Q

What does an executive have to do to expand a part or the whole of an org?

A

All an executive has to do to expand a part or the whole of an org is to divine the basic purpose, divine or issue the subpurposes, point out an area to expand into and then remove the distractions from, barriers to and noncompliance with the basic purpose and subpurposes, and put something on the channels that augments existing impulses and expansion will begin.

Q

Q

Once the executive has executed the expansion formula and expansion has begun, what process must he follow thereafter?

A

By the process, thereafter, of just removing barriers, distractions and non-compliance, expansion can be accelerated to a point where it overwhelms all hostile efforts to contain it and the result is extremely gratifying in terms of expansion at velocity. It seems completely magical. For life instantly appears.

Q

What is the wrong way to expand?

A

The wrong way to expand is to staff and facilities endlessly (like governments tend to do) without adding to the organization itself.

If you had huge affluences occurring steadily, you would soon go into collapse if you did not expand also by organizational units or branches.

Q

What are the (2) main principles of Fast Flow Management?

A

…A being controlling traffic or activity flow should let the flow run until it is to be reinforced or indicates a turbulence will occur and only then inspects the part of the flow that is to be reinforced or is becoming enturbulated and inspects and acts on only that one flow.

…the principle of flows tells us that the executive should have statistical INDICATORS such as OIC charts on every part of the activity each week and should act only on the basis of the charts’ behaviors.

68
Q

What are the first indicators of an Org?
