THE NOVELTY SCIENCES SCHOOL
A new kind of School that turns:
shy East Asians
timid youth
uncertain ambitious ones
constrained company workers
harried managers, leaders, bosses
unfocused talents
in short, nearly all ordinary people
INTO historic levels of creative output and fame:
WHILE turning elite lab researchers into FAR better researchers,
with huge, more diverse, smarter repertoires of ways to create!
EVERYTHING you need to change utterly your destiny
EVERYTHING history's best did to change theirs
I have invented (grandiosely speaking):
EXPERT OUTSOURCED INSTRUCTION
This is a new format for ALL higher education:
People of great experience & expertise in one area
In compressed intense course formats offer
Courses on ALL aspects of a central topic
In a format that many colleges & corporations can SHARE
at any one locale, delivered in 4 sessions of 3 weeks each
over a 1 or 2 year period;
ADD 18 COURSES without SCHEDULE CHANGE or NEW FACULTY!!!
SHARE WITH SEVERAL OTHER COLLEGES & CORPORATIONS
ADD 18 COURSES ON 18 CONSECUTIVE DAYS,
OR 9 COURSES OF 2-DAYS-EACH IN A ROW IN 3 WEEKS
(2 SUCH BLOCKS/YEAR FOR 18 TOTAL COURSES)
ON 18 DISTINCT NOVELTY SCIENCES
A different Novelty Science Each Day for 18 Days in a Row
NOTE 1: instructors your college could not afford normally
NOTE 2: retired greats who want intense not spread teaching
NOTE 3: great practitioners shuffled in on specific days
NOTE 4: several nearby corporations & colleges share the expense
NOTE 5: course topics stay but contents benchmarked/improved yearly
NOTE 6: rising challengers decades before colleges promote them
NOTE 7: global faculty not local regional repeats
WHO AM I---THE NEXT 30 YEARS?
1) I wanted something to make perfect
2) My image was Dr. Deming's 4 day seminar
3) He taught 4 times a year for 34 years!
4) Attendees were amazed, they had never before experienced something Perfected 30 years!
5) I want to do that for creation, design, innovation, composing, performing---
the NOVELTY SCIENCES, 18 of them.
6) What I learned in Xerox PARC, in 3 Silicon Valley ventures I launched,
in a radical global NGO I built, in new media & ways to meet I invented,
in mixing Japanese "circles" with USA artificial intelligence to make Knowledge Circles, in launching my first Kimono SportFormal fashion lines, in writing my first novel, designing my first video game, PLUS what 8000 eminent people in 41 nations 63 professions, 4000 research books, and 4000 journal articles presented, compressed into 4 sets of 18-day/courses each: each day of each 18-day session is a different Novelty Science taught for 8-hours; EMPOWERED by structural cognition, social indexing, social automata, stratified responding and other unheard of methods, from world leading research.
I am perfecting a NOVELTY SCIENCES SCHOOL of 18 Novelty Sciences
--creating, design, innovate, compose, perform, game, etc.---
Instead of taking 20 years in a top college for this material,
learn ALL Novelty Sciences in 4 18-day-course each sessions,
Instead of one Right-ish model of creativity learn 60 models from
8000 eminent people in 41 nations 63 professions!
Instead of one Right-ish design approach learn 60 approaches from
150 actual designers and 1500 design research studies.
All 18 Novelty Sciences taught in succession, related to each other AND 20, 50 or more models of each of them taught in relation to each other as well! 1 Novelty Science per 8 hour day! 18 days-sciences in a row
4 18-day each sessions spread across one or two years.
An hour of models, followed by an hour of applying models--4 times in 8 hours.
I will work to do this ONCE or TWICE PER YEAR in EACH OF:
China, Japan, California, and Europe.
A GREAT CHINA first sponsor has been arranged!
CHINA is leading the way in INNOVATION EDUCATION!
My newly arranged CHINA sponsor will be the world pioneer
They will sponsor a first NOVELTY SCIENCES SCHOOL in Shanghai early 2012.
