Richard Tabor Greene’s Summary

I have developed perhaps the most comprehensive, practical curriculum in creativity applied to invention, discovery, design, and business venturing in the world--12 courses, tested with my Chinese and Japanese undergrads. I can sometimes transform passive East Asians into more bold innovative styles.

I am gradually redoing major design areas, putting them on a scientific research-able basis, by grounding them in my 60 models of creativity (see scribd.com for an article presenting all 60).

I want to establish a publishing-of-readings new industry of publishing, where classic and specialist readings of texts and related books on a topic area are published as works in their own right, getting around derivative work areas of copyright law by certain innovative treatments of topic ordering and naming.

I set up mass workshop events, such as my Invent Events in which sets of 200 people in 3 days generate 100 patents for a firm. These events are 40 or more workshops daily going on in parallel with each workshop making a different product, using procedures derived from world best experts, and the products combining to make powerful overall results.

I have invented a new technology of meeting, face to face and across electronic networks, called Social Automata, wherein excitement replaces boredom in meetings. It is based on using people as if processors in a parallel array of computers, assigning particular mental roles to them, and linking the roles in interesting topologies to maximize quality.

I have invented certain regularized fractal interfaces, one to replace all prose writing, another to replace web 2.0 browsers, another to replace current workgroup electronic cooperation topologies.

Structural cognition is a set of methods I have invented for allowing people to apply ordinary mental operators to 64 or 128 ideas, in the same time and with the same quality of outcome as they now apply those operators to 4 or 6 ideas.

Richard Tabor Greene’s Specialties:

About half my U of C MBAs said my classes were "life changing". I try to be an inspirational leader who distributes management functions using structured workshop events that get employees to apply management functions to themselves. I wrote methods books for educatedness, effectiveness, creativity, managing complexity, managing culture, managing self, managing cities, super selling, managing technological innovation, 45 models of innovation, 64 dynamics of hi tech ventures.

  THE LIBERAL ARTS OF BUSINESS
  Avoid global economic disasters ahead of time by mastering the deep ambiguities and delusions behind basic business concepts like “debt” and “profit” and “measures” and “performance” which business philosophy studies; study whole categories of perpetual business error via business history; see the emotional powers others shun or deny and master them via business comedy and literature study.

  May 2000 — May 2002 (2 years 1 month)

  Humans, arranged in arrays of certain shapes, in rhythmic time intervals perform assigned art generation, display, etc. operations to assigned canvasses, sculptures, etc. in an array among them. There are five automata in all: promotion, composition, display, artist array, and audience. Principles from brain science of visual, audio, video, gestural, etc. impact embedded in the operations the artists in each array perform and data from audiences of the art generation performances on how and the degree to which the art and particular aspects of it impacted them, allow scientific progress, in each social art automaton towards consistent generation of "great" works.

• Principal Researcher

  WebWOWS

  (Computer Software industry)

  April 1995 — April 1999 (4 years 1 month)

  GOAL: research improvements in Google
  MEANS: do what Google does not do:
  1) information has social class, ignored by link voting regimes
  2) information has total quality metrics, minimized by many search engines
  3) information has other quality indicators, being slighted today
  4) all people with names have social indexes and social indexing levels, not calculated by social web sites and search engines
  5) PLUS we need:
  to display regularized fractal indexes/displays/link topologies (not lists of lists),
  to offer questions tailored for/asked of search users to map contexts around search requests,
  to get votes from visitors to and visited sites, replacing Hadoop/MapReduce with current tech, virtual links replacing actual links "lean web" clickthrus.

• Lecturer in Quality Management

  University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business

  1992 — 1997 (5 years )

  Taught: Time Series up to Arima; Neural Net Time Series Estimators, Total Quality Processes for Forming Venture Technology Businesses, Re-engineering Research for Internet Speed, Transplanting Business Practices Across Cultures, Transplanting Leadership Practices Across Cultures;
  
  Research: Got 5 people in each of 63 strata of society, half global, half US, to nominate 54 orthogonal fields cutting across all traditional fields like medicine, business, law, psych, and determining who rises to their tops, then they nominated 150 for each of those 54 ortho fields that we interviewed for defining their ortho field of expertise: educatedness, effectiveness, creativity, error handling, complexity handling, culture handling, etc.

