Strategy and Self-Awareness

Tactical processes converge towards the goal.

Strategic processes diverge in terms of goals but converge in terms of the strategist's self-awareness.

Keys of Genius

I have published an article (in Russian) that describes a simplified (but still powerful) version of the Taogram Process as a structured thinking technique.

Influence, Synergy and Aggregation

2009-04-14T08:31:00.000-07:00

Taogram Process practitioners distinguish three forms of resource interaction:

Influence = the "Pair" from the Pair, Plus, Star, More

Synergy = "Plus"

Aggregation = "Star"

Theoretically, Synergy could be represented as a kind of mutual Influence, but in practice it leads to a combinatorial explosion of the ontology, which quickly becomes unmaintainable.

Programming is...

Programming is a particular case of business environment tuning.

Pair, Plus, Star, More

2009-03-26T04:17:00.000-07:00

Pair, Plus, Star, More - this formula describes the information structure that forms the basis for the Taogram Process.

"Pair" is a pair of resources (context and subject) that participate the influence manifestation.

"Plus" is a heterogenous resource group that represents either context or subject and contains one or more resource units. The "plus" is a term from the regular expression notation; it means "one or more".

"Star" corresponds to an optional homogenous resource set that forms the unit. "Star" is the regular expression notation again; it stands for "zero or more".

"More" term in the formula means that when diving deeper into the structure we get the "Pair, Plus, Star" sequence again and again.

Competitive Intelligence and Strategic Creativity

The strategic creativity is a competitive intelligence in the space of the future variants.

Strategy vs. Tactics

2009-01-22T09:03:00.000-08:00

Tactics is determined by the resources.

Strategy is determined by the identity.

Dialectic Management

Dialectic Management is a management style that can be achieved by applying the Taogram Process to the managed resources.

About me

2008-11-04T06:55:00.001-08:00

My name is Roman Porotnikov.

I perform self-motivated research in knowledge management and structured thinking processes.

My results include Taogram Process for creative strategic thinking, as well as its applications to the areas of competitive awareness and software development.

My current interests are grouped around discovering the business potential of information resources using Java, Eclipse and Android software platforms.

I got a Specialist degree in Applied Mathematics from Simferopol State University (now Taurida National University).

I live in Simferopol, Ukraine.
