TRANSCRIPT
Nature is organized by objects. The discovery of
the ontogenetic intelligence of nature, laid the
groundings for the unicist ontogenetic maps
to build objects emulating nature.
The Unicist Theory: A Paradigm Shift in Science
The Unicist Theory, developed by Peter Belohlavek, is a paradigm
shift of the scientific approach to complex adaptive systems. It sub-
stituted empiricism by a pragmatic, structuralist and functionalist ap-
proach and replaced knowledge falsification processes with destruc-
tive testing processes.
This theory provides an approach to complexity based on the use of
the unicist logic that emulates the intelligence that underlies nature. It
integrated complexity sciences with systemic sciences in a unified
field.
The Unicist Theory allowed understanding and influencing the evo-
lution of living beings and artificial complex adaptive systems. This
influence is exerted by using unicist logic based and object driven
technologies, which is now a worldwide trend.
Some of the companies that use objects are: Airbus, Amazon, Apple,
BBC, Boeing, Dassault Systemes, Dupont, Ericsson, Facebook, Gen-
eral Electric, Google, Hilton, Honda, Hyundai, LinkedIn, Lufthansa,
Mapfre, Mayo Clinic, Michelin, Novartis, Open Text, P&G, Pfizer,
SAP, Siemens, Tata Motors, Toyota, Unilever, Walmart, Walt Dis-
ney World and Youtube.

Managing Concepts
A Unicist Logical Approach
The conceptual approach requires that people need to know “why”
something is happening. This is unnecessary at an operational level, but
is a basic question when dealing with strategic approaches. The “know
why” is driven by a logical approach to reality that allows managing its
concept making it reasonable, understandable and provable.

When the boundaries of an activity are being expanded, individuals
need to apprehend the concept that is behind its operational aspects in
order to influence a new environment. This implies apprehending the
ontology (nature) of its concept and its dynamics.
On the one hand, the conceptual approach to reality became possible
based on the discovery of the structure of concepts, defined by a pur-
pose, an active and entropic function and an energy conservation func-
tion, which allowed apprehending the nature of facts and actions (unicist
ontology).*

On the other hand, the discovery that the concepts people have in mind
work as behavioral objects that drive their behavior made this conceptu-
al approach necessary to deal with strategic approaches.
The Origin of Conceptual Thinking
The endless “Why?” question posed by children (nearby 3 years old) is
what allows establishing the neural network needed by a person to ap-
prehend and manage concepts. This process starts when children begin
to look for the origin of those things they are interested in.
This endless “why” questioning has three main benefits:
1) It sustains the development of the neural network that allows
dealing with the origin of things and not only with the opera-
tional aspects.
2) It expands the language of the child driving her/him to deal with
an implicit integrative, fuzzy and predicate logic.

3) It provides the “why” that allows children to approach their
games, which develop their systemic thinking approach.
Conceptual diagnoses, conceptual design and conceptual management
became possible using the unicist logical approach, which made “con-
cepts” tangible and provided the structural functional approach to de-
velop diagnoses, strategies and architecture.

Reality is driven by objects
Unicist ontology based technologies are materialized in objects that are in-
stalled within processes to produce optimized results. Objects are built
based on the knowledge of the concepts that underlie them that are homol-
ogous to the “stem cells” of living beings.
Nature is organized by objects. The human body is an example of the organi-
zation by objects. It is these objects of nature that establish evolution’s point
of reference. The appearance of new species, the disappearance of others,
changes, evolution, and mutation of species are nothing but aspects of nature
that may be approached today as of the Unicist Theory which is based on the
discovery of the Ontogenetic Intelligence of Nature.
For this approach to be economic, possible and certain as far as results go,
it is necessary to have the appropriate knowledge. This knowledge may be
either diffuse or structured in objects. When it is diffuse, it is permanently
being scrutinized. When it is structured, it establishes cognitive landmarks
that change as new operational knowledge is gained.
Humans use mental “pre-built” structures to approach reality. Object driven
thinking is human’s natural approach to reality. Human mind approaches
reality using cognitive objects. A cognitive object is a structure that con-
tains knowledge, an action procedure, the groundings of such object, and
the opinion on which it is based.
When the conceptual knowledge of a given reality is reached we can struc-
ture cognitive objects that remain throughout the times and evolve slowly.
The Unicist Theory lays the necessary conceptual ground to construct sta-
ble and safe cognitive objects, which are required to forecast the reality
whose knowledge they structure.
These cognitive objects allow the building of systemic, functional and op-
erational objects to be installed within business processes. The cognitive
objects also allow the adaptation process of objects to different non com-
patible environments.
The unicist approach is based on the use of object driven technologies.

