Eventronics™

Eventronics™ is dedicated to helping organizations and individuals improve income growth, reduce expenses, and enhance the quality of life. Eventronics™ is also the study and application of Event Theory™ developed by Michael H. Spindelman (aka: The Flow Doctor) and founder of The Eventronics™ Institute.

So What The Heck is an Eventron™??

…and why are we studying them?

Introduction

To answer the question above, we need to use our imaginations to view the world first in a static mode, then in a dynamic one. When we see things statically, everything is motionless. Behavioral models frequently rely on this method to describe the world around us. You take a snapshot and evaluate what is in the picture. Take several snapshots in a row and you begin to describe dynamic motion.

We then use our imagination to apply predictable rules that can explain the change from one snapshot to the next. However, we must be careful to avoid claiming that all our understanding of what we see is complete. What is beyond the picture can be as important or even more so than what we see in our narrow focus. Sometimes our past experience can lead us to false interpretations or extrapolations from what we see in the picture.

Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge". He noted that knowledge is always changing. What we thought we knew gets disproved day after day. However, imagination is never fixed and always expanding. Knowledge and imagination will forever co-exist, but your perception of which is more important determines how you make use of these two ways of conceptualizing our world.

For example corporate leaders imagined great strides from continuous improvement. They got what they envisioned: great strides resulted from their efforts. However, this first wave of improvement systems was based on a model that valued data over the imagination that had engendered the systems. Thus a fundamental aspect shared by all corporate Improvement Initiatives today is a strong emphasis on "Data Filled Knowledge".

Stepping into the Einsteinian perspective, we at Eventronics reviewed what we knew about corporate improvement models. We allowed imaginational realms to have an important place along with data systems. Imagination-filled views opened a new world to us that data-filled realities had kept obscured to other pioneers. We saw a new model that combined data and imagination into a more precise description of the real world.

At Eventronics we view reality from a perspective of potential and kinetic forces and definable components that together describe cause and effect relationships. By using a better lens through which to view all elements of a system, we can methodically design improvement solutions that are more natural and meet with less resistance than their forebears.

To be effective, all models need a structure that defines reality. They must also be flexible enough to help us create alternative structures that can yield better outcomes. We have first and foremost discovered a model that accurately describes reality. This model explains why we have missed opportunities given the current orientation of our systems and how we can re-orient them and even create new ones to serve us better. That model is called EventFlow™ Theory.