All the courses have been developed/taught by me separately,
at the Univ. of Chicago, Kansai Gaidai, Kwansei Gakuin, & Keio universities
I have written books already for most of the 18 and books for
the rest are already well underway.
NOTICE---THE FORMAT---it is designed to allow adding these 18 courses of
the Novelty Sciences school to existing colleges without schedule change or inconvenience, without great cost or any new faculty, Visiting celebrity creators/designers/innovators teach some course 2-hour sections when needed.
Corporations can add the courses yearly with employees signing up for
as many of the 18 as they wish to take each year.
THE SUBLIME---the research content, applications, and teaching in each Novelty Science Course (all 18) are nothing short of World BEST and Wonderful each and every year---aggressively updated with latest journal, conference, best practice, and results from top colleges, corporations, ventures, persons, nations, publications, labs. NOTHING AT MIT, HARVARD, STANFORD, INSEAD, NUS will ever match each of our 18 Novelty Science courses---while I am alive!!! We march to a different drummer, and to MUCH higher standards than they do. THE UNIQUE METHODS we use mean we do not read as they do, do not write as they do, do not meet and talk as they do, do not organize as they do, do not analyze as they do---we operate, in cognitive, linguistic, social neuroscience terms generations ahead of them all. We do the yearly work to make sure that is the case. We do not play around--we are the BEST. And this is just our beginning point---each year major learnings, feedbacks, and improvements, from participants, competitors, sponsors, suppliers, and global research & practice leaders are implemented fully throughout the 18 courses of the NOVELTY SCIENCES SCHOOL. Best-ness is no accident--it comes from doing the work required.
ONCE you put all the Novelty Sciences together, naturally a Novelty Sciences RESEARCH INSTITUTE and other....well.....novel things.....appear. So far people studied design without thorough comprehensive diverse models of creativity and vice versa. So far they taught innovation without showing its differences from and relations to creativity and design. In short, current research is a mess caused by study IN ISOLATION of each of 18 Novelty Sciences and study IN ISOLATION of one supposedly "best" single model of what, when we examine practice, turns out to be 50, 60, or 100 or more models of each Novelty Science. Current research is deeply deeply flawed and those flaws explain why FULLY valid and reliable creativity, design, etc. models, when applied by highly competent corporations produce little or nothing new. Major corporations applying such fully validated models of innovation, design, and creativity (from top 3 universities' top but deeply flawed researchers) have published, thinly disguised, total lack of creative results (for propriety's sake I name no names here). My Novelty Sciences Research Institute corrects all these flaws---and as a result, its results are powerful, impactful, highly financially significant. We can predict long term auction prices, approximately, for one example, from assessment of individual works alone, without reference to market competition.

POINT 7: I have improved academic/research processes of
the Univ. of Chicago Booth School and Procter &
Gamble corporation applying global quality tools;
I have co-founded five new academic programs/
centers at the best universities in Asia.
POINT 8: Miscellaneous---not to mention my participatory
democracy meetings for NGOs, 3rd world village
development work in Korea and Taiwan, dozens of
consults for government agencies and corporations,
new interfaces, devices, organization forms I invented.
POINT 9: In my research, teaching, venture launching, NGO work
I use 24 intellectual tools (of my own invention)
that make me and my students many times
as productive as competitors doing work in
the same or related fields.These tools
include new interface inventions that replace
usual forms of prose, meeting, discussing, & leading.
POINT 10: To control quality of my "advising" of masters & doctoral students
I composed an 18 month long series of workshops on
Knowledge Dynamics (in any field) applied to the field of
each student---from choosing a topic to identifying
knowledge & practice Tippling Points to
playing numbers games with journal editors--
a defined improvable quality dissertation process!
POINT 11: MONEY---the bottom line for some--
I link to pioneer firms & foundations:
P&G, ING, Mitsubishi, Google, Spencer Fdn.,
averaging one sponsor per each of my 13 main research themes
(of 5 research topics each).