Introduction
The unicist organizational approach is based on designing strategies
and transforming them into actions using an object driven organiza-
tion model.
It implies complementing the Strategy of a company with the Object
Driven Organization that transforms the strategy into business ac-
tions. This allows integrating the processes with a Client Centered
Management model that is necessary to focus on the external market
- both on the customers or clients and shareholders.

This approach is based on emulating nature in organizations by using
the unicist logic and unicist business objects.
An extremely effective organization can be developed integrating
both structural aspects that sustain evolution and incidental aspects
that allow dealing with conjunctures. Emulating nature implies inte-
grating the abstract apprehension of reality with the concrete opera-
tional design.
Unicist Object Driven Organization
11
To emulate the nature of institutional processes it is necessary to be
able to deal with their unicist ontology.
The unicist ontology defines the nature of a specific reality consid-
ered as a unified field. A unicist ontology requires being able to ap-
prehend the essential purpose, the active function and the energy
conservation function of a specific reality.
This is the world of complex / adaptive systems in which, although
their nature is complex, their output has to be simple in order to be
operable.
The research of a unicist ontology is complex and requires years. In
the case of organizations, it was discovered that the purpose is im-
plicit in their mission, the active function is in their processes and the
energy conservation function is in the objects they use.
We will begin by giving access to the structure of unicist strategies,
then we will continue with the description of the unicist object driven
organization and end with a synthetic description of the client cen-
tered management.
We hope that this information gives you the idea of the functionality
of the object driven organization.

The Nature of Unicist Strategies
Essentially, it can be said that a Unicist Strategy is a conscious pro-
cess to influence the environment in an adapted way.
This implies that the nature of a personal strategy requires an adap-
tive attitude in order to influence the environment and profit from it.
Therefore, over-adapted people cannot develop but subjective strate-
gies that work as anti-strategies.
It has to be considered that individuals or institutions grow if the en-
ergy they appropriate is higher than the energy they consume. That is
why developing a strategy requires being able to increase the value
of what is delivered while reducing the cost of producing it.

The numbers 0 – 1 – 2 – 3 represent
the steps of Ontogenetic Evolution.
The numbers 0 to -1 represent the
steps of Ontogenetic Involution.
The purpose of developing strategies is to grow in an environment.
Individuals or institutions either grow or involve. There is no possi-
bility of being fixed at a level because the environment is evolving
and that transforms any “inaction” to remain at the same level into an
involution process.
Unicist Object Driven Organization
13
Growing requires influencing the environment to deliver something
and profiting from the counterpart. Influencing implies being able to
develop an asymmetric complementation, with a negative slope, with
the environment in which the strategy is being developed.
Adaptiveness requires that this influence occurs within the limits of
the rules of the environment. These rules regulate both adaptive and
over-adaptive aspects of the environment.
The Ontogenetic Map of Unicist Strategies
The driver of Unicist Strategies is to achieve a vital space expansion.
This purpose requires integrating both value generation and the genera-
tion of profits: Value generation, in order to be able to expand the
boundaries of an activity, and, on the other hand, the generation of prof-
its, in order to expand the entity that is developing the strategy.

