Applying Quantum Principles to Improve the Probability of Success in Organizations
with Joel McGinley
Overview
Are traditional social science methods incapable of dealing with the complex and indeterminant problems facing management today? It is not so much the wedding of scientific logic and method to management theory and practice that is problematic as it is the outdated models of scientific inquiry that slow our progress. The new sciences of chaos and quantum theory offer valuable metaphors and methods that can challenge management research agenda into the next century. Quantum mechanics as applied to management provides a new logic of complementarity, constructivism, and participatory collusion in organizations and management. The quantum methods outlined and applied are Heisenberg's principle of indeterminism and Born's rules of probabilistic interpretation. Joel will discuss the metaphors and methods of quantum theory and how they may be applied to familiar management issues.
Attendees will come away with a deeper understanding of...
- How quantum principles can be applied to planning, and team development
- The importance of belief and focus
- How applying the Born Rule increases the probability of success
- How managers can apply these principles to increase the probability of success
