Through the most powerful universal principles
that Buckminster Fuller discovered and utilized during his lifetime,
namely, Synergy, Precession, Ephemeral- ization, and
Acceleration of Acceleration, we can explain and predict some of
the quickly mutating, rich and most inclusive patterns of
behaviors operating throughout the universe and more specifically
the world of business and commerce. Learning and applying Bucky’s
principles enables us to move forward with extraordinary innovation,
creativity, speed and integrity.
Mastering these concepts and then enrolling
others in learning and applying these principles will facilitate our
understanding of how to:
- Forecast in a global arena;
- Manage the collision of markets;
- Integrate and align the interaction of complex systems and
organizations;
- Anticipate and ameliorate the negative impact of mergers and
other culturally disintegrating events;
- Intuitively drive the evolution of products and markets;
- Create an environment in which vast quantities of creative
ideas are generated;
- Manage employees in agile environments; and,
- Formulate and support teams that maximize their human
potential.
Because Fuller’s principles are both
inclusionary and cross-disciplinary in their applications, understanding them enables executives to better navigate the
seemingly chartless waters of complexity and constant change.
The Training
Armstrong and Wilson have joined to create
three business training workshops that use BUCKY as a
catalyst. Participants and their guests, spouses, etc., if desired,
first see the production, and then the participants attend a one or
two-day team building training or the one-day corporate creativity
seminar. The trainings and seminars are predominantly experiential,
and highly interactive exploring Bucky’s principles with models
and exercises that immerse participants the concepts thereby
transforming the way in which they look at the world, their lives,
and there abilities to make a significant difference in their
enterprises.
The culminating feature of the one or two-day
teambuilding is the construction of a geodesic dome on an elementary
school playground or other appropriate location of the sponsor’s
choice. The dome will provide the enterprise with community
recognition, if desired, and will remain, for the participants, as a
lasting artifact of the training, teambuilding and great learning
experience. Of course, as a contribution to the sponsor’s
community, the Dome will be forever a reminder to all of the
organization’s commitment to the local culture, schools or
population.