Value generation requires understanding the needs of the environ-
ment and being able to make a differentiated proposal that exceeds
the aesthetics of substitutes and succedanea.
The Unicist Research Institute
14
The profit generation is the natural complement of the vital space
expansion. This generation allows occupying an influential space in
the expanded environment.
Maximal Strategy
The maximal strategy of this approach is driven by the building of
the necessary critical mass that allows influencing the environment.
The design of the critical mass, which includes defining the aesthet-
ics of the value proposal, designing the influential process and con-
firming the available credibility, is the first step to be developed.
Critical mass is the minimum amount of energy that is needed to in-
fluence the environment to produce predefined results.
After this process has been designed it becomes necessary to define
the roles of the business processes. Unicist Strategy is driven by the
roles of the functions that are needed to achieve the critical mass.
The role driven business processes are what make the maximal strat-
egy possible considering that each role is an adaptive system in itself
that assumes the responsibility for results.
After the roles have been organized, it is necessary to develop the
destructive pilot tests to confirm the limits of their functionality. De-
structive tests are designed beginning with the application in known
environments and expanding the use of the critical mass that has
been organized beyond the known boundaries until it becomes dys-
functional.
The destructive tests can work either as the catalysts or the inhibitors
of the strategy building process. They accelerate the process when
their results are within the scope of what is needed. But, on the other
Unicist Object Driven Organization
15
hand, they can inhibit the process when they are not done or the re-
sults demonstrate that the critical mass is not reliable.
The maximal strategy is confirmed when these destructive tests have
demonstrated that the vital space expansion, that needs to be pro-
duced, is within the limits of the available critical mass.
Minimum Strategy
The next process after the critical mass has been proved is the con-
firmation of a minimum strategy to ensure survival.
This minimum strategy requires defining where the activities will
happen within the rules of the environment. It requires defining the
category of the business that fits into the environment.
This implies defining the processes that ensure the profit generation
that is needed as part of this strategy. It requires organizing the pro-
cesses based on tasks, transforming the roles into programmed work
processes that allow ensuring results.
To develop the minimum strategy it is necessary to test these work
processes and the results they produce using non-destructive tests.
The non-destructive tests are done to confirm the productivity and
quality of the processes that were designed to ensure profit genera-
tion and results.
When both maximal and minimum strategies have been implement-
ed, the whole process can be considered reliable and the vital space
expansion can be achieved.

Level 1) Operational Strategies
These are the strategies that allow developing operational businesses
in demand driven markets of commodities and functional products
that have no differentiation.
They are the strategies of small businesses that could exceed the lev-
el of subjective strategies. They use basically “freedom-fighting”
strategies.
They are stagnated in a non-adaptive niche based on their know-how
and are sustained by the survivor’s ethics.
Unicist Object Driven Organization
17
This level is exceeded when such strategies are able to integrate the
efficiency of methods with the efficacy of the leaders.
Level 2) Non-influential Strategies
They include the preceding level. These are the strategies developed
by the “followers” of a market. They are functional when price strat-
egies can be developed or when they involve a niche market.
They are the strategies of organizations that take advantage of the
weakness of leaders and innovators.
They are sustained by value earning ethics and use basically “flank
attacking” strategies. They have great difficulties to produce growth.
This level is exceeded when they are able to generate a differentiated
value in the market.
Level 3) Specific Strategies
They include the preceding level. These are the strategies that inte-
grate both maximal and minimum strategies that allow ensuring the
permanence of a company within a stable market.
They are functional for most of the businesses when the market is not
changing. They are the strategies of market leaders and of those who
establish the standards in some field.
They are able to expand markets based on the brand they naturally
include. They use basically “dominant” strategies.
They are conservatives and do not develop long-term strategies based
on the use of a value adding ethics.
The Unicist Research Institute
18
This level is exceeded when such strategies begin to develop suc-
cessful long-term strategies.
Level 4) Universal Strategies
They include the preceding level. These are the strategies that are
driven by future scenarios and innovation. It is the natural strategy of
all institutionalized companies in changing environments.
They are functional for all businesses but require a superior level of
management that is able to deal with the future and the innovation of
technologies using their capacity to influence the environment.
They tend to develop a superior critical mass that allows them to lead
the market, establish standards and introduce innovations. This level
requires being driven by the ethics of foundations.
This is the superior level of maturity in strategies.
About Anti / Subjective Strategies
The Anti/Subjective Strategies are those strategies that are developed
by solopreneurs and entrepreneurs who run a business based on their
personal beliefs in response to conjunctural needs.
These are the strategies developed by “butterfly companies”, which
are driven by the subjectivity of the owners. They survive based on
the subjective influence the owners have in a market. Their survival
is continuously endangered. Subjective strategies are sustained by the
stagnant survivor’s ethics.
This level of maturity is exceeded when the subjective approach allows
establishing structural (institutional) relationships with the market.
19
The Unicist Object Driven Organization Model
The object driven organization is the adaptive model that allows
transforming strategies into an object driven architecture. It is a natu-
ral organization for institutionalized businesses.
Institutionalization fosters, on the one hand, timeless strategies in
order to ensure the permanence of a business and, on the other hand,
short-term strategies to adapt to the conjunctures of the environment.

