Mastering The Psychology of ATICS Project Analysis

This book culminates more than 35 years reflection about the value and power of Human Activity Systems (HAS) thinking to bring powerful ATICS Leadership opportunities to a global population. I originally conceived of this book during my consulting experience as the Chief Executive Officer of the Systems Management Institute. Adding people to an organization or transferring them out changes culture; imparting new knowledge changes culture. Changes in the structure, environment, or processes of a culture change that culture. The point here is that cultures are forever in flux. We cannot prevent a culture from evolving. But we can guide the direction of such inevitable change. This is Evolutionary Leadership, or Leadership by Design as I like to call it. Functioning as an Evolutionary Guidance System, an EGS, ATICS Program Leadership can guide the evolutionary unfolding of an ATICS organization. In precisely this way, ATICS Leaders guide the evolution of an each of their teams Transformation from one state of culture to another. This is the best anyone can do. Think about it. ─ Dr. Raymond Leslie Newkirk
