Future
The New Fork In The

In 2009, the world is faced
with an overwhelmingly
complex array of dire
challenges.

Now may be our last chance
to get it right. Taking the path
that will begin to reverse our
seemingly irreversible plunge
off the cliff will take
dedication to a level of
global, national, institutional,

can yet barely comprehend.

Tools
5W1H
Basic Approach May Be
Most Reliable
One of the most universally
used tools for information
organization and analysis is
the 5W1H framework.

This approach uses six basic
questions to gather
information about nearly any
subject: Who, What, When,
Where, Why, and How.
Sometimes a second "H" is
used: How Much.

This method is used across a
range of professions from
process analysts to quality
engineers to journalists to
understand virtually any
problem or issue.

Even better, the same
method can be used to
organize the writing of
reports, articles, white
papers, and even whole
books.

Often first introduced to high
schools students, the 5W1H
framework can be applied at
any level of granularity to
gather and analyze
information from the simplest
to the most complex.

Attributed to a Rudyard
Kipling poem, 5W1H is the
place to start and may be
enough to take you to the
end.
Creating Real Solutions to Complex Problems
Knowledge, Potential & Leadership
Leadership Gap. Given the leadership vacuum across industries
and institutions today, organizations must acknowledge that their
long-standing preference for technology over human talent has not
provided the returns in productivity and profit that were expected.

Creativity
White Papers
The most intelligent way to
promote your product or
service. Sell your value
proposition to your audience
with respect and reason.

Dave Baldwin designs and
writes white papers that
appeal to the clientele you
want to do business with.  
Most Valuable Asset. Organizations must understand that
intellectual capital, residing both in their information systems and in
their employees, represents their most valuable asset. But
organizations also must realize that information captured in systems
is static and neutral.

It takes human beings to make sense of information by providing
context. People must make use of information by applying it to
accomplish organizational goals and objectives, thereby moving the
organization forward. This is how knowledge is created.

Most Productive Work Places. Human beings are most productive
when they are involved in work environments that foster
commitment, trust and innovation. These environments provide
workers with the means to make the most of their potential in terms
of developed skills, knowledge and productivity.

The way to the realization of potential is through engaging in the
creative process as applied to completing a task, solving a problem,  
or accomplishing a goal. The creative process allows people to
become fully engaged in what they are doing and in the process
reinforce and further develop their skills. This results in increased
productivity for the organization.

Most Effective Leadership. Organizations need to foster and nurture
natural leadership without regard to official position or primary job
responsibilities. Natural leaders accomplish work by themselves
engaging in the creative process and by encouraging and facilitating
the realization of potential in fellow employees whether there is any
supervisory responsibility or not.

It is this style of leadership that most effectively contributes to
organizational success while fully nurturing the realization of
employee potential to the mutual benefit of the organization and its
full complement of human talent.