The final objective is to transform a business strategy into a business
organization emulating the organization of nature. Nature, and any
complex adaptive system, is organized by objects. This is evident
when one sees the ecosystem or the organs of a human body.
In the field of business, the object driven organization is based on the
design of the business processes, integrating business objects to
achieve the strategic objectives that have been established. Objects
are adaptive systems that have a concept that defines their purposes,
The Unicist Research Institute
20
have a value generating function and a quality assurance system that
makes them reliable.
Only people who manage a process can use objects in a meaningful
way. The example of an autopilot in an airplane makes this evident.
An autopilot has limits where its use is functional and the pilot needs
to reassume the process when these limits are being exceeded.
The Ontogenetic Map of the UODO
The goals that have been defined as possible by a strategic design are
the input for the implementation of an object driven organization.
These goals include a qualitative and quantitative definition in order
to maintain the adaptability of the system.
The maximal strategy of the strategic objectives influences the roles
that need to be defined and the minimum strategy defines the effi-
ciency of the system that needs to be achieved.

The business processes drive the maximal strategy of this model
while the business objects sustain the minimum strategy.
The Maximal Strategy
The purpose of the maximal strategy is the development of an adap-
tive system to manage the processes that are needed to achieve the
goals that have been established. UODO is a universal adaptive mod-
el that applies to any institutionalized activity to produce results.
When the purpose of developing an adaptive system to manage the
processes has been clarified, it becomes necessary to establish the
roles that need to be organized to deal with the efficacy of the busi-
ness processes.
After the roles have been defined, it becomes possible to define the
efficiency of the processes, which implies the organization of a sys-
tem that works as the catalyst of the UODO.
This model needs to be based on the definition of roles and an effi-
cient system to sustain the adaptiveness of the maximal strategy.
The Minimum Strategy
The minimum strategy of the UODO is given by the use of business ob-
jects that sustain the processes. The first step to be developed is the def-
inition of the driving objects that allow the achievement of the goals.
After the driving processes have been specified, it is necessary to de-
fine the inhibiting objects to be used to focus on the processes in or-
der to ensure the functionality of the results.
Inhibiting objects are installed to define the limits of what is accepta-
ble or not. They allow individuals to focus the energy on what needs
to be done.
The Unicist Research Institute
22
When the inhibitors have been defined, it is necessary to install en-
tropy inhibiting objects that ensure that the limits of the functionality
defined by the processes are not exceeded. These entropy inhibiting
objects are the entropy inhibitors of the model and sustain the func-
tionality of the driving objects installed in the processes.
The object driven organization can be considered complete when the
business objects are installed and work within the business processes
that have been organized to fulfill the maximal and minimum strategies.
This process requires making destructive and non-destructive pilot
tests to confirm the validity of the organization.

