Synergy Integrated MarketingWhere chaos begins, classical science stops. There has always been ignorance about disorder in
atmosphere, in
turbulent sea, in
fluctuations of wildlife populations,
oscillations of
heart and brain......
Classical (Western) science is
science of logic, of linearity, of definitions. We believe that where ' classical science stops ',
real fun begins. We want to explore
chaos of ideas that try to depict this adventurous century and form
roots of
century ahead. Because we believe that within
chaos patterns can be found. And these patterns will enable
formation of strategic thinking.
Names and Boxes
The classical method for
investigation of systems and processes is a flow chart - a network of discrete ' boxes ', each named, and connected together, in a hierarchy of ' decision '. Useful though this method may be, boxes often exclude
very information that might be needed. And in a world where barriers are falling, frontiers collapsing, disciplines intermixing and culture going into
melting pot, these precise delineated boxes no longer reveal truths, they conceal them.
We prefer to think of a name, or a box, as a stone dropped into a lake of ideas. Each 'stone' produces concentric ripples which spread out and intersect with other ripples, creating complex patterns of interference - which might be called chaos. IT IS THE RESONATION OF IDEAS WITH EACH OTHER that interests us most of all. It is in
spaces between
boxes that excitement lies.
Evolution
One basic law of organic evolution is ' increasing complexity '. Things never get easier. On
other hand,
simple smoothness of a pebble on
beach is
result of millions of frictional contacts with other pebbles in
surge and ebb of
tides. Ideas become beautiful in
same way. Our ideas may one day be beautiful - but for
moment we are interested in
waves, not
beach. Not in
concrete, but in
ephemeral motion which is
result of conflicting energies.
Operational Research
Operational Research (OR) was a system devised during WW2 to solve unique problems of technology, logistics and strategy. Radar was one of
hundreds of answers to vaguely positioned but urgent problems that OR produced.
