Project Recovery: Tree of PH'1Q
Reminder
As we found in the initial investigation of PH'5Q-Association Arenas and confirmed with , , and , the 7 Q Arenas form a Tree with Centres that are meaningfully arranged and appear to reflect a psychosocial reality. Mouse-over thumbnail to review the pattern.
Naming
The Q-benefits sought in society via can provide the basics for . The Tree looks like this:
This Tree pattern makes good sense.
Dynamic Duality
Polarization can be identified at the expected levels:
- : may flow from personal efforts or from the management system. When a situation is serious and urgent, the personal is more powerful and effective than the bureaucracy.
- : may be about particular roles or it may focus on organisationally-required projects. The latter should always dominate.
- : is about obedience within the managerial hierarchy even if a person would prefer to be focused on adherence to the mission . The former needs to dominate.
In all three polarized levels, there is a bi-directional influence between the two Centres with the usual pattern of dominance at each level.
The remaining Centres appear to be balanced.
Q's and Levels
When a project is in trouble, everyone focuses on the need for as defined by critical goals. This touchstone is appropriately positioned at . and are the abstract inner-psychological and external-social arenas that are drive and control whatever is done. These arenas reciprocally influence and , which are the practical and psychosocial arenas. lies at the heart of the structure because if everyone does not pull together then success is unlikely. Cohesion has bi-directional influences with and , as well as directly interacting with . does not itself generate : but it enables .
There are likely important implications to be drawn from the channels that are not permitted, but this awaits deeper study.
Internal Duality
- The Centres and Channels in the L1-L4 Content section use to maintain the project in the face of stresses, with the actualization pressures from the Tree levels reinforcing the primary Q-pressures.
- the Centres and Channels in the L5-L7 Context section use to review and accelerate project progress, with the transcendence pressures from the Tree levels reinforcing the primary Q-pressures
Taken together, this supports naming : .