23
Level 1) Conjuncture Focused
This level of organization is focused on solving the problems of the
conjuncture. It is a short-term organization that is necessarily driven
by the personal qualifications of the participants in a business pro-
cess.
Each conjuncture is managed simultaneously as a threat and as an
opportunity. There are no established roles for the participants. The
relationships are managed based on subjective influences and the
goal is to survive or take advantage of a situation.
There are no strategic goals established. This level of organization is
driven by power and materialistic needs. This level cannot organize
by objects and its evolution is basically driven by heroes.
The adaptive capacity of this organization is defined by the adaptive
capacity of its members.
This level of organization cannot evolve to a superior level unless the
organization is re-founded.
Level 2) Productivity Focused
This level of UODO is focused on improving the productivity. It or-
ganizes by objects in order to increase productivity and minimize
costs.
Its main goal is to minimize the time of processes. It is based on in-
stalling business objects in functional organization processes in order
to ensure their functionality and increase the speed of execution.
The timing of the processes is focused on the productive processes.
The adaptive capacity of this organization is based on the use of
The Unicist Research Institute
24
mathematical tools that allow establishing patterns that are used to
adapt to the environment.
This level of UODO is functional for massive production processes
that need a low level of adaptiveness to the environment.
These organizations empower their adaptive capacity by the use of
reliability systems and objective performance management systems.
It allows managing stable markets and is based on operational strate-
gies.
This level evolves to a superior level when the productivity that has
been achieved allows managing a price leadership.
Level 3) Quality Assurance Focused
This level of UODO includes the preceding level and includes a
quality assurance focus that allows introducing adaptive automation
in the processes.
This adaptive automation includes a quality assurance system that
allows establishing entropy inhibiting objects that avoid the loss of
energy and the loss of the focus of the organization.
It is based on integrating the productivity of the preceding level with
the quality of the processes. It includes the goals established by the
strategic plan.
This level includes an incipient level of client orientation which
drives the objectives of the quality assurance. It is natural for organi-
zations that have a non-influential strategy, which requires influenc-
ing the environment through competitive prices and the quality of the
products and services.
Unicist Object Driven Organization
25
This level of UODO is based on a strong bureaucratic organization
model compensated with an organization by objectives that allows
members of the organization to participate in the establishment of
such objectives. It is functional to operate in stable markets.
This level of organization evolves to a superior level when the quali-
ty and productivity of a company are the standard of the market or
match the standards.
Level 4) Results Focused
This level of UODO includes the preceding level and is based on es-
tablishing a performance management system that allows monitoring
the results of the company, the market and the shareholders.
This level establishes a strong focus on the market needs in order to
ensure results. This focus implies establishing an efficient system
that sustains the institutionalization of the company.
The people who participate in this company need to follow the strict
rules of efficiency of the system, which need to be adaptive. This al-
lows empowering the organization in order to manage the specific
strategies that have been defined.
The level of adaptiveness is high and managed by the system. The
system uses adaptive interfaces to manage the adaptive aspects of the
business.
This level of UODO is based on a matrix organization that allows
integrating the needs of the products and services with those of the
market. It allows expanding markets when the organization has a
dominant position.
This level of organization evolves to a superior level when the com-
pany establishes a dominant position in the market.
The Unicist Research Institute
26
Level 5) Improvement Focused
This level of UODO includes the preceding level and is the most
adaptive and effective type of organization. It is based on having an
evolutionary model based on object driven process improvements.
Such improvements allow taking advantage of all the objects in-
stalled at the different levels improving them based on the changes
that are needed to better adapt to the market and taking advantage of
the new technologies that are available.
It requires integrating the non-adaptive aspects of the business that
need to be upgraded in their efficiency with the adaptive aspects that
need to become effective based on their efficacy.
The level of adaptiveness is adequate to the needs of the market,
shareholders and stakeholders and its most significant characteristic
is the organization by roles working as interdependent units.
The organization by roles empowers adaptiveness and allows opti-
mizing processes. It requires having the necessary future scenarios in
order to be able to plan long-term adaptive strategies. It also requires
having established a universal strategic plan.
This superior level of organization needs to have corruption inhibi-
tors in order to avoid its degradation.
Some considerations on objects
Objects are productive adaptive units that have a concept, an added
value, the necessary quality assurance and a methodology to ensure
the minimum strategy. To imagine an object please consider an au-
tomatic pilot in an airplane. It can be considered a “paradigmatic”
object.
Unicist Object Driven Organization
27
We would like to make a clarification of the difference between ob-
jects and things.
Objects only exist within a process. When they are not part of a pro-
cess they are things.
Objects produce an added value for someone in the process. When
they do not produce added value they are things. Things can be such
in some conditions and objects in others. The definition of an “ob-
ject” is functional to a value that needs to be achieved.
For example, a commercial car is an object if there is a driver, if not it is
a thing. But if it is a collection car it is an object for the owner and for
those who appreciate its value. For those who do not, it is just a thing.
In the world of abstract objects a rumor is an object if it achieves the
expected value. News is an object if it has a use for the one who re-
ceives it.
That is why it has to be clarified that objects depend on a given func-
tionality within a process. A stone might be an object if it has a use,
if not, it is just a thing.
That is why only people who have a sound knowledge on a process
can design the objects that are part of the process.
In order to reuse objects in other homologous processes it becomes
necessary to have an expert knowledge. Without it no homologies
can be understood.
There are different types of objects:
● Driving Objects
To drive processes
● Catalyzing Objects
To accelerate processes

