"; I want to make good design skills available to a much wider audience than just "talented" people;

FRACTAL INTERFACES/INDEXES--one set of operators applied to similar operands in all domains and levels of a system--master 10,000 functions by mastering 10 operators and 10 abstract operand types; ways to regularize vast choice spaces or product offerings for fast, automatic verbal and muscle memory access; this is another passion I developed after seeing so much irregularity on the net--what if we had interfaces making inputs to the net more orderly and regular, therefore self-indexing? 

EXPERT GRAPHIC READINGS--for friends I used to have them choose a book and I would summarize and extend it via 50 main points of each book chapter in diagram form on a page with further references and critical commentary; that way they could read a dozen diagram pages of 50 points each instead of 200 similar looking obtuse prose pages;  they also could apply ideas immediately--ALSO, every year I diagram similarly all the chapters of the year's best non-fiction six books, so my friends can read 50 diagram pages instead of 1500 obtuse prose pages--see how many main points, names of points, and ordering of points at a glance!!!

UNIVERSITY AUXILIARY--to help my students use college better I invented 2 intense weeks before, during, or after freshman year at college, applying structural cognition tools to 3 research articles for each of 22 traditional fields plus methods for using each part and year of college for self, social, intellect, and career development--this optimizes the biggest investment kids and parents make!

COLLEGE OF CREATIVITY--years of love produced this curriculum of 92 courses on creativity, the world's broadest and deepest and most practical creativity curriculum;

SOCIO-INTELLI-TECH RESEARCH--my in-process research--the Science of Art, the Culture of Technologies, Total Quality Cognition, Informative Video, New Data Collection Means, Managing by Events, Social Automata--a New Micro Level of Organizing Replacing "Meetings", Social Indexing of Workforces and Markets, Self Indexing Documents, Web Regularization Tools, Regularized Index Spaces;

EXECUTIVE COACHING--I do monthly of CEOs and their teams, managers of creatives assisted with invent events, research assembly events, cognitive and creativity operator Work Outs, and structural cognition tools and the cognitive maps they generate--transform selves from "being" X to "having" and "managing" X;

INFORMATIVE JAPAN TOURS--PRODUCE A PRODUCT FROM EACH TOUR--I love inventing new kinds of tours--Info Tours (produce books per tour), Art and Photo Tours (produce exhibition per tour), Bicycle Tours (produce video DVD of friends met durng evening celebrations), Sector Tours (produce guide book per tour), Expert Tours (produce interview book/DVD per tour), Expatriot Adjustment Tours (tour your home, work, city, environs meeting what is there to meet and finding outlets for all your needs from bars to intellect (produce a Personal Work and Play and Life Guide to your new home area per tour), Product Invention Tours (video extreme products/services, present in evening celebrations, turn into market descriptors/principles, invent new products for all your new model dimensions--invent a product per tour);

EXPERT GRAPHIC READINGS--I turn each chapter of books others choose into a one page diagram of that chapter's 50 main points, critiqued with further references and rebuttals. other times I choose the 6 best books of each year in some topic area and turn them all into a book of diagrams so friends read one  book of graphics not 6 books or boring prose; apply ideas immediately;

STRUCTURAL COGNITION--I spend time teaching people how to apply ordinary mental operators not to six or 8 ideas at a time but to dozens of ideas in fractal patterns at a time, in the same elapsed time and quality as others handle 8 ideas.  This multiplies mental productivity by a factor of 100 in about six weeks of work. 

SOFTWARE POWER--I design mass workshop events using any of 64 different algorithms for software creation, to make extreme programming scientific, research based, and comprehensive, & get it out of amateurism;

MANAGING BY EVENTS I design events that let dozens or hundreds do in days, using procedures borrowed from world experts, what small staffs would take years to do amateurishly--Invent Events, Customer Contact Events, Problem Finding WorkOuts, Solving WorkOuts, Evidence Based Marketing/Management Events, Research Assemblies, Phone Research Events, Idea Room Events and 64 others.  Many parallel workshops each using procedures borrowed from world experts, with intermediate results shared among workshop groups, in social automata formats.

