How to Slay the DragonWritten by Pamela Geiss

This is same principle. You are what you think you are. If you believe you can be successful, then you will go about doing things that are necessary to make it so. You will work to find what you need to know to make it so. Let's face it, if you don't believe in yourself or your product, how in world do you think you will be able to convince anyone else? If you think you will fail, then you WILL fail! Anyone who plays an instrument can tell you there are times they are playing a piece and it's going really well and they think, "Wow, I haven't made a mistake yet!" And what's next thing that happens? Boom! There's that mistake. Why? Because they didn't really believe they could play that piece all way through perfectly, so they "made" that mistake happen without even realizing it! Many of you won't even believe what I'm writing to you here, and that's too bad, actually, because it can serve you well and get you started in right direction. Believe me, I've been there, done that, and I learned this lesson - so can you! It's never too late, you know!

The principle of OR was that new circumstances required innovative methodologies. An OR group was always a mixture of different professional disciplines. A botanist, a mathematician, a chemist, a psychologist, an astronomer - each OR member brought to group a discrete worldview or logical system, and also detailed knowledge and understanding of structure of that system. But none of them could solve problem alone. ONLY THE INTERSECTION of these systems produced innovative thinking. The clash of these systems, impossibility of mapping one system onto another, is what often sparked INSIGHT - FLASH OF INSPIRATION that firstly defined gestalt of problem, and eventually led to it's solution. We believe that principles of OR can usefully be applied both within and outside commercial and institutional organisations which seek fresh input into their systems of management, operation and, especially, communication. Creativity The act of creativity by itself is rewarding for many people. No audience, sale or reward may be necessary. The act itself is self-rewarding. There are also many people who find act of thinking to be self-rewarding; who find stimulation in addressing concepts outside their everyday life and work. It is joy of unfettered exploration. Synergy Integrated Marketing is founded in that spirit of exploration - to bring together different creative disciplines and to discover resonances and dissonances between them. What Is It? Synergy Integrated Marketing represents many things: ombudsgroup, think-tank, concept exploration, simulation, OR. It will remain many-faceted because very nature of chaos facing us is that old boxes and linear flowcharts cannot serve us any longer. The world is ' fuzzy ' - not black and white. The world is becoming more complex, not less. When structure is collapsing - it's better not to be trapped in a box! The word ' architecure ' is a useful shortcut in conversation. That is why we invented names - as a shortcut. But what ' architecture ' is , is open to debate. There is more agreement on what ' architecture ' is NOT, than what it is.....