Personal Roles as Objects
Only people who accept that their value is in the role they play in a
work process are able to design object driven organizations.
People who just develop their work by executing tasks can use ob-
jects as part of their work process but cannot lead these processes.

A personal role identifies the functional identity that an individual
has and that the environment expects s/he will fulfill.
The personal role becomes an object when an individual truly as-
sumed the full responsibility of what is expected in an adaptive envi-
ronment.
The personal role of an individual considered as an object is what
makes such individual be part of an adaptive environment.
The Unicist Research Institute
30
The assumption of this personal role working as an object includes
providing an added value to the environment, having objective as-
pects that generate the added value and subjective aspects to sustain
the subjective value that is provided.
Over-adaptive environments do not accept the existence of roles.
They transform the functionality of an individual’s role into subjec-
tivism and duties that are managed by the manipulation of illusions,
fears and guilt.
Personal-role objects have, like any other objects, a concept, an add-
ed value and a quality assurance process. An individual has the pos-
sibility of structuring her/his role or follow the rules of over-
adaptation.
Personal roles as objects make people transparent, reliable, account-
able and respectable. The objectification of roles allows individuals
to exert their subjective approach without falling into subjectivism.
Individuals have multiple roles depending on the environment in
which they act. From this point of view, an individual who is alone
and has no contact with the external environment, has no personal
role. The integration with the environment is what makes the person-
al roles exist as objects.
Every object has a level of energy that defines its critical mass. This
energy is defined by the functional aesthetics of the role’s added val-
ue, the personal influence an individual has and the credibility of the
value proposal.
The Structure of Personal Roles as Objects
Personal roles work as objects in adaptive environments because they
allow integrating groups knowing the functionality of each member,
Unicist Object Driven Organization
31
which permits building synergy and establishing driving, inhibiting
and entropy inhibiting functions.
The acknowledgement of these roles also allows adding external
functions to the group to provide catalyzing and gravitational func-
tions to accelerate actions and ensure their consistency.

The driver of the personal-role object is the use value of the role. It is
part of the subjective value, which is the purpose of the function and
provides the concept of the universal definition of an object.
It requires that this personal-role object be considered a reference
value with the necessary timing, which implies synchronicity, accel-
eration and speed in order to provide value when it is needed.
The objective aspects cover the adding value function of an object
and are homologous to the ontogenetic map of architecture (defined
by the concepts of Utility, Aesthetics and Solidity).
The Unicist Research Institute
32
The purpose of the objective aspects is to provide Utility, the active
function is a completing function (Aesthetics) and the Solidity is
provided by the reliable delivery of what is expected.
The subjective aspects of personal-role objects provide the trustabil-
ity of the role, which defines its respectability. Predictability is the
first step to earn respectability. The second step is ensuring reliabil-
ity, which provides the entropy inhibitor that ensures the functionali-
ty of personal roles.
There are five categories of personal roles that define different levels
of influence in an adaptive environment:

