SICU
Affiliates Newsletter 28.12. 2006
DEAR ALL,
The
idea of this
newsletter
is to help
you to perceive some of the the opportunities SICU can offer, and to
arouse questions to be utilized in further development of
the concept, and
to prepare and plan for the new coming
year 2007. To become familiar with the latest definition of
SICU, please visit
www.sicusynergy.org.
Please
give your comments on how you would like to improve it.
 BREAK
THROUGH YEAR 2007
The SICU Synergy Solutions Group idea
& concept is today
globally
widely known,
as it has been actively communicated through the 12
globally
extensive
networks
I’m personally involved in, and through the SICU Networks
and Group Forums we have been working on for more than one
year. By this I look forward to that the coming year 2007
will be
” The Break Through Year”.
How well we are going to succeed depends naturally on all of
us - how actively we communicate with each other, and with
our interest groups, and how effectively we utilize the SICU
context
as a whole, and share new business ideas and opportunities with
each other in order to create, develop and execute new SICU
concepts, campaigns, projects and/or events in as many SICU
city and country as possible.
A GLOBAL
OPERATIONAL RESEARCH GROUP & THINK TANK
Operational
Research (OR) was a system devised during WW2 to solve
unique problems of technology, logistics and strategy. Radar
was one of the hundreds of answers to vaguely positioned but
urgent problems that OR produced.
 The principle of OR was that new circumstances required
innovative methodologies. An OR group was always a mixture
of different professional disciplines. A botanist, a
mathematician, a chemist, a psychologist, an astronomer -
each OR member brought to the group a discrete worldview or
logical system, and also detailed knowledge and
understanding of the structure of that system. But none of
them could solve the problem alone.
ONLY THE INTERSECTION of these systems produced innovative
thinking. The clash of these systems, the impossibility of
mapping one system onto another, is what often sparked the
INSIGHT - the FLASH OF INSPIRATION that firstly defined the
gestalt of the problem, and eventually led to its solution.
The idea
of OR can
usefully be applied both within and outside
any
commercial and institutional organisations (read:
SICU
clients), which seek fresh input into their systems of
management, operation,
and marketing
communication.
SICU can
easily be defined as an Operational Research Group & Think
tank both
globally and "glocally".
The
SICU
concept is designed to increase trust, interaction,
added
value
and multiplicative effects,
and cooperation between all parties involved,
and to offer an opportunity to form "glocal"
organisations and 'SICU
Service Cluster Teams'
in order to solve
problems and to fulfil the specific needs of
Individual
Customers
(Think Global, Act Local)
 BUILD-UP
YOUR OWN "GLOCAL" SICU ORGANISATION
As all
SICU affiliates and global partners are connected with each
other through the "SICU processor & head quarters" in
Helsinki, each "glocal" SICU affiliate have also an
opportunity to utilize the SICU affiliates programme
handbook (SICU POWER point), including the rights, benefits
and opportunities to build-up new "glocal" SICU Service
Cluster teams and Think tanks to support local, regional and
national activities and "pro-operations".
This is also the way each affiliate can generate
income by "glocal" membership fees, sponsorship packages,
affiliates programmes, web-sites, projects, events, monthly
meetings... among others.
SICU TODAY
Though I wasn’t able to restart to build-up the global SICU
organisation before October, I must say that we have come
into a very good start.
At this very moment we are 33 affiliates and global partners
representing internationally 24 countries. The newest SICU
affiliates represent
Singapore,
Athens,
Pakistan
(Karachi)
and
Christchurch,
New Zealand,
and there are more to come.
