The Unicist Research Institute

This program is designed for enterprisers and executives who are responsible for managing complex business problems. The individual program on unicist strategy is focused on the participant's business.

The individual program on Unicist Strategy is designed to transfer unicist technologies (http://www.unicist.org/sdp.shtml) for the development of individual, institutional and social strategies. This program helps participants to diagnose, make prognoses and develop strategies accurately in their field of activity.

Programs are based on counseling driven learning, which includes personal counseling in local Unicist Knowledge Centers associated with the Unicist Network's Goodwill-Houses.

Programs are personalized so as to foster each participant’s talent development.

Participants are also introduced into the management of business catalysts to increase the speed of producing added value to the markets.

The unicist approach to complexity is based on the possibility to influence a certain reality based on the knowledge of its conceptual structure and the logical inference rules to diagnose, make prognoses and operate in that reality.

Participants use the unicist approach as a complementary tool when developing diagnoses, prognoses and strategies in their organizations. This activity is supported by a collection of books for consultation, an academic expert system and the counselor.

There are two ways to approach a business problem: forward-chaining and backward-chaining. While forward-chaining is a process taken from the beginning to the ending, which is naturally a simple problem, backward-chaining is a process taken form the end to the beginning, which is the way to approach business strategies.

Characteristics

The Individual Unicist Strategy Program was developed to provide technologies to approach complex problems and uncertainty.

Complexity and uncertainty have two possible approaches:
1) The probabilistic approach
2) The unicist ontological approach
The unicist approach includes both.
Reflection is required to approach the ontology. Unicist reflection integrates the “action-thought - action” process when dealing with non-complex problems and the “action-reflection-action” approach when facing complexity or uncertainty.

The program includes:

1) Individual learning agreement
2) Talent diagnosis
3) Unicist technologies
4) Diagnoses of live cases
5) Counseling driven learning
6) Quarterly Symposia
7) Group exchange (Atheneum)
8) Complementary tools
9) Blue Eagle X-pert System (BEES)

Unicist Strategy Programs

•Individual Programs
•Counseling-driven Programs
•Unicist Technologies
•Real Diagnoses
•Expert system monitoring

1) Individual learning agreement
The counselor proposes a learning agreement based on the participant’s background, knowledge, interests and objectives. Such learning agreement with the participant includes short term and long term commitments.

2) Talent diagnosis
The talent diagnosis of each participant is made by his counselor using the Blue Eagle X-pert System. The output of this diagnosis is used to develop the participant’s learning plan.

3) Unicist technologies
A complete set of unicist books is provided. It includes the technologies necessary to achieve the objectives included in the learning agreement.

4) Diagnosis of live cases
Diagnoses and their feedback drive the objective aspects of the learning process. This process implies a permanent “action-reflection-action” process. It includes the diagnoses of several cases, including their prognoses and their feed-back to confirm their forecasts.
Diagnoses are monitored by participants using the Blue Eagle X-pert System. Counselors are responsible for the fallacy-shooting of the application process.

5) Counseling driven learning
The unicist approach to reality based on its nature requires an individual counseling process. Counselors are responsible for backing the foundation building process of the diagnoses developed by participants.
To do so they foster and guide participants in the use of the reflection process applied to real complex problem solutions.

Counseling driven learning includes:

1) A daily activity to guide participant's knowledge acquisition process.
2) A counseling activity (a full-time day every fortnight) in which participants present the problems they need to solve.
3) Monitoring of the real cases developed by participants during the learning process. It includes the use of the BEES (Blue Eagle X-pert System).

The first activity is teaching driven, the second is learning driven and the third activity provides quality assurance for the applications. These activities are integrated in the “action - thought / reflection - action” process, which is one of the fundamentals of the unicist personalized education.

6) Participation in quarterly symposia
To learn about new discoveries and to share experiences in the application of unicist technologies with users (International Unicist Conference).

7) Group exchange (Atheneum)
Participants have the possibility of exchanging experiences with colleagues. The exchange of experiences leverages the reflection process and improves the quality of the original solutions developed by participants.

8) Complementary tools
The program includes the use of complementary tools for unicist strategy building. Among others, the following tools are accessible from their original developers:
1) C-map – concept mapping for strategy building
2) Protegé – for conceptual IT design
3) Taverna – for conceptual design in the field of life-sciences
4) Hozo – for conceptual engineering

9) Blue Eagle X-pert System (BEES)
Over 2000 researches on the unicist ontologies in the field of individual, institutional and social evolution made the development of the expert system possible. The finding of the structure and contents of the realities researched was the basis for the development of the BEES.
The BEES – Blue Eagle X-pert System develops diagnoses based on ontological/logical inferences based on the rules established by the unicist ontology of evolution.
The BEES processes the objective monitoring of the diagnoses made by participants.

Participant's book
Participants develop their program based on a diagnosis that will be included in a book to be published in electronic version. Publication includes all the writings of the counselor and the participant during the development of the program. The name of the counselor and the participant will be on the cover of the book.
