The Complete Vision for the Use of Technology to Perfect Your Organization

In this edition of WisdomSource News we explore the complete vision for technology that your organization should be working towards in order to empower your resources to be personally happy, financially successful, and professionally fulfilled within the framework of the purpose of your organization so that mutually beneficial individual and collective success is assured over the long-term.

Fully Understand Every Aspect of Your Organization

Imagine the complete virtual representation of your organization from human resource, asset, task, project and financial viewpoints. Your organization has the power to understand every facet of itself in both line and project hierarchies so as to be able to continuously evolve in changing operating conditions in such a fashion that is (1) sustainable and (2) indicative of success over the long-term. Your organization has the ability to create new ways of doing business from existing knowledgebases and to constantly leverage its past experiences in new and changing business circumstances. This level of organizational awareness, that WisdomSource places at your fingertips, lends itself to the perpetual development of new profit centers and the maximization of your potential labor and non-labor assets upon demand.

WisdomSource financial reporting makes the costs of doing business available in real-time and makes possible a comprehensive understanding of the financial value of your organization’s assets via employee time-reporting based upon resource costs and asset value and depreciation. Simultaneously, WisdomSource process capture, management, and viewing mechanisms provide a global view of how things are getting done in your organization from individual, group, project and role perspectives, allowing for the immediate pinpointing of the value added by specific work processes. In addition, the rapid recombination of work processes into project plans and vice-versa are readily achieved.

Such an understanding gives your organization the ability to fully-actualize its capabilities by fulfilling its stated purpose while becoming free of dependencies on specific individual resources and out-of-place operating conditions. With this view, the organization can be certain that it is operating in compliance with all applicable legislation (e.g. Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404, HIPAA, and other federal, state and local laws). Peace-of-mind is given not only to executive management, by enabling the organization to understand its financial position, compliance with regulatory agencies, and operating activities in real-time, but also to individual employees on the front-lines who have access to step-by-step task lists for going about performing their jobs.

Mistakes and failed projects are eliminated as employees are able to understand all the different possibilities of the various roles that they perform at the point of business. Best practices and areas of excellence are readily identified and are used to improve the overall capabilities of every resource leading to operational excellence across the entire organization.

From the standpoint of risk reduction and the assurance of business continuity, your organization maintains its knowledge in the face of disaster and employee turnover.

Management, shareholders, and the general public are satisfied that your organization is above board in its valuation and operating practices. And peace-of-mind is achieved for everyone involved as operational integrity and future success are assured.

Your organization has the ability to do precise what-if scenarios from a financial perspective in the formulation of new project teams and organizational structures based upon the resources involved and the goals that are to be achieved.

This view is the fundamental capability afforded your organization by WisdomSource v3.0 at K3M Level 8: Self-Actualized Organization.

Global Benefits for the Human Race

The implications of having a complete understanding of your organization will not only give you the ability to continuously innovate your business and be successful over the long-term, but will solve many of the world’s critical problems.

It has been said that “there is no lack in the universe”. As the world’s natural resources become scarcer over time, human conditions can actually be improved by increasing the efficiency of the mobilization of these limited resources. Many large government and corporate organizations have vast resources that cannot be tracked by any individual, group or agency without an effective model for locating these resources in the organizational hierarchies within which they are assigned. The location and mobilization of these human resource based capabilities and assets can be further enhanced by using artificial intelligence to overcome the limitations of human awareness in order to ensure that these resources are applied at the point of need.

For example, the US Government has fifteen intelligence agencies. Yet the Government struggles to keep up with background security checks in the War on Terror. As a result the US public is put at risk; and many people are imprisoned and adversely affected by the inability to provide the resources to perform the necessary background checks on individuals identified as potential suspects. Within the vast apparatus of the five intelligence agencies of the US Government, the US Military and local law enforcement agencies, there exist numerous individuals who can perform such background checks as well as vast banks of information that can be utilized to determine individual and group threat potentials. Due to limitations in current systems, these resources are not fully utilized because of a lack of awareness of these capabilities at the point of need. By creating virtual views of government, military, and local law enforcement agencies in WisdomSource, available resources along with their associated capabilities and costs can be clearly identified in the creation of task forces to effectively fight the War on Terror and alleviate the unnecessary imprisonment and placement of individuals on no-fly lists, which results in harm to the American way of life and the reputation of the Country worldwide. In addition, best practices in these different agencies can be identified and used to improve the quality of background checks as performed by all resources in all agencies.