• Co-Founder: Qsoft Venture Spin-Off;

  Xerox PARC

  (Public Company; XRX; Computer Software industry)

  1988 — 1992 (4 years )

  Hired to save Baldrige Award application because IT had nothing to show examiners--I set up 40 high technology circles, and quickly caught examiner attention with 40 workgroups of ordinary employees learning artificial intelligence programming.
  
  Used total quality process to spec software for a Taguchi application, the result a front end and back end to competitor Taguchi applications (when they sold one of theirs I sold one of mine = effortless market dominance). I interviewed Genichi Taguchi in Japanese to extract his optimization strategies for the software.
  
  Founded the High Performance Work Center, the 1st presentation at Xerox PARC's first Document Symposium of top Xerox' 400 managers. This software automated work processes, both the in- meeting processes and the outside-of-meeting processes of work. It used structured conversations to capture process knowledge from ordinary employees and turned that into code automatically, the performance of which employees edited.

• totalizing & globalizing bodies of knowledge

  my independent quality research (Sole Proprietorship)

  (Sole Proprietorship; 1-10 employees; Computer Software industry)

  1978 — 1992 (14 years )

  Research questions:
  (1) TQM totalized a body of knowledge, quality knowledge, 33 ways; what other bodies of knowledge benefit from those totalizations?
  (2) Quality totalization (6 Sigma) was followed by 20 globalizations in Japan; what other bodies of knowledge benefit from globalizations?
  (3) TQM became THE theory of how to apply info tech to businesses; what do 33 totalizations & 20 globalizations do to software ventures & systems?
  (4) Just-in-Time leadership replaces fixed expensive inventories of managers, a social class, as a way to deliver leadership functions; how convert class means with event means to deliver these functions?
  (5) events replace processes which replaced departments; what is the optimal weave of e-mediated contact with event based contact?
  (6) discussions/meetings follow ancient habits, new social automata arrangements use people as if processors in fixed arrays--what social automata types outproduce traditional discussions/meetings the most?

• Founder, High Technology Circles Practice

  Coopers & Lybrand Consulting

  (Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; Management Consulting industry)

  1987 — 1988 (1 year )

  When I joined, people were selling two half million dollar each software AI projects to Wall Street firms a year for $1million average per partner in sales. These were large projects that did not come in in time and none were profitable. I fixed this immediately by selling 30 $100,000 each shorter simpler less risky projects to drug firms in New Jersey, then to Wall Street firms in Manhattan. I toured companies, interviewed managers, spotted 30 application AI could do, got volunteer workgroups to extract the needed knowledge, set up 4 hours of weekly training and two programming weeks where expert programmers put that knowledge into code. The result I sold two $3million projects my first year--six times the best previous sales by partners.

• Founder, Artificial Intelligence Workshop Fairs

  Electronic Data Systems

  (Public Company; HPQ; Information Technology and Services industry)

  1985 — 1986 (1 year )

  2000 sales persons had sold nothing to GM, EDS's largest customer (and owner) in 2 years. I was hired as programmer but I instead tackled the biggest problem my company had. I mitigated the rather militarist culture of EDS that was making sales fail and invented a Solution Culture, that was more feminine--listening not talking, admitting weakness not bragging, praising customer expertise not presenting only our own expertise, etc. We created one day mass workshop events of 30 GM engineers presenting possible AI project solutions to this year GM priorities in the morning, each matched by working software application demos from non-EDS companies in the afternoon. Remarks by viewing GM managers were transcribed and published to top 2000 managers of the GM division. Result, after 3 events, $16 million in software sales, the first sales by anyone other than Ross Perot. As a result the Chairman arranged US government further work for my group .