POINT 12: I designed my career to peak 5 years from now, as professor;
SO my work splits, into perfecting past things launched AND
opening myself to brand new topics & parts of the world:
mapping the TOTALITY of Japan's design community,
inventing tools & interfaces for system engineering;
Liberal Arts of Business to humanize rampant
institutionalized theft and greed loosed by US
MBA cultures, meta-sciences that operate on
all other fields, Revolutionary Inventions in NEW MEDIA replacing
prose, meetings, discussions with interfaces that increase
the social indexing levels of persons and groups.
IF THE ABOVE CRITERIA INTEREST YOU
They define where and how I perform best.
So HIRE me NOW
Some other candidates may be cheaper, or better published,
BUT NONE match me on ALL the above criteria.
(Not to mention the few skills listed below):
-------the best presenter at all venues at which I appear
-------already visited the richest 2000 Americans years ago for funds
-------a master at the design, set up, & leading of mass workshop events
that replace classes with active research teams
that replace conference panels with group written
"state of the field" models
that combine possible funders, possible staff, possible customers
in events that create new institutions in days!

OLD PROJECTS RECENTLY RESURRECTED
--TRAINING FOR LAWYERS, LEGISLATORS, PHYSICIANS:
1) Apply Design Principles (of engineering, art, software design traditions)
to LAW DESIGN
so laws can be made predictive & handle system effects
Reason: speed of tech change accelerates ONLY
so exponentially increasing justice gap of
barbarian new-tech-created social & commercial territory
--we need something faster,
more preventative,
more self-extinguishing than LAWS.
2) Apply Plural Models of
NOVELTY SCIENCES
(creativity, design, innovation, venturing sciences)
to MEDICAL practice improvement and research improvement.
Reason: Accelerating bio-techs exponentially increase
fields of needed research that old institutions/budgets
/mindsets ignore--condeming generations to early and
unpleasant disability & death
--the STRUCTURE
of medical innovation
is immoral.
I AM DETERMINED:
-----to create the world's best curriculum for making
ordinary people into historic fame level creators
-----to challenge deep traditions of One Right Model
with empiric-derived plural diverse models that also
out-do single models, however "right"y-er when applied
-----to create new media industries:
a) publishing expert & classic readings of texts
b) publishing response stratifications of great works/performances
-----to replace prose, discussions, and meetings
with fractal models and social automata.
-----to invent, by combining the above, a radical new
event, media, web, composition delivered/selling
form of education, then add it to some great place
and/or make it self-standingly famous impactful
-----to IMPACT 6 streams of academic research on
media, interfaces, delivery of management functions,
cross-field cross-culture functioning, catching &
holding attention with media-interfaces-performances,
BY replacing prose/meetings/discussions
BY replacing single Right-y with plural diverse models
BY injecting bio-sense into mechanosense causal models
BY measuring the unmeasured in cultures, arts, emotions
BY deploying models of tunable granularity & scale
BY invented new tools for intellectual work that allow
ordinary mental operators to apply to dozens of
patterned ideas not just 5 or 6 at a time--upping
mental productivity fundamentally in all fields
BY by measuring impacts on social index levels
of devices, interfaces, management delivery means
etc. and measuring impacts of high such levels on performances
that is: just how social are "social media"?
-----To counter the Culture of Bigness, the Culture of venal MBAs,
the Culture of East Coast USA, the Culture of Spectating
and Sitting and Consuming so as to correct how
Harvard & UChic LOST in 2008/9 ALL that
Silicon Valley in 10 prior years gave the USA & world
-----To liberate design students from the financial ghetto
that extant programs put them in so they can along
with MBAs & MDs can be "on top of the world
looking down on creation".
-----LASTLY, to enjoy the JOKE that:
Academy of Management "publishings", Harvard "cases",
"economic" models, & "investment" banks
have been (especially "Business" school studies
30 years too late of "venturing" and "technology",
as if econ profs could manage a lemonade stand!)
---everyone in such a rush to look
rich and "success"ful that no one bothers to
serve anyone but themselves and even at that
their narcissicisms undermine their wealths
(meanwhile rising poor nations do real work) =
it stinks but the better among us can improve it.
