As a result of the realization of a global economy, Mid-east tension, and the immediacy provided by Internet and satellite technology, a new relationship is emerging between business and society -- one that in many ways resembles the responsibility and obligation-based relationships of the past. This new relationship arouses questions within us as to how our choices and decisions affect the human community, how we define ourselves in a global community, and in what way we are relevant to these evolving conditions…those in positions of leadership can help themselves, as well as those in their charge, by learning to recognize these meaningful connections.

The Power of One

Within each of us are skills, talents and abilities that have been left untapped; these capacities are available to bring about real changes in not only our personal and professional lives, but the world around us.

Spheres of Influence

Every person exists within a multitude of interrelationships. These connections allow our smallest acts of kindness or cruelty to resonate far beyond our original intentions. By examining these relationships, and though motivations behind our actions, we can enrich our lives by becoming aware of the true influence of our existence.

By their very nature, corporations and communities are indivisible. The larger community, the community of mankind, depends for its quality of existence upon the ethics and demonstrated values of human organizations. By aligning corporate and social responsibility, organizations can benefit from an improved sense of purpose and the actualization of a larger mission.

Our Global Community

From the most intimate of familial bonds to the most distant trade routes, humans have woven an intricate fabric of relationships. Each of us is a thread, and by means of our choices we create a life of patterns that becomes woven into the whole. The most powerful nations most often manage the loom. Now more than ever, these nations must gain an understanding of both the impact of their decisions, and the needs, desires, and contributions of the greater balance of humanity.

Aligning Personal and Professional Values

Nothing has a greater effect on organizational morale and performance than the discrepancy between an individual's personal and professional values. By examining perceived gaps, it is possible to find ways to incorporate those values that arouse passionate motivation and professional/corporate objectives.

Business, Education, and Society

In order to ensure a future of strong economies and improved quality of life, business and education must be understood to be two sides to the same coin. Businesses prosper when they have access to a more educated staff and better educated consumers. By acting as a resource, promoting the concept of lifelong learning, and encouraging employees and the community at large to continue their formal and informal education, businesses play a pivotal role in improving society.

Systemic Change

Learning for systemic change must include shared decision making crossing internal boundaries. Dr. Wuagneux enhances outcomes by working within the existing organizational culture. Individuals and groups are resistant to any change they see as mandated, Dr. Wuagneux stimulates the engagement of human capital and incorporates change into personal and relational process.

Static systems erode/decline. Discovering core competencies, awakening capacity transference and guiding the flow of information means using complexity theory and chaos theory for the advantage and persistence of the system - continued development. Dr. Wuagneux's expertise in knowledge transfer, industrial anthropology, systems dynamics, and organizational development translates into evolving, broad-spectrum learning tools and methods for improved outcomes.

Barrier Mapping

The ability of a facility to recognize the value of a new, externally introduced innovation, assimilate it, and apply it for stake holder advantage defines the innovation's capacity and ultimate capability. The absorptive capacity (ability to absorb an innovative product or process) of any organization is a function of that organization's structural, political and cultural substructure.

• Purpose of Internal Barrier Mapping
  
  
  
  
  The purpose of Internal Barrier Mapping is to discover, analyze, and assess the location, type, and virulence of innovation barriers existent within facilities which have been targeted for innovation insertion. This process involves the performance of structural, political and cultural diagnostics and results in an Internal Barrier Map. This map becomes an invaluable tool to those responsible for, and who benefit from, the success of the innovation.
  
  
• Benefits of Internal Barrier Mapping
  
  The awareness, isolation, and understanding of a facility's specific internal barriers is crucial to decisions affecting the supply, positioning, and timing of innovation insertion. By performing Internal Barrier Mapping prior to the introduction of an innovation, core rigidities, cooperative learning alliances and continuity channels can be located; the diffusion process can be accelerated and intensified resulting in fiscal and wellness related advantages.
  
  
• The Process of Internal Barrier Mapping
  
  Diagnostics are performed in an informal and unobtrusive manner. After gathering preliminary information externally, 10-15 minute interviews are conducted throughout the facility. The facility is broad scanned vertically (hierarchically), horizontally (peer driven), and again by traffic flow within and between departments. The information collected is analyzed by experts in field and appropriately catalogued. When complete, the data illustrates an internal barrier map specific to each facility. The process takes 6-8 weeks. The final report is the foundation of a facility's learning and behavior adoption profile.

Information/Innovation Diffusion

Because an innovation is by its definition something new, incorporation into use (changes in behavior) involves learning. Any innovation's success depends on its ability to travel freely through an organization; this happens only when the information that represents the innovation is perceived at the right time and in the right way. The science of improving innovation perception has, until recently, been primarily used in advertising and marketing; however, information/ innovation diffusion, when understood and guided, can affect every area of human and organizational development.

Our experts use this understanding to increase knowledge transfer, improve knowledge ecology, and encourage directed information flow accelerating learning and influencing development. Adults learn differently than children, and groups learn differently than individuals. Human capital and available core competencies can be incorporated into the innovation diffusion process promoting communication, collaboration and organizational health.
