Much of the last 25 years have been devoted to unraveling the mindboggling quantum condition in organizations. The main source is the book, Tool Making to Making Time, written as a textbook and available as an eBook off this website. Information on this subject proves vital to an organization’s success.

I’m often asked, “Dr. Blue, what do you do?” It’s a tough question because, should employees ask this sort of question at work, they most likely lose their jobs. Isabel Menzies Lyth documented this job loss among problem solvers decades ago at a teaching hospital in London. In the drawing above, the lone individual does

The basis for the organizational quantum condition comes from Elliott Jaques, MD, PhD (his PhD from Harvard in social relations). In his work at Glacier Metal following the Second World War, he discovered a time span depth-structure in management hierarchies that he went on to confirm in at least 100 organizations and 15 countries. (He

Here we have two sets of dice: the top three white with black dots, and the bottom three black with silver dots. So, what are the odds of rolling a 6 with one of these sets of three dice? With six sides on a die, a 6 on one side, and 3 dice; the odds

It wasn’t really that long ago—a million or so years in our line, a blink of an eye in evolutionary terms—that instead of a gazelle we were being hauled off as a leopard’s tasty meal. Just picture some hominid in our line as the victim. For one, we’re far easier to catch. Take away our

Increases in productivity and lower costs come from efforts to increase the quality of goods and services, not from time pressures and deadlines. In fact, emphasizing how “time’s flies” leads to decreased quality, not to mention undo stress and unsafe working conditions.  When you look at both sides of a clock, you find that time

Ever hear the criticism of Carl Jung’s work and depth psychology, in general, that images from the psyche and from myth cannot be measured? Well, it’s the most outlandish myth of all! If you’re familiar with imaginary numbers, then you already know. With i for the square root of -1, e for the 2.71828… base

Known as the Sagan Standard, Carl Sagan once said, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In the case of the organizational quantum condition, the claims are indeed extraordinary: time manufacture, student-team teaching with far greater retention, and direct patient involvement in their healthcare with a significant reduction in preventable medical errors, just to mention a few.

While this question might seem boring to some, what could Niels Bohr’s 1922 Nobel Prize for his model of atoms, such as the model of a carbon atom in the picture, have to do with organizations? As it turns out, quite a bit. (The rings show the most likely locations of the electrons.) According to

I realize that the diagram is a bit confusing. But hang in there as I briefly explain. In 2023 researchers at the Imperial College London proved that photons of light go back and forth across time in waves. That in itself is surprising enough but, as shown in the previous Blog titled “Stability→Profit & Spare