• Independent Consulting

  ADAPT

  (Privately Held; Telecommunications industry)

  1983 — 1986 (3 years )

  While studying for 3 grad degrees at U of Michigan I consulted when possible. Procter & Gamble heard a Yankee group presentation I made on Japan entering US markets and they were interested at me learning things from my years in Japan that their managers had not learned. I was hired to tell them how to keep Kao out of P&G's North American markets. I did a video, shown to some managers till the chairman of Kao bought Jerkins and stood on its front saying he would bury P&G in 20 years. That made my video popular with vice-chairman Laco who mandated that all see it. We took videos of P&G managers denying the message of a Japan threat, and that changed the culture and provoked P&G's initiative to wed systems with Walmart before Kao did that. I started the initiative to link systems with Walmart with my videos--I had a lot of help in doing that from P&G insiders.

• Fund raiser, Mass workshop Designer

  Institute of Cultural Affairs

  (Non-Profit; 1001-5000 employees; Philanthropy industry)

  1968 — 1976 (8 years )

  I asked Huston Smith (of Dalai Lama fame) at MIT for an organization "rebuilding Western civilization". He gave me a phone number in Framingham, Mass. I joined and visited 50 different North American cities each year, visiting the 20 richest families per city, raising funds, for three years. Then I designed workshop procedures for mass workshop events of 2000 people meeting in 200 parallel daily workshops for 30 consecutive days. I also set up participatory town meetings in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and parts of Europe. I doubled per capita income of Korea's poorest village by importing portable mowers that ended harvest suffering for 7 weeks/year of village women and cash income the thusly liberated women got caused envy in men which caused men to get interested in other development tactics.

• Fortran I, APL, Lisp 1.5 Programming Jobs

  3 high school summer holidays

  (Public Company; 5001-10,000 employees; Computer Software industry)

  1963 — 1966 (3 years )

  I developed software in Fortran I that binomially expanded the stress integrals of bridge design, keeping integer coefficients, and final integrated series were both simple and very accurate.
  I assisted an astronomer using WWII refractors on the Blue Ridge Mountains, by building a star identification program in APL that also built star maps plotting new star/galaxy/nebulae locations.
  A research scientist at a center across the street from my home, befriended me and gave me the LISP 1.5 manual from MIT when it arrived, telling me to learn it and use it to control a giant crystal growing machine he used--I built a program that did that.

• My Philosophy of Living

  the Educatedness Ideal

  (Higher Education industry)

  1960 — 1963 (3 years )

  1. If, knowing when and where someone was raised and educated, you can predict nothing at all about what he does, thinks, and believes, he is an educated man. 2. We grow, become "educated" by learning to "have" what we used to naturally "be"--opinions, gender styles, nationality, and other aspects of our born identities. For example, if I be what I was born, naturally and easily, I am somewhat un-trustable---too many liabilities of who and where I happened to be raised appear. We all learn to have what we were born as---having our gender, having our nationality, having our profession or social class---we learn to manage the virtues and liabilities of each aspect of who we were born to be. 3. There are at least 60 diverse models of what being creative is--actions taken to make yourself "more creative" if based on no particular model, undo more creation than they create.

Richard Tabor Greene’s Education

• University of Michigan

  Masters , Higher Ed: cyber/virtual organizations , 1983 — 1986

  The organizational psych and "emergent" management/leadership of web communities investigated using questionnaires, and interviews. Network theory results on the lumpiness of real human nets were applied to predict web community growth patterns.
  
  Levels of social indexing achieved by web communities compared to face-to-face events among the same people were investigated.
  
  Asked by a history of Japan professor to find 4 prefigurings of Meiji Japan in Tokugawa Japan I presented him, a week later, 566 prefigurings by applying industrial productivity methods to normal academic work. He and I noticed how industrial knowledge management methods immensely accelerated usual academic research and made it more comprehensive.