IN THE END there is a lot of monkey in us all
PROOF? how about Harvard/UChic losing (in 2008/9) $13
trillion of OUR dollars, undoing ALL Silicon Valley
made for us in 10 years; how about ALL learning
"business" from 1980 to 1995 from JAPAN not
from warped econ models from "impressive" professors, NO
institution competes for sickness with "business" schools
(McGill and Sloan excepted--quality people there),
MED schools compete fairly well, try filling any course
there on patient care, compared to footballs fields
filled for personal finance management courses.

ACADEMICALLY, WHO I NOW AM:
I SERIOUSLY PERFECT THE BELOW
(in part by benchmarking the below against MIT, Stanford,
Harvard, INSEAD, ENA, Todai, & others yearly)
I am 9 courses and associated labs and research events
that constitute
********The Creator Factory********
that I am setting up at KEIO SDM in Japan
AND can set up someday for YOU

surround and weave among the courses.
This is possibly the world's single most effective experience
for turning ordinary people into creators
at historic fame level.
IN PURE RESEARCH TERMS I AM:
I SERIOUSLY PERFECT THE BELOW
Upping mental productivity via:
tools for non-dilettantish breadth of thinking,acting
replacing incompetent ancient interfaces: prose, meeting
measure un-measurables: culture, social index levels
new forms of new media that inform not decorate
expand scale ordinary mental operators apply to
invent replacement of prose and publishing of readings
Novelty science (uniting distinct novelty sciences)
plural diverse models replacing single "right"ish ones--
creativity 60 models, design 64 approaches, etc.
sciences of the new (invent, discover, venture, imagine...)
apply science to design (creativity operators, etc.)
tools for emotive thought: response strata,64 aims of arts
interview for 420 dynamics of Silicon Valley tech ventures
Improve all ordinary sciences
improve sciences: inject sophisticated evolution dynamics
invent new sciences: of chance, attention, fashion,culture
Invent and install meta-sciences, across all old ones
cross-field Fields:knowledge dynamics,excellence scienc
sciences of science: system engrg, cultures of fields, etc.
Improve knowledge application and use---leadership variants
redo Plato:empirically define Excellence Science all fields
define/deploy causality sense: Asia + Western forms
democratize leadership function delivery
change mechano-sense to bio-sense in all fields
A Revolution in Venture Businessing and Technology
measure impact of devices on social index levels
measure how high such index levels produce great performances
measure fractality and regularities of interfaces/media
measure attention/retention curves low/high values of them produce
A Revolution in Education
by applying all the above to invent new forms of educating
IN ACADEMIC PUBLISHING TERMS I AM:
I SERIOUSLY PERFECT THE BELOW
1) 2 McGraw Hill Books, one "a work of genius" say U of Chicago faculty
2) 18 eBooks structurally written (self indexing)
3) 3D "informative" videos being made of my book chapters
4) 6 journal articles a year from 2011 to 2021(1 per 2 mo.s)
---one in each of my main 13 research theme areas
5) 6 to 8 new journals, 1 per each of my invented intellectual tools
----(this will work out to 1 new journal per every 5 to 6 years)
IN ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP TERMS,
WHO I NOW AM:
1) led Total Quality improvements of U of Chicago
Grad School of Business systems and curricula
2) co-founded new department at Japanese university
3) converted curriculum delivered by classes of "content"
into one delivered by research and learning events,
where students composed & sold for industry "college"
4) co-led committees that established:
a) new international skills department
b) new global environment systems, quality, complexity dept.
c) new global campus deployment of a department
d) new internship sequence program
5) set up world's first & (best?) The Creator Factory
program at KEIO's brilliant SDM grad school.