Unicist Object Driven Organization
33
Level 1) Subjective Roles
This category of roles is based on the acceptance that every individu-
al does what s/he can do. This hinders the development of institu-
tionalized processes and is based on a task driven organization that
cannot deal with adaptive environments.
The participants need to be accepted “as is” and the influence, within
an organization where subjective roles are accepted, is based on per-
sonal relationships.
These organizations cannot deal with an object driven organization
because they cannot accept the management of processes with pre-
installed objects. This type of organization is natural in over-adaptive
environments.
Level 2) Operational Roles
These are roles that are defined to manage the operational aspects of
businesses. These roles are based on the “know how” that people
have and use operational objects that allow them to save energy to
manage the business processes.
This category is based on assuming roles based on known cause-
effect relationships. Predictability is the core value of these individu-
als, which requires that people who assumed this role be fully de-
pendable on their actions, which implies that they need to have a full
commitment with the objectives included in their function. The re-
spectability of this role is centrally given by the client orientation of
the people who assume it.
The individuals of this level evolve to a superior role when they are
naturally focused on improving the processes based on the feedback
from the environment. They remain in this role when they fulfill their
The Unicist Research Institute
34
objectives without having the innovation capacity to improve. They
manage the operational aspects of object driven organizations.
Level 3) Control Roles
This role includes the knowledge required by the preceding role. This
role implies having assumed the responsibility for managing opera-
tional functions in order to improve results.
People who assume this role need to have the operational concepts of
the operation in order to be able to ensure the reliability of the pro-
cesses. The respectability of this role is based on having the capacity
of leading the operation based on performance standards without
generating conflicts.
Control roles require having a sound knowledge of the cause-effect
relationships of the operational aspects of the business processes that
are involved and of the objectives that need to be achieved.
The individuals of this level evolve to a superior role when they are
able to integrate operational objectives with strategic objectives.
They remain in this role when they are unable to assume risks. They
manage the performance management aspects of the object driven
organizations.
Level 4) Constructive Roles
This role includes the knowledge required by the preceding roles. It
requires that the individuals have an architectural approach to busi-
ness, which means being able to understand the structure of the busi-
ness processes as a unified field.
This is required in order to design and build business processes and
business objects. Their main responsibility is to develop the neces-
Unicist Object Driven Organization
35
sary organization of the processes that are needed to achieve the es-
tablished goals.
They need to be able to design trustable processes that include ob-
jects and the quality assurance processes for the object driven organ-
ization. To assume the responsibility of these roles it is necessary to
have the fundamental and the technical-analytical knowledge of the
functions included.
The individuals of this level evolve to a superior level when they are
able to forecast the evolution of the business and of the necessary
processes. They remain at this level when they cannot assume the
risk of managing adaptive processes. They manage the architectural
aspects of the object driven organizations.
Level 5) Adaptive Roles
This role includes the knowledge required by the preceding roles.
This role implies managing the dynamics of the business in order to
develop strategies and assume the responsibility of the conceptual
design of the processes.
This role requires that individuals be able to manage the trade-offs
among the needs of the customers, of the shareholders and of the
stakeholders. They need to manage the use value of the value propo-
sitions, the competitive positioning and the opportunities of the mar-
ket.
Their main responsibility is given by the understanding of the mar-
ket, the integration of technologies and the organization of the neces-
sary manpower to achieve the objectives. They are fully responsible
for defining the strategies for growth.
This role includes the participation in the institutions of the environ-
ment that influence the business. They need to manage the unified

Individuals succeed at this level as long as they are able to guide the
adaptiveness of the organization in the environment.

Client Centered Management
The functionality of the Client Centered Management model is driv-
en and catalyzed by the use of business objects that save energy and
make processes simpler and more effective.
CCM implies an Object Driven Organization
Nature, as a paradigmatic complex adaptive system, is organized by
objects. The unicist organizational approach is based on emulating
nature to manage businesses as adaptive systems.
The unicist object driven organization is the natural way to organize
based on the knowledge of the ontogenetic maps of a business and its
functions.
It implies integrating business objects in the business processes that
allow managing the adaptive aspects of businesses accelerating pro-
cesses while saving energy.
Object driven marketing, object driven strategy, object driven man-
agement, object driven continuous improvement, object driven nego-
tiation and object driven leadership are paradigmatic examples of the
object driven organization.

Object driven Client Centered Management
The goal of Client Centered Management (CCM) is to install busi-
nesses processes that ensure the achievement of results, client orien-
tation and the generation of added value.
It is a generic object driven model that adopts all the shapes that are
functional to different types of activities. Its application to industri-
al, medical, commercial, administrative and R&D processes permit-
ted the definition of a logical structure that allows taking advantage
of the object driven organization to accelerate processes and save
energy.