FAVORITE MUSIC: Sarah Vaughn's Brazil Album plus the lark ascending by Ralph von Williams; some Massanet; Ashita by Hirahara; laura nyro first album, early Francoise Hardy "on est bien peur de chose...", all of Diamantes (Japanese salsa group), all of Le Couple (Japanese love group), Smithsonian blues recordings; John Mayall blues; Tom Rush; Bach's air on a G string; hate Beatles and anything like Beatles and other bugs; love You're My World; various Dusty Springfield; Egyptian belly dance backgrounds; Masuda Seiko's Anata ni Aitakute, and Akai Sweetpea; Mannatsu no Kajitsu; Meiji Ichidai Onna and Tokyo Kiddo; Monty Alexander, especially the album with Exodus in it; Richard Bono's blends of 4 cultures in each song; La Chansonetre and lots of chanson; --the theme for my funeral is from Kabochya Shyokai, a Chindon group

HERE BEGINS MY JOB HISTORY (COPIED FROM LINKEDIN) FROM PRESENT TO UNIVERSITY DAYS:

Professor of Knowledge and Creativity Management at Kwansei Gakuin University, 1995 – Present (13 years)
My undergrads read 116 English graduate level research books, structurally diagramming 50 main points from two key chapters in each in their junior year and making presentations on chapter contents their senior year. The same books get read twice, once in 3rd and once in 4th year. 9 books I wrote are included in the 116. 4000 books organized under 450 of my interests (posted on scridb) are used to assist thesis work. My students go to some of the world's top ten universities for grad school, averaging very high GRE and Toefl writing scores.

My seminar involves leadership and creativity and mastering the five common cultures of business that reduce innovation in businesses: male culture, American, technology culture, hierarchy culture, and capitalism culture. 96 particular methods of effectiveness from 150 of the world's most effective people are mastered by these students in the three years of my research seminar.

Kimono SportFormal Fashions, Fractal Interfaces and Indexes, Social Index Services at Dimensions of Difference Designs 1984 – 2008 (22 years)
I do product, graphic, event, interface, technology design--all based on my 60 models of creativity and 128 steps to becoming a creator. My bugaboo is mere insight based designing--I have data showing the value of my designs in customer and market impact. My designs are grounded in creativity theory and practices.

I also do fashion design with the lines Kimono SportFormal Fashions, Casual Celebrity, and Global Warming Suits. These are all based on research in design dimensions derived from models of creativity.

I also design events, interfaces, and technologies using fractal interface and social indexing events and concepts.

I sometimes wear my own fashion designs to gather data on the impact/impression they have on particular audiences.

Lecturer in Quality Management at University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business, 1992 – 1997 (5 years)
Taught: Time Series up to Arima; Neural Net Time Series Estimators, Total Quality Processes for Forming Venture Technology Businesses, Re-engineering Research for Internet Speed, Transplanting Business Practices Across Cultures, Transplanting Leadership Practices Across Cultures;

Research: Got 5 people in each of 63 strata of society, half global, half US, to nominate 54 orthogonal fields cutting across all traditional fields like medicine, business, law, psych, and determining who rises to their tops, then they nominated 150 for each of those 54 ortho fields that we interviewed for defining their ortho field of expertise: educatedness, effectiveness, creativity, error handling, complexity handling, culture handling, etc.

Co-Founder: Qsoft Venture Spin-Off; at Xerox PARC
1988 – 1992 (4 years)
Hired to save Baldrige Award application because IT has nothing to show examiners--I set up 40 high technology circles, and quickly caught examiner attention with 40 workgroups of ordinary employees learning artificial intelligence programming.

Used total quality process to spec software for a Taguchi application, the result a front end and back end to competitor Taguchi applications (when they sold one of theirs I sold one of mine = effortless market dominance). I interviewed Genichi Taguchi in Japanese to extract his optimization strategies for the software.

Founded the High Performance Work Center, the 1st presentation at Xerox PARC's first Document Symposium of top Xerox 400 managers. This software automated work processes, both the in meeting processes and the outside-of-meeting processes of work. It used structured conversations to capture process knowledge from ordinary employees and turned that into code automatically, the performance of which employees edited.

totalizing & globalizing bodies of knowledge at my independent quality research , 1978 – 1992 (14 years)
Research questions:
(1) TQM totalized a body of knowledge, quality knowledge, 33 ways; what other bodies of knowledge benefit from those totalizations?
(2) Quality totalization (6 Sigma) was followed by 20 globalizations in Japan; what other bodies of knowledge benefit from globalizations?
(3) TQM became THE theory of how to apply info tech to businesses; what do 33 totalizations & 20 globalizations do to software ventures & systems?
(4) Just-in-Time leadership replaces fixed expensive inventories of managers, a social class, as a way to deliver leadership functions; how convert class means with event means to deliver these functions?
(5) events replace processes which replaced departments; what is the optimal weave of e-mediated contact with event based contact?
(6) discussions/meetings follow ancient habits, new social automata arrangements use people as if processors in fixed arrays--what social automata types outproduce traditional discussions/meetings the most?