INTELLECTUAL IMPACTS NOW UNDERWAY:
0) IN GENERAL undoing a few bugaboos, hobgobblins, and manias of US style publish-or-perish research norms--putting sense back into narrow neurotic national manias
1) undoing research that assumes creativity is one model/process [In academic conferences each professor stands up and presents "my Bingo Bongo system" to "support" creativity, each professor using a different model of creativity, each model amateurish because not based on anything remotely like a thorough review of the 2000 academic books and 8000 articles now there on creativity by ME, psych, Polysci, anthro, etc. faculty. Worse yet the TOP professors from places like Harvard go to P&G and implement reliable/validated changes in 42 environment variables to make a special more-creative culture and get dismal results (copying a successful Japanese product 8 years later as published in Harvard Business Review articles in 2008/9). Creativity if treated as ONE thing becomes a model so vapid and abstract that reliable/validated implementation of it everywhere produces----nothing.]
2) assessing R&D orgs for: how many of 60 creativity models they embody/fund/staff and how many they hinder, ignore, miss; how much of each model they have/hinder;
3) assessing global corporations for: how many of 45 models of innovation they have/staff/fund and how many they miss/lack/hinder; how much of any one model do they have and which models, when combined perform best given their lines of business/markets/technologies
4) assessing global organizations for: how many high performance culture traits do their individuals, execs, teams, ventures have; which of 64 culture dimensions are recognized/supported/funded and which are ignored; how well does the culture of their business practices fit the culture of their people and customers; how well does the culture of their products/devices fit the culture of their customers/users:
5) assessing Ideo, Satchi, Ghery, Ando, Miyake and other design icons/firms for how many of 64 approaches to design do their processes and completed works embody and which they omit; how many of the 64 functions of all arts do they embody and omit; which combinations of design approaches constitute/produce their best work and which insure second-rate outcomes;
6) using creativity models as a grammar of design: expressing the 64 approaches to design as combinations of 60 creativity models
7) replacing prose, meetings, discussions---all ancient dated inept interfaces with fractal better ones
8) measures for the greatness of art and predicting auction prices by how many of 64 functions of all arts a work embodies for contemporary and evolving audiences
9) inventing a science of culture by making the culture of devices, business practices, more specific and measurable, using 9 powers of culture and 64 dimensions of culture and 64 social processes in which culture dimensions may appear {at last outgrowing Hofstede's kiss of death 8: never before has a piece of factor analysis on a biased global sample from IBM supplanted thought in so many following professors and books)]
10) injecting into systems engineering the following; a science of culture, management of the interacting cultures of professions, global quality methods newer than 6 sigma stuff, proper positioning of Taguchi as a method for reducing politicization of development by subsystem teams escalating arguments about side-effects
11) injecting into culture and area studies and international relations programs: anthropologies of workplaces/processes, cultures of interfaces and devices, cultures as selves & both as high performances = show students how to get power and resources from mastery of culture dynamics, including getting power over MBAs and other professionals blind to the cultures they are; CULTURE as POWER
12) erecting a global scope of management: managing managers, managing creators/designers, managing selves, managing the alternative ways to deliver managing/leadership functions, Just-in-Time managing function delivery systems, self-organizing/self-emerging leadership functions, primate dynamics underneath leadership regimes, a zoo-ology of leaders
13) total quality delivery of leadership functions---the entire quality apparatus applied not to low level workers but to executives--do they really execute anything at all? and what they execute, is it harmful or beneficial? policies as experiment designs, bayesian policy making
I can make you best in the world, the question is.....
can you make you best in the world without me?
UP FRONT---I made 5 conscious decisions years ago:
0) to aim for home runs, and shave off of those efforts from time to time juicy fecund base hits---that is to tackle issues so profound no current journal editor could withstand the abstract's first sentences.
1) to publish primarily in books McGraw Hill at first, then self-edited eBooks (soon I'll add video) because the size of issue I tackle and the number of fields it requires are too large, diverse, and, at times, subversive of current field-heros to be a comfortable fit for current journals; I am not averse to journal-publishing and do it but get genuinely tired of scholars confounding correlational "significance" with civilizational and knowledge significance.
2) to delay publishing till later in my career, when I had an approach to particular fields that was radical, well grounded, thoroughly researched, and of lasting impact possibility.