  1) filling in my vast ignorance of the world 2) participated in founding seminars of the Santa Fe Institute 3) participated in founding seminars of Michigan's work coordination research centers 4) did spot consults--object oriented programming (Brunswick), fractal interface designs (General Dynamics), automatic text authorship recognition (Langley), systems blending as preventative for Japan threats (Walmart and P&G merging systems).

• University of Michigan

  Masters , Asian Studies: Chinese/Japanese Business , 1983 — 1986

  Took a John Holland genetic algorithm course. Found that the Santa Fe Institute was being created and went there, participating in early symposia, learning complexity theory.
  
  Found in theories of history writing how contemporary frameworks greatly distort and limit amounts of historic reality available in history writings. We see the past through current concerns, concepts, biases. We project a story of what "went on then and there" rather than "perceiving" what went on then and there.

  Activities and Societies:

  I taught U of Michigan artificial intelligence course contents to community college students in Michigan, by teaching them Lotus 1-2-3 calculations, how to automate each calculation using macros, how to generalize macros using AI rulesets in macro language form. Result: my students matched U of MIchigan grad students using U of Michigan 1st-grad-course-in-AI exams. My students were too unsophisticated to know they were not supposed to be able to learn "advanced things" like AI.

• University of Michigan

  Doctoral PhD , Higher Ed: total quality re-engineering of research processes , 1983 — 1986

  I built a theory of total quality as "20+ totalizations of a body of knowledge--quality knowledgte" and a theory of higher education as knowledge production/deployment processes. Theory-predicted interactions between quality "totalization" (de-profession-alizing quality) and quality professionalization in the academy were made and compared with data from a Xerox-Carnegie-Mellon quality consult.
  
  My homework for the two masters degrees and this PhD was published as Global Quality, by McGraw Hill. Faculty at the University of Chicago who read the manuscript, pre-publication, called around offering me my first academic job, teaching at the Grad School of Business.

  Activities and Societies:

  Joined EDS and made first sale by non-chairman (by someone other than Ross Perot) to General Motors of advanced software systems--using AI Workshop Fairs I invented.

• Massachusetts Institute of Technology

  Bachelors of Science , Artificial Intelligence Programming and English Literature , 1967 — 1972

  Al Baisley, in the upper bunk bed of my dorm persuaded me not to fear Vietnam's banana attacks on global US interests, and that LISP was better than Cobol and PL1. Played in Project MAC's PDP filled basement with Conniver, Sail, and Lisp. Traveled to Stanford twice each year to buy books from their bookstore. Spent 2 years in physics, 2 years at Wellesley, and 1 year in English composition back at MIT--but learned artificial intelligence programming every week for 5 years.

  Activities and Societies:

  Joined non-profit ecumenical religious order re-engineering the world's poorest 104 urban neighborhoods and rural villages using Royal Bank of Canada micro-banking experiments (pre-dating Yunnus by 12 years)--junior year while completing my studies. Did zazen meditation 2 hours per morning my last two years. Did two years of cross-registration coursework at Wellesley to undo gender excesses in MIT's culture. Studied poetry under Robert Pinsky, W.H. Auden, and writing under Lillian Hellman.

• Wellesley College

  cross registered , Philosophy, Education, Literature, Writing, Poetry, Psych , 1968 — 1971

  I went to Wellesley to experience the different culture of a campus with many women and few men. I lived within a female culture quite different than MIT's getting insight into strengths of MIT's culture and into correctives for its weaknesses.
  
  Elizabeth Prettyman for Shakespeare, Robert Pinsky for poetry, W. H. Auden for poetry (visiting from Harvard), Lilian Helman for novel writing--these figures opened me to all of my own civilization and its traditions and literatures. I was in awe of them and of my own history as a result for decades.

  Activities and Societies:

  Performed in 12 of Shakespeare's plays held at campus venues. Became the first Wellesley student accepted for practice teaching at Weston Public Schools because Bruce MacDonald said "your spoken English is so beautiful". I developed metaphoric thought assessments based on Chinese and Turkish metaphors.
