With Confidence on an Upswing,
Mergers Make a Comeback - By PETER LATTMAN

latest megadeal being the Berkshire-led acquisition of Heinz.

In seeing this in the paper this morning, I am reminded
of PPF
In development, normally what happens is a perspective shift
that allows you to view a set of lower order actions in a
non-arbitrary way (which means they are that way for a
reason-->for a reason) and poof what happens is an insight
which you couldn't have "had" (or had you) before.
PPF is a way of seeing "poof" and there it happens.
You see when we fishbowl, our fishbowl expands in state, event
and path sequences, corresponding to fleeting, temporary and
permanence as space-time events for energy and information
(you might say dissipative structures...remember,
organizational closed (fishbowl), energetically open.
As our fishbowls go through expansion in whatever form, the
underlying assumptions change.
When these assumptions about reality shift, then what couldn't
have happened, happens, etc.
Example:
If you are looking at the world from the USA point of view,
you see a company like Heinz as selling a lot of Ketchup
(depending on how you spell it). What you don't see are all
the people who don't have a clue yet what Heinz Ketchup
is...and when there are a lot of those people who haven't a
clue and soon will, then what happens is the PPF changes.
In this case, we have 1.5 billion people getting ready to
discover Heinz Ketchup...and a whole lot of other shakin'
going on.
Why Heinz? Because they only know their local brand, they
don't know how rich and good and wonderful Heinz is
yet...because they haven't been told (advertising and
promotion drives wants, hehe)...and as soon as they are TOLD
what a great product Heinz Ketchup is, and btw, what a great
brand Heinz is for everything from Mayonnaise to vinegar,
Heinz has a new PPF.
If you look at the simple diagram:
You can see an expanding PPF and what happens when a fishbowl
gets bigger = taller, wider, deeper, etc.
As our world's (including investment) get "bigger, a new PPF
occurs.
Each fishbowl has a PPF--a "what's possible" suggested by it,
and within that set of assumptions is reality.
When you shift what's possible, you shift reality.
There is a whole lot of shakin' going on that our fishbowls
"ain't" going to see, and the reality of things are much
different than you believe. Those with the systems around them
to take notice will shift their reality before their
fishbowls...an interesting set of ideas-->just watch Berkshire
Hathaway for the lead patterns in finance and business for
clues.
This is a primary goal @BS and it works @F-L-O-W. |

Helpful Hint: The key to begin to understand is
how do I frame my fishbowl, what are my assumptions, my
reality and consequently my roots of happiness and success
requirements as a result. |

Action Step: Using an almost 2 decade old proven
format called the ISIS, we can easily identify our fishbowls
and fishbowls to be under our time clock of change-->our PPFs
emerge--and so does our reality. You can get a quick
walk-through of the ISIS here: www.f-l-o-w.com/ISIS to
identify your own PPF Fishbowl. |