3) to delay graduate study till years of leadership in the field, so what I research and how I research it has major impact
4) to base my study and consulting on developing myself new intellectual tools that fix errors and omissions in current research methods and publishing means
5) IN SUM: to fix the errors and correct some of the neuroses of my era, civilization, and leaders--the mono-manias in global academia now, aping American ways, mis-understand how USA got top ranking (robber-baron foundation monies in the 1930s attracting Europe's best plus post-war technology funding) not publish-or-perish of tiny topic journal articles.
6) Therefore, at age 60 my academic career is just beginning.
"To understand my work and ambitions you have to know
Ancient Rome and people civilizational in how they feel.
To throw the criteria of this present doomed age away
Lose all that thrall and impact, for the wisp of later generation approval---what fools what foolery, what fool."
----guess who
"Only a world best department/university or an
immensely ambitious volcanic organization
will have the courage to hire me, I know,
BECAUSE I have the actual chance to tilt history a bit
if God gives me the time these next years...
There is something I love so immensely in a little boy way
Still,
but enboldened now with a grown man's tools and scars--
I seek a committee to get beyond ego and convention
just a tad....
So I can invent a form of education
so utterly powerful and new that
Education, University, Lifestyles, & Human Destinies
WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
So I can lead 25 bright doctoral students to the very edges
of the very foundations of thought"
Is your institution confident enough to escape timid?
If you are looking for nothing that is less than wonderful,
let's talk!
MY RECIPE:
One raw random life,
bombard with sets of 64 fractally ordered ideas for 2 years
aim at theory and practice tipping points of nascent fields
cook in my 2 year 50 step Nobel Prize research course
of 200 knowledge dynamics and methods for 2 years;
require 1 journal article 2 research book chapters each week structurally read (top 50 pts. diagrammed) for 2 years
BINGO--whole fields re-directed, articles in 8 journals,
industry consults, ventures founded, web followers,
plus enough grant money to found a casino,
seasoned with books published and a possible Nobel.
LET US BE CLEAR---One of my dreams is founding a new
kind of University and/or School System WHEREIN:
a) all master 24 new intellectual tools listed below
b) all compose & publish a book yearly of homework
c) all master a 50 step Research Process of knowledge dynamics
d) research addresses theory and practice tipping points
e) learning in mass-workshop-events replaces 50% of classes
f) annual homework is done in game, video, powerpoint, prose,
workshop event, fractal model forms
g) all diagram the 50 main points of 2 chapters from each of 1000
books before graduation
h) all do sophisticated research interviews of the
leading & most creative
100 people in their chosen field before graduating =
their homework builds a grand personal network
PLUS mastery of the 64 capabilities of:
highly educated ones
highly creative ones
highly effective ones
those great at leading while improving people
those great at handling error
those great at handling cultures
those great at managing self
those great at handling complexity
those great at composing arts
those whose lives were greatly affected by arts
etc.

INSTITUTIONALIZING ALL THE ABOVE
Assembling above results into revolutionary new form of educating, new form of university

fractal concept models are replacements for prose; structural reading diagrams as enforcements of reading quality, social automata as
productive forms of discussing and meeting; response to response models of beyond-technical systems dynamics
RESEARCH METHODS
1) choose very elemental concepts (excellence, create, design, educate and the like) that we use as if we understand them
2) survey large very diverse stratified sample---8000 people in 41 nations and 63 professions
3) use artificial intelligence protocol analysis (for in-mind processes) and total quality process modeling methods (for out-mind
processes) in survey and questionnaires to define what the elemental concept is/does (the ways to excellence, the
approaches to creating, etc.)
4) assemble a huge research literature from 8 or more fields (order of magnitude beyond journal norms) on the elemental concept
5) use structural reading, fractal concept modeling, stratified responding, and other structural cognition methods to extract from the
overall literature the same categorical model gotten from the survey (using AI protocol and total quality process modeling
methods)
6) use the categorical model from literature to refine and clarify the categorical model from surveys/questionnaires
7) next phase: investigate the protocols used in detail by groups of persons who excel at what each category represents (who are
great at one model of creativity not others, at one capability of educated people not others, etc.)
