Get More: Intellectual Technologies

Far more benefit will accrue if you engage with various intellectual technologies that can be generated from this simple 7-level Subsidiary Typology.

Would you like to develop an instrument or tool that will help people use this framework in a more systematic way? If so, contact us to discuss your ideas and proposals.

Well-being & Productivity

The mentalities can be divided into two sets mediating two essential social needs; revealing many features critical to our functioning as individuals, and to our organizations and societies.

• Stabilizing well-being.
• Generating productivity.

Business & Markets

These adaptations of the framework clarify:

• Money & Work
• How Business gets Damaged
• Where Markets get their Values
• Getting Work via Alternatives to the Market

Derived Frameworks

Given that the basics are understood, a variety of useful intellectual technologies can be developed:

• A new Framework for How Organizations must Harness their People
• A new Framework for Career Development
• A new Framework for the Holy Grail of management: Cooperating for Results
• A new Framework for Making a Business Profitable
• A new Framework for all possible Strategies for Marketing
• The Framework used unawares by governments Intervening in the Economy

The Above Applications are all Based on Incorporating Elements of All 7 Approaches

In any organization or society, by contrast to individuals, all approaches are essential. This is because they all provide benefits and suit different inter-personal and social challenges.

This inclusiveness can be problematic due to the incompatibility amongst approaches and the intensity of feelings that surround each. However, a way to enable compatibility exists.

To allow people to operate productively rather than by disparaging or excluding others, a deeper understanding of this framework is required. It is essential for developing the further useful applications—that deserve the label: «intellectual technology».

• The first step is to get a stronger fix on the benefits that accrue to yourself and to others. That will allow you to explore self-development and societal contributions when using the approaches.