The driver of the CCM is the achievement of a critical mass of the
business processes that provides the necessary results assurance. It
includes the use of driving objects to sustain the aesthetics of the
value proposition, catalyzing objects to provide the necessary influ-
ence to ensure the functionality and gravitational objects that sustain
the credibility of the activities.
The maximal strategy of the CCM is given by having installed a sys-
tem that drives towards building complementation, which requires
the use of two different types of objects. One of these objects is in-
troduced to build an asymmetric complement to influence the envi-
ronment and the other one is used to build a symmetric complemen-
tation to manage the relationships with the customers.
When the concept of the complementation has been defined, it is neces-
sary to ensure the availability of the solutions proposed. This requires
having the necessary timing to be synchronic with the needs of the envi-
ronment and having the necessary speed to follow the environment and
the necessary acceleration of actions in order to influence it.

Reliability is the catalyst of the CCM, which implies that the fulfill-
ment is the accelerator of the functionality of the model. The mis-
management of the lack of fulfillment drives naturally to the degra-
dation of the model.

Reliability requires the existence of a system that sustains the func-
tionality of the processes. Complementation can be built when a reli-
ability system has been installed.
The goal of the minimum strategy of the CCM is to ensure the value
added. To make this possible it is necessary to have installed a quali-
ty assurance system. This quality assurance system includes aspects
that deal both with the efficacy of the participants of the business
processes and with the efficiency of the system.
Efficacy, defined as the capacity of individuals to assume the respon-
sibility to produce results, is based on the existence of role accounta-
bility, task proficiency and reliable knowledge of those who partici-
pate in the process.
Unicist Object Driven Organization
41
Efficiency, on the other hand, defined as the potential capacity of a
system to produce predefined results, is based on the integration of
productivity, quality and deliverability.
Efficiency is the entropy inhibitor of the CCM, which requires hav-
ing an object driven continuous improvement process to ensure that
the level of efficiency remains above the threshold required by the
competitive environment.

The Unicist Research Institute
Peter Belohlavek is the creator of the Unicist Theory and the founder of The
Unicist Research Institute, a private global research organization specialized
in complexity sciences, that has an academic arm and a business arm.
He was born on April 13, 1944 in Zilina, Slovakia. His basic education is in
Economic Sciences. To apprehend "reality" as a complex unified field he
completed his education with research driven guided studies in Psychology,
Epistemology, Anthropology, Economy, Education, Sociology, Life Sciences
and Management.
The Unicist Theory made adaptive systems manageable and gave an episte-
mological structure to complexity sciences. This theory established a new
starting point in science which expanded the possibilities of human influence
The Unicist Research Institute
52
in adaptive environments. This is a new stage like the stage that was opened
by the Theory of Relativity.
This theory allowed managing the adaptive aspects from Life Sciences to
Social Sciences. Its application provided the four scientific pillars to develop
the unicist technologies: Conceptual Economics, Conceptual Anthropology,
Conceptual Psychology and Conceptual Management.
As it is known, the management of complexity has been an unsolved chal-
lenge for sciences. Science dealt with complexity using multiple palliatives
but without achieving consensus of what complex systems are.
This challenge has been faced in 1976 at The Unicist Research Institute,
which became a pioneering organization in the development of concrete so-
lutions to manage the complex adaptive systems by developing a logical ap-
proach that uses the Unicist Theory.
He discovered the intelligence that underlies nature, which gave birth to the
Unicist Theory, and the ontointelligence that defines the roots of human in-
telligence. These discoveries and developments expanded the possibilities to
upgrade education, to influence social and institutional evolution and to deal
with markets.
The unicist logical approach expanded the boundaries of existing sciences.
The Unicist Theory was used to develop applications in Life Sciences, Future
Research, Business, Education, Healthcare and Social and Human behavior.
Now complex adaptive systems became manageable and complexity science
received its epistemological structure.
Among other roles, he leads the Future Research Laboratory of The Unicist
Research Institute. It is a space to give access to information on country ar-
chetypes, future scenarios and trends to the worldwide community.
( More information: http://www.unicist.org/peter-belohlavek.php )
The Unicist Research Institute was the pioneer in complexity science re-
search and became a private global decentralized leading research organiza-
tion in the field of human adaptive systems.