Founder, High Technology Circles Practice at Coopers & Lybrand Consulting, 1987 – 1988 (1 year)
When I joined, people were selling two half million dollar each software AI projects to Wall Street firms a year for $1million average per partner in sales. These were large projects that did not come in in time and none were profitable. I fixed this immediately by selling 30 $100,000 each shorter simpler less risky projects to drug firms in New Jersey, then to Wall Street firms in Manhattan. I toured companies, interviewed managers, spotted 30 application AI could do, got volunteer workgroups to extract the needed knowledge, set up 4 hours of weekly training and two programming weeks where expert programmers put that knowledge into code. The result I sold two $3million projects my first year--six times the best previous sales by partners.

Founder, Artificial Intelligence Workshop Fairs at Electronic Data Systems, 1985 – 1986 (1 year)
2000 sales persons had sold nothing to GM, EDS's largest customer (and owner) in 2 years. I was hired as programmer but I instead tackled the biggest problem my company had. I reversed the rather militarist culture of EDS that was making sales fail and invented a Solution Culture, that was feminine--listening not talking, admitting weakness not bragging, praising customer expertise not bragging about own expertise, etc. We created one day mass workshop events of 30 GM engineers presenting possible AI project solutions to this year GM priorities in the morning, each matched by working software application demos from non-EDS companies in the afternoon. Remarks by viewing GM managers were transcribed and published to top 2000 managers of the GM division. Result, after 3 events, $16 million in software sales, the first sales by anyone other than Ross Perot. As a result Ross flew me personally to Langley for government work.

Consultant at ADAPT (Sole Proprietorship)
1983 – 1986 (3 years)
While studying for 3 grad degrees at U of Michigan I consulted when possible. Procter & Gamble heard a Yankee group presentation I made on Japan entering US markets and they were interest that I learned things from my years in Japan that their managers did not learn. I was hired to tell them how to keep Kao out of P&G's North American markets. I did a video, shown to some managers till the chairman of Kao bought Jerkins and stood on its front saying he would bury P&G in 20 years. That made my video popular with vice-chairman Laco who mandated that all see it. We took videos of P&G managers denying the message of a Japan threat, and that changed the culture and provoked P&G's initiative to wed systems with Walmart before Kao does that. I started the initiative to link systems with Walmart with my videos--I had a lot of help from P&G insiders.

Fund raiser, Mass workshop Designer at Institute of Cultural Affairs, 1968 – 1976 (8 years)
I asked Huston Smith (of Dalai Lama fame) at MIT for an organization "rebuilding Western civilization". He gave me a phone number in Framingham, Mass. I joined and visited 50 different North American cities each year, visiting the 20 richest families per city, raising funds, for three years. Then I designed workshop procedures for mass workshop events of 2000 people meeting in 200 parallel daily workshops for 30 consecutive days. I also set up participatory town meetings in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and parts of Europe. I doubled per capita income of Korea's poorest village by importing portable mowers that ended harvest suffering for 7 weeks/year of village women and cash income the thusly liberated women got caused envy in men which caused men to get interested in other development tactics.

Fortran I, APL, Lisp 1.5 Programming Jobs at 3 high school summer holidays, 1963 – 1966 (3 years)
I developed software in Fortran I that binomially expanded the stress integrals of bridge design, keeping integer coefficients, and final integrated series were both simple and very accurate.
I assisted an astronomer using WWII refractors on the Blue Ridge Mountains, by building a star identification program in APL that also built star maps plotting new star/galaxy/nebulae locations.
A research scientist at a center across the street from my home, befriended me and gave me the LISP 1.5 manual from MIT when it arrived, telling me to learn it and use it to control a giant crystal growing machine he used--I built a program that did that.

My Philosophy of Living
1. If, knowing when and where someone was raised and educated, you can predict nothing at all about what he does, thinks, and believes, he is an educated man. 2. Merely being what you were born and raised to be---male, American, etc.--is un-educated and risky; it is better to "have" all that, that is, to wield it from an emotional distance.  Psychologic growth is in large measure a matter of transforming the being of X into the having of X, where X is aspects of one's identity.  So, for example, if an American likes being an American and automatically & easily uses their ways--he is suspect. If, to the contrary, he worries about being misled by his own American-ness and every few minutes takes concrete actions to keep it limited and at bay, under his control, he can be trusted. Anyone who easily and automatically is himself, is somewhat a threat, a danger to us all. 3. There are at least 60 diverse models of what being creative is--actions taken to make yourself "more creative" if based on no particular model, undo more creation than they create.

University of Michigan
Masters, Higher Ed: cyber/virtual organizations, 1983 – 1986
Web communities  investigated using questionnaires and interviews. Network theory results on the lumpiness of real human nets applied to predict cyber community growth patterns.

Effects on social indexing levels of a group of web connections versus face-to-face events were calculated.

