The Singularity Perspective

The Singularity Perspective and Accelerated (CHANGE) Continual Improvement:

Aligning ourSELVES to Improve. PERFORM

WHAT DRIVES THE LEARNING ENGINE IS THE SINGULARITY DRIVE

Over 100 would be warriors wait to be tested in their skills of using the bow and arrow. The teacher asks the same question - what do you see? -  to all before they are allowed to let the arrrow leave the string of the bow. All of them see different things. Arjuna is the only one who sees the bird's eye, the target.He is poised to shoot and there is absolute silence.all around.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjuna.


Silence IS....................


Arjuna shoots and hits the bird's eye. He only passes the test.

Singularity

When we talk about it, the singularity is broken. The artist knows it which drives him to the visual medium. The silence is not broken when the painter or the sculptor achives IT.

The child in the mother's womb - Singularity

Birth, the singularity is broken. One to two

The newborn becomes aware of itself, the duality, the self emerges

And grows into maturity (do we?) when it reconnects with the whole - Trinity - Singularity ‘

Up to the animal level there is a singularity, akin to that of the child in the womb

Freewill   comes with responsibility - informed choice - between the two arrows that branch out from the level of the animal in Q 3.  The animal pulls us down and the human attempts to break out of the gravitational pull, to go into orbit something similar to a space vehicle. Once it goes into orbit it stirives to break out from the monotony of repetition, being bounded like a clock.  The linear and static is transcended to the dynamic and real time.

BETWEEN THE TWO ARROWS IS THE UNREALISED POTENTIAL, THE WASTE IN THE SYSTEM, THE BLUE OCEAN SPACE. Real improvements lead to narrowing the gap. Yet there will always be a gap like a road which unfolds as one moves forward. The invariant lighthouse position (reference point), the direction of the journey, where we are now and true progress in relation to these three become measurable. The problem of metrics is resolved. What is measurable is manage-able.  We now have the map for accelerated continual improvement.

If the periodic table is a map of the world of matter, this map is a navigational tool for the journey of life.

The singularity drive

That which drives Bubka, Isinbayeva, to take those leaps again and again

Which drives  us to sing, paint, sculpt, create history

That which drives the mystic

That which drives us to stories, folklore and myths

That which drives us to outperform, from our previous best

The fusion fuel for the learning engine that drives science, religion, art

That which drives us to take the leap into deep space, science fiction

That which drives us to aspire for community, immortality

That which will drive us out of the recession, from booms and busts, to the road of continual renewal and improvement.What leadership is all about and what managers/institutions are expected to deliver but consistently fail to achieve. The disappointment comes when we park our trust /money elsewhere, much more  than in our own SELF, in stocks, gold, god men/women, the consultant, prophets, the new President - the top of the pyramid.

The foundation and the top need to be in alignment for continuous improvement to prevail, the new habit, over the habit of precedence.Such alignment transforms the prymaids to continual learning communities.

The world is flatter but not flat.