8) use experience report forms---each line a causal path, each box in each line a causal or conditional variable---to get respondents
for each category to report their experience parsed by variables and causal paths from theories that might apply
9) compare protocols across respondents AFTER re-expressing each protocol in terms of all the category items it uses (creator
protocols parsed by which of 60 creativity models from the categorical model each protocol segment uses, some segments
use several in conflict, other segments use one only perhaps---as an example)
10) build a grammar of standard operators applied to standard operands common across all protocols and categories, that
constitutes a theory-language of the entire domain and re-express all protocols using this grammar, observing generality
and detail lost or distorted by its application, improving it till nothing of note gets lost by its application
11) compare novice and expert practitioners to see if what categories, what ordering of them, what combinings they use differs
12) train novices and experts in the area of the elemental concept involved (creativity, excellence, design, etc.) in the
grammar and in pre-test post-test simple experiments look for improvements, short term and lasting, to performance and
work outcome quality .
NOTE 1: The above 12 steps naturally provide stimulating dissertation work for anywhere from 48 to 128 doctoral students at a time for each
elemental concept times 50 elemental concepts = potential research work directions for 2500 doctoral students at any one time
NOTE 2: The above overall research steps—the protocol they constitute---injects into modern research hurries, careful crafting of
comprehensive categorical models before causal exploration OF THE ENTIRE MODEL OF CATEGORIES is begun---this corrects the
pettiness of topic and incompleteness of coverage endemic in current Harvard level research protocols.

SOME RECENT CONSULTS---
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT THEORY/PRACTICE
(execs read magazine articles on planes = bad ideas popular)
Gallop published this short cut to profit and execs followed cuz they lack basic statistical commonsense just as Deming said 50 years ago---ho hum history repeats. I did the below for big companies in Seoul & Tokyo to undo harm from such exec enthusiasms. Hint: there are no short cuts.
FACTOR ONE
The deep issue here is some execs seek authority by hiding behind numbers they do not at all understand. There are recent egregious examples: Goldman Sachs getting, via AIG, welfare billions from you and me taxpayers, due to THEM not at all understanding their own and others' numbers--if they were so profitable why did they need government bail outs of AIG payments going to them? NOTE--the AIG thing was one of a DOZEN bail outs that made banks, Goldman included, so-called "profitable" in 2008/9--YOU paid those bonuses at G. Sachs those years! Those who cannot think hide behind numbers---Lord Maynard Keynes. AND MBAs from top ten colleges provided the cover story about market this and that (market fundamentalism a la Fama) behind which welfare based bank profits hide. Naive professors selling number-based obfuscation to willing greedy ones in classes---governments bailing all out so they can pretend and call it "enterprise" not "welfare" for the rich. I have nothing against bankers being rich--that money in their hands stimulates boat/golf/sex/vacation/ investment industries--but I object to paying for their bonuses via my taxes---let them EARN wealth not get it as welfare every 8 years from me and you via government bail outs. Let them EARN it by bad mouthing industries they sell short for example (gossip as profit---not the real value added that all the rest of us work for). All those well-published professors provide excuse and cover, equations to hide behind...THIS is the BIG STORY---employee engagement depends on EXECUTIVE ENGAGEMENT in more than welfare for the rich bailouts!! I call this Factor One. This executive engagement amount and type per amount and type of employee engagement achieved/aimed-for can be MEASURED. Germans and Japanese have long understood this. Workforces watch what executives do not what they say.
