Systemic Intelligence Training

SYSTEMICINTELLIGENCE

A new level of thinking for boostingyour business in the new Millennium

The New Frontier Of Intelligence

By definition

INTELLIGENCEis the ability to learn or understand things or

to deal with new or difficult situations.


The drastic changes that have occurred in our

world, and consequently in the way of doing business, produced

unprecedented challenges that require totally new

approaches.


Hence, the need for the capacity to deal with

these challenges effectively has led to the development of a

new form of intelligence, called


SYSTEMICINTELLIGENCE

Understanding How Nature Works

Until not too long ago, the world was divided into political and

economical blocks.Business was mostly “local”, and the old mechanistic way of thinking was

absolutely suitable for that.

Then, the fall of the Soviet empire, the globalization, and especially

Internet, swept out all the blocks, and the world as we knew it before

simply vanished!


By simple extrapolation, it doesn’t take much to understand that our planet is on its way to become a

giant village!

However, there is no way that we can keep using the old way of thinking in this new setting.

It requires a massive paradigm shift, for which we have absolutely no

references, but ONE…


NATURE

A very intricate and interactive system of forces we can’t control, but whichwe must become acquainted with and learn to manage dynamically.


The word

“NATURE”in this context has nothing to do with the flora and the fauna

out there.Rather, it refers to the actual structure of the reality in which

we operate, which responds to each and every one of ouractions.


Conversely, if our actions breach the laws of Nature, then the

systems will strike back in ways we can’t predict…

… and we’re not going to get away with

“It’s not fair, I didn’t now!”

If our actions abide by the laws of Nature (also called systemic

laws), then the systems respond favorably, and it will become

much easier for us to pursue the success we are working so hard

to achieve.


This is not a moralistic approach to business in any which way.It has nothing to do with being a good, caring or honest person.

The systemic laws have been governing our world ever sinceits birth. They haven’t changed since, and they are not likely to

change any time soon!

Thinking “according to Nature” implies having to make a dramaticparadigm shift, and this requires us to develop a

SYSTEMIC INTELLIGENCE.

The Formidable Trio

The heart ofSystems Dynamics(how Nature operates)

is the so-called

“Formidable Trio”,which consists in a strong and unbreachable bond between the three basic elements of

reality.

The Formidable Trio

The awesome strength of this system is in that whatever happens to one of these elements will inevitably reflect on the other two.

As an example, a poor Self-Esteem will generate a Scarcity mentality, and it will make it easier for us to breach the

Metaprinciples, thus weakening our Self-Esteem even more, in a never-ending vicious circle that will produce crises and conflicts.

But the opposite is also true. Working on our Self-Esteem will strengthen our Abundance mindset, and it will induce us to abide

by the Metaprinciples, getting systems to start working for us instead of against us, as in the previous instance.

The Formidable Trio

SELF-ESTEEMFrom a psychological perspective,

Self-Esteem is a mental and emotional condition where the

individual “feels good” with and about himself.

From a systemic point of view, Self-Esteem is about an individual

developing a strong sense of worth resulting from a healthy interaction with the other two

elements of the Trio.

The Formidable Trio

ABUNDANCEIt is not an economical condition at all, but a mental state that

allows to see reality for what it is: opulent and munificent; full of

opportunities and beauty.A Scarcity mindset (opposite to Abundance), is both the conse-quence and origin of poor Self-Esteem, which will in turn move us to breach the Metaprinciples, thus generating more Scarcity.

The Formidable Trio

METAPRINCIPLESThese are the actual basic laws of Nature (or systemic laws),

from which all the otherprinciples derive.

There are 7 Metaprinciples: Life, Transparence, Openness, Growth, Balance, Dynamism, and Comple-

ment.Poor Self-Esteem and lack of

Abundance will favor the brea-ching of these laws.

The Skills Of Systemic Intelligence

All types of intelligence manifest through a set of skills which, if and when properly used, strengthen in turn the intelligence that

generated them.

SYSTEMIC INTELLIGENCEis no exception.


There are (again) 7 basic skills that ensue from Systemic

Intelligence.

As we almost exclusively use our “standard”, mechanistic,

Technical Intelligence, it’s hard, at first, to see these

as skills, but they’ll start making more sense as you get

deeper into this.


RELATIONSHIPSWe are accustomed to think about Relationships as something that pertains to our emotional domain.This is true, but there’s also a lot

more to it. People are systems, as anything else in Nature, and they

respond to systemic laws.Learning to deal with relationships systemically adds a lot more to our

relational potential.


CONTROLWe are accustomed to think

about Relationships as something that pertains to our

emotional domain.This is true, but there’s also a lot more to it. People are systems, as anything else in Nature, and they respond to systemic laws.

Dealing with relationships syste-mically adds a lot more to our

relational skills.

CONTROLAnything we think about and do is ultimately directed to getting more

Control.This is indeed an absolute necessity,

because we can’t get anywhere without control.

The problem is that we try to achieve control “mechanistically”, which is a non-systemic way to lead our life and business. But there’s another way…


LEADERSHIPMost of what is said and written about

leadership refers to the development of emotional skills.

That is obviously essential in a leader, but hardly enough in today’s world, which is becoming more and more

“systemic”.Today’s leader must develop

Systemic Intelligence in order to not only manage events, but predict

them.


SELF-ESTEEMSelf-Esteem is one of the elements of the “Formidable Trio”, but it is also a skill which consists of increasing our

sense of worth.Systemic Intelligence is based on our capacity to understand, see and ma-nage the dynamics at play between the outer systems and the inner

systems within each one of us, and Self-Esteem plays a huge role in this.


ABUNDANCEAbundance is a mental state that

ensues from the way we look at rea-lity, and learning to look at reality in a way where everything that happens has a purpose and it’s for our best interest is an outstanding achieve-ment that enables us to unleash our

full potential.It’s not about what’s being taken from

us, but what’s being given to us


FREEDOMAgain, most of us see Freedom as a social condition, but from a systemic perspective it is a skill based on our capacity to make choices that are not subject to our emotional and

mental conditioning, thus enabling us to see and relate to reality much

more confidently and to live a more fulfilling life, while becoming far more

effective at work.


DIRECTIONDirection is the worthy closure of

this set of systemic skills, as it provides the compass that today’s entrepreneur needs in order to play

confidently in this new reality.This skill enables to step back and look at the single problem from a

wider angle, realizing that it is simply the effect of a distortion at the

systemic level.

Getting to know Systemic Intelligence better

I’ve been involved in the study and the development of Systemic Intelligence for the past 20 years, and this work now

enables me to help entrepreneurs become more effective and productive

with their business.This new “discipline” allows anybody to step up in their personal evolution and

to work out way more powerful and incisive strategies to improve the qua-

lity of their life and work.