Also, many first world governments currently possess vast human resources and assets that can be used to eliminate hunger and the many deplorable conditions under which many people live worldwide. Through the virtual modeling of these government organizations and the use of artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies, the identification and application of unused resources that otherwise go to waste is made possible. Many global problems can be solved and human suffering can be greatly reduced.

In the light of recent corporate scandals, often blamed on a lack of understanding of business and financial reporting processes, both management and shareholders now mandate the use of technology in this fashion. Via the complete vision offered by WisdomSource, it is possible to not only understand the business processes that drive financial reporting, but to instantly achieve an accurate valuation of the company based on the organization’s assets, profitability, and that which makes that organization unique: its intellectual property, corporate culture, and ways of doing business.

Soon, citizens worldwide will mandate that their governments operate in a likewise manner so as to be cost-effective and immune to the waste and misuse of precious resources, fiscal malfeasance, and corruption.

Achieving Complete Organizational Understanding Over Time

Implementing the multidimensional understanding that WisdomSource affords at its highest level of implementation should take place over time, in a series of steps. Your organization needs to get from A, where it is now to B, where it has become a fully-actualized organization with a complete awareness of its operational state, position in the marketplace, what makes the organization successful, and what business practices should be transformed or discontinued. A clear plan should be laid out in a series of incremental phases that are easily achievable without risk to the business.

For example, the first step could be the implementation of project reporting to a small group of director-level management personnel, multi-project coordinators, and project managers. In addition to the technical implementation of WisdomSource that occurs along the path of technical capability at this first step, a project management office and project management business processes need to be established along the path of organizational capability.

Subsequent steps along the pathway of organization maturity may include the implementation of the organizational and project hierarchies that drive the virtual representation of the organization, along with individual job descriptions and roles. This aspect of implementation requires that each individual be assigned Read-Write and Read-only access within the line and project hierarchies for business process and resource compensation data access purposes.

Next comes the ability to capture employee knowledge in the form of task lists that employees use in the execution of their jobs and the ability to import and export project plans. This enables the organization to leverage the know-how gained in past successes as a catalyst for the rapid seamless accomplishment of future endeavors within operating budgets. A way to ensure this result is to have individual performance evaluations take into account the extent to which employees enter and maintain their task-based knowledge in WisdomSource.

Subsequently, WisdomSource time reporting can be implemented so that task-based cost accounting is fully integrated in such a manner so as to enable the development of a real-time understanding of the financial health of the organization. This may require that the organization leverage past successes to simplify the different types of time reporting and may require vendor and union cooperation, not to reduce individual and collective pay, but rather to limit the permutations and possibilities of rates/unit time for each individual human resource to a degree that can be implemented in a time reporting system. Finally, assets under command of the organization as well as their assigned values and depreciation schedules are allocated to individual resources so as to save money caused by unclear management that can then be used to pay raises.

At each step along the way, proficiency with WisdomSource grows and organizational capabilities and management practices reach new levels. With WisdomSource, you don't have to worry about getting from A to B; you find yourself at B by working with us.

The WisdomSource Long-Term Strategy

By providing a product that is without a doubt the most useful software system ever created on the planet in order to empower both individuals and organizations to be successful over the short- and long-term, while at the same time improving conditions worldwide, WisdomSource intends to be the major force in the global software industry.

Our Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) for the decade is to guide every member of the Global Fortune 500, the US Military, and every major world government agency through the 8 levels of the Knowledge Management Maturity Model (K3M). In the years and decades that follow, WisdomSource will provide offerings that utilize artificial intelligence acting upon WisdomSource organizational databases in order to overcome the limitation of human awareness and to truly perfect organizational management. These changes will lead to unparalleled levels of operational excellence and will transform companies, governments, military organizations, nonprofits, and other organizations into self-actualized entities where individuals enjoy going to work, achieve the highest vision that they have for themselves, and become financially successful within the framework of their organization.

WisdomSource believes that over the next 15 to 25 years, the software industry will consolidate into 3 or 4 companies, much in the same way that the automotive industry started out with many companies, but evolved into the Big-3 US automotive companies over time. Because of the complexity of automobiles, it would be impossible for a startup company to create an affordable product. That is not to say that there are not numerous companies that provide the Big-3 automotive companies with parts and raw materials, but rather that there are three primary companies that control the automotive industry by producing the finished product.

As software matures, there will likely be three or four platforms that will provide a complete solution to every business need without programming. By providing the complete vision for the use of technology to perfect organizational management, WisdomSource will be the dominant player in the software industry.