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT--We want----to create more of it, and that it make lots of profits and sales for us
Outcome measures:
A. DIFFERENT KINDS OF ENGAGEMENT--SOCIAL:
self, social, intellect, career, resource, economic, political, cultural, social change, lifework, hobby, profession, job---
disengaged Mr. X to you is engaged to me, for I seek/see types of engagement you do not consider engagement
B. POWERFUL ROLE OF COMPARISON comparison with close friends determines my satisfaction with my engagement type and level
C. DIFFERENT KINDS OF ENGAGEMENT---SCALE interest, satisfaction, ambition, value, translifespan worth--types of engagement differ by time scale they operate on
D. DIFFERENT KINDS OF ENGAGEMENT---BELONGING: anchoring: value, friends, community, political word/deed, orthogonal uses
E. DIFFERENT KINDS OF ENGAGEMENT--CULTURES: cultures have own preferred definitions of "engaged":
8 global cultures of business (Japan, Germany, US Wall Street, US Silicon Valley, etc.) each define engagement differently and see other engagement types as dis-engaged
F.ENGAGED WHERE----CAUSAL DIRECTION---ENGAGEMENT CAN BE BIG BUT MIS-DIRECTED HENCE INEFFECTIVE degree of causal directedness of engagement actions--are engagement components directed at problems, causes, solutions, implementations, effects/impacts, error correction, stuck or biased for one of them, correctly flowing at right times among them
G. ENGAGED WHERE----STRATEGY DIRECTION----WHAT IS RIGHT DIRECTION OF ENGAGEMENT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE strategy points any engagement you achieve somewhere---make sure it is the right where or else "engagement" becomes grave-digging = each stakeholder and each customer of strategy has DIFFERENT outcomes they consider great/excellent/of-worth.
Mediate measures:
1) ENGAGED WHAT---COOPERATIVE---HIGHLY ENGAGED PEOPLE NOT CLOSELY WORKING AS COOPERATIVE TEAMS ARE WEAK
level of social indexing of interests, needs, capabilities (how well do we know interests, needs, capabilities of each other)
2) ENGAGED WHAT---MATURE--- HIGHLY ENGAGED IMMATURE PEOPLE DO A LOT OF HARM AND HURT ENGAGEMENT OF OTHERS
be/have balance (how many aspects of who we are, are we aware of and consciously manage instead of blindly being them)
3) ENGAGED WHAT---WELL AIMED---TOTAL ENGAGEMENT MAKES PEOPLE AND SYSTEMS STUPID
engage/detach action/reflection, individual/group balance (how well do we reduce engagement enough to direct it better)
4) ENGAGED WHERE---TIME---ENGAGEMENT CAN BE PRESENT DOMINATED OR FUTURE ORIENTED
obey/challenge, execute/imagine, fit-traditions/beyond-traditions balance (do we engage the present or the future mostly)
5) ENGAGED WHERE---ULTIMATE GOAL---WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF US ENGAGING
invest in failing lines of action vs. cut losses fast; plural frameworks of evaluation vs. narrowed framework diversity (are we engaging in things that work or do not work, do we evaluate direction of engagement in many ways or just old traditional ways)
Causal factors:
1. employee satisfaction--dissatisfied do not engage
2. secure base for risk---security fosters risk = engagement
3. culture of development---strivers, training, reliable near future = invest = engage
4. high performance culture---intense practice = identity boundary = intense effort for ID = much engagement
5. enabling managers---status strutting hormones transmuted into non-fear enablement = much employee risking/engaging
6. need for engagement---clear challenge that all can respond to = much engagement
7. fair measures for effort---engagement will be noticed exactly = much engagement
8. waste eradication method---total quality waste reduction frees energy for engagement
9. space of appearance--fundament of polity, word and deed before others, I am there = engage
10. stages of power---all power starts with negative power, blocking others = notice = engage
11. self development---change being X to having X for each ID part = engage
12. non-minority effect---people around are like me and like me = I fit = engage
13. persons beyond profession roles--supports for what is personal = engage
14. meaningfulness at work---variety of uses for work and job invited/supported = engage
15. engagement of various types---each culture has own ways of engaging, all measured = engage
16. access to social hub persons---messages repeated from variety of sources = belief = action = engagement
17. higher power practices---use self for purposes greater than self, = engage purposes beyond pleasures = wider engagements
18. outside vantage point---having X not being X = adulthood attitude = acting cool-ly without big emotion = engage more
19. detached enough to engage---sheer engagement self destructs
20. engagement in what---job? career? industry? thought? practice?---people "not engaged" are fully engaged in things you are not valuing or measuring, engagement = viewpoint alignment
21. do NOT forget Factor One---EXECUTIVE ENGAGEMENT amounts and types.

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.