Asked by a history of Japan professor to find 4 prefigurings of Meiji Japan in Tokugawa Japan I presented him, a week later, 566 prefigurings. I just applied industrial productivity methods to normal academic work. He and I noticed how industrial knowledge management methods immensely accelerated usual academic research and made it more comprehensive.
Activities and Societies: 1) filling in my vast ignorance of the world 2) participated in founding seminars of the Santa Fe Institute 3) participated in founding seminars of Michigan's work coordination research centers 4) did spot consults--object oriented programming (Brunswick), fractal interface designs (General Dynamics), automatic text authorship recognition (Langley), systems blending as preventative for Japan threats (Walmart and P&G merging systems).

University of Michigan
Masters, Asian Studies: Chinese/Japanese Business, 1983 – 1986
Took a John Holland genetic algorithm course. Found that the Santa Fe Institute was being created and went there, participating in the early symposia, learning complexity theory.

Found in theories of history writing how contemporary frameworks greatly distort and limit amounts of historic contents available in history writings. We see the past through current concerns, concepts, biases. We project a story of what "went on then and there" rather than "perceiving" what went on then and there.

Activities and Societies: I taught U of Michigan artificial intelligence course contents to a local community college's students in Michigan, by teaching them Lotus 1-2-3 calculations, how to automate each calculation using macros, how to generalize macros using AI rulesets in macro language form. Result: my community college students matched U of Michigan grad students using U of Michigan 1st grad-course-in-AI exams. My students were too unsophisticated to know they were not supposed to be able to learn "advanced things" like AI. But indeed they learned AI very well when not told it was "hard". 

University of Michigan
Doctoral PhD, Higher Ed: total quality re-engineering of research processes, 1983 – 1986

I built a theory of total quality as 22 totalizations of a body of knowledge--quality knowledge and a theory of higher education as knowledge generation and deployment processes.  How the de-professionalization of knowledge in total quality's "totalizations" of quality knowledge interacted with professionalization of quality knowledge in the academy was predicted on a theory basis and compared with data from Carnegie Mellon University faculty at a Xerox total quality week-long training session. 

My homework for the two masters degrees and this PhD was published as Global Quality, by McGraw Hill.

Activities and Societies: Joined EDS and made first sale by non-chairman (by someone other than Ross Perot) to General Motors of advanced software systems--using AI Workshop Fairs I invented and gave over to GM management.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Bachelors of Science, Artificial Intelligence Programming and English Literature, 1967 – 1972
Al Baisley, in the upper bunk bed of my dorm persuaded me not to fear Vietnam's banana attacks on global US interests, and that LISP was better than Cobol and PL1. Played in Project MAC's PDP filled basement with Conniver, Sail, and Lisp. Traveled to Stanford twice each year to buy books from their bookstore. Spent 2 years in physics, 2 years at Wellesley, and 1 year in English composition back at MIT--but learned artificial intelligence programming every week for 5 years.

Activities and Societies: Joined non-profit ecumenical religious order re-engineering the world's poorest 104 urban neighborhoods and rural villages using Royal Bank of Canada micro-banking experiments (pre-dating Yunnus by 12 years)--junior year while completing my studies. Did zazen meditation 2 hours per morning my last two years. Did two years of cross-registration coursework at Wellesley to undo excess male-ness in MIT's culture. Studied poetry under Robert Pinsky, W.H. Auden, and writing under Lillian Hellman.

Wellesley College
cross registered, Philosophy, Education, Literature, Writing, Poetry, Psych, 1968 – 1971
I went to Wellesley to counter MIT's overly male culture and to investigate the culture differences of a campus with many women and few men.  I lived within a female culture quite different than MIT's getting insight into strengths of MIT's culture and into correctives for its weaknesses.

Elizabeth Prettyman for Shakespeare, Robert Pinsky for poetry, W. H. Auden for poetry (visiting from Harvard), Lillian Hellman for novel writing--these figures opened me to all of my own civilization and its traditions and literatures. I was in awe of them and of my own history as a result for decades.
Activities and Societies: Performed in 12 of Shakespeare's plays held at campus venues.  Became the first Wellesley student accepted for practice teaching at Weston Public Schools because Bruce MacDonald said "your spoken English is so beautiful". I developed metaphoric thought assessments based on Chinese and Turkish metaphors.
 
I and my students, using the tools I invented and teach with:
1) generate more ideas in sheer number
2) generate more diverse ideas, distributed across fractal model dimensions and levels of granularity
3) generate both more concrete and more abstract ideas
4) with tunable granularity, increasing concreteness or generality as needed
5) faster with less error and more precise naming/ordering
6) more comprehensive coverage of abstract dimensions
7) with faster, more precise, more focussed application
THAN all others in meetings, firms, cities, events.  A substantial improvement in creation, design innovativity, innovation, application, profit, and power results.  My friends tell me these unplanned demonstrations by me and my students amaze them--it is gratifying that teaching with tools designed to up cognitive performance gets the attention and respect of others whom I greatly respect.
