100 posal thought principles
Par Eric D. le mardi, juillet 19 2016, 19:22 - Lien permanent
1. The posal schema deals with the simple or complex interactions between subjects, projects, trajects and objects, in downward and upward directions, and what matters is knowledge of the level at which problems are barriers to individual goals, prior to the implementation of a resolution strategy.
2. Posal thought is a way of thinking that is focused on individuals, individual interests and the will to pose the question of self-affirmation throughout the world, all the more so when this world tends to favor the collective dimension regardless of legitimate individual rights.
3. The psycho-legal axis complements the posal schema and is a result of the union of an awareness of one’s own interests, an awareness of the interests of others and the need to preserve a lawful order, in addition to negotiation, to defend the rights of all.
4. In terms of priorities, conditions chronologically precede purposes and can, as key elements of action, fall into two principal categories: fundamentals of existence (family, supplemented by true friends) and means (financial and material resources), seeking, on the one hand, to meet basic needs and, on the other, to preserve tranquility, with health as a transition, in such a way that these purposes, at the end of the action, can’t be established from a collective point of view if we use, not a pyramid structure directed at obtaining recognition as a baseline, but simply the desire to live to ourselves and to the persons of our choice through the building of a private, exclusive and protected space.
5. Posal thought, which is non-intrusive out of respect for individuals and for their privacy, tries to study the way subjects are doing in relationship to issues concerning public life, primarily the world of work, and tends to define these subjects as economic, professional, rational and emotional agents, offering an opportunity to reinterpret the body of business psychology and personal development but also, where necessary, different philosophical approaches (rationalism, criticism, idealism, existentialism, etc.), psychological approaches (phenomenology, psychoanalysis, behaviorism, cognitivism, etc.) and approaches that fall midway between psychology and entrepreneurship (neurolinguistics programming, transactional analysis, etc.), not for the purpose to go into treatment or for the purpose to be a master in this respect, but for the purpose to be partly, selectively, combinatorically and wisely inspired by it, in order to define, in addition to subjects (actantial dimension), the other elements of the posal schema: projects (voluntary dimension), trajects (methodological dimension) and objects (venal dimension).
6. The first level of understanding of four fundamental questions about the posal schema (who we will be, what can be done, how to do this and how much can we make) is obvious; for example, it’s obvious that people wishing to belong to sales occupations in order to denounce the injustices of the business world by committing improper acts in their workplace and wanting to make more money than their boss are jokers, agitators or mad people, and that their posal schema is outside conditions, leaving them with no choice but to continue to be jokers, agitators or mad people, or to reformulate their proposal (belonging to sales occupations in order to attract customers by using selling methods and receiving compensation such as commissions or a salary agreed upon with the management when a sale occurs), as a result of which, in case of problems, we have to set them to better address them by working on a remarkable aspect or making a number of points (do the problems come from a wrong idea of sales occupations that are perceived as unnecessarily creative)?
7. Among the limitations of the posal method, it should be noted that, both in concept and in practice, the flexibility of posal analysts is even more limited by the fact that the problems faced by the professionals involved relate to precise engineering to a greater extent: at first glance, the emphasis on psychology takes us further away from detailed and thorough knowledge of the particular trade, its context and situation, and so there’s the idea that clients can choose to examine themselves, or that they can choose to encourage dialog and true exchanges between professionals, as it’s true that, when people are good at one thing at the end of the day, that skill can be deployed to involve different trades.
8. Following their experience and in view of their psychological development, professionals develop an increasing capacity to provide leadership to teams when they realize that they’re always marketing themselves and that they spend their lives negotiating, to the point that there’s no basic difference between subordinates, colleagues, superiors and clients, in that they can expect professional treatment.
9. Although apparently aimed at an adult audience, posal thought would have, however, pedagogical applications at school, in addition to the priority given to businesses: focusing on individual rights, it would be based on citizenship education to help understand child-friendly legal notions, with writing exercises, role plays or elections; teaching economics would be introduced into the education system at an early stage, in conjunction with mathematics; front teaching approaches, constructivist approaches, self-study and working groups would be used sequentially, as well as leaving the working method as an option; it would be an opportunity for the renewal of the dialog between teachers and pupils, parents and children, because evidence suggests that the posal schema can be simple or complex.
10. Psychological interactions, as in the case of a temporary project team within a company, correspond to a posal hyper-schema, adding arrows between various schemas when it isn’t only one schema representing the team from a holistic or systemic point of view.
11. According to whether the businesses are commercial, advertising, financial, security, war-related, administrative, white collar, sport-related, creative, science, medical, educational, technical, technological, traditional, agricultural, environmental, manual, service or personal assistance activities, there’s evidence that questions about the status of subjects and their aspirations in professional life always require special attention, consistent with every single area of activity as well as with the companies and individuals involved, although what all professionals have in common is their desire to make profit and therefore the need for selling themselves in one way or another.
12. Posal thought is primarily developed by professionals for the professionals, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t expand it to include voluntary activities, sometimes resulting in concerns similar to those that are met in the framework of paid activities.
13. Even if the best way was to live in a world without stock markets, financial speculation, economic wars, military wars, arms industries and polluting industries, a moment always comes when idealism must be limited and room must be created for pragmatism, so that there’s every interest in, in accordance with the law, buying or selling shares on the stock exchange, behaving combatively and exploiting natural resources.
14. Posal thought is neither humanism nor philanthropy, and it has nothing to do with brotherhood; that’s why generalized and systematized class collaboration has no place in it, because posal thought is universal and legal individualism, which has the merit of clearly rejecting harassment, lynching, torture and degrading initiatory rites, insofar as the concept of individuality involves a dimension that goes beyond the concept of humanity, a fortiori in cases in which human beings harass, torture and degrade other human beings, and by doing so posal thought intends to interpret and integrate the Nietzschean desire to look at more than just humanity.
15. Posal thought isn’t humanism, but it strongly condemns racism and anti-Semitism, while respecting freedom of worship, always in the name of respect for individuals, for their collective past, for their ethnic background and for their freedom of opinion.
16. Sometimes the professional world is forced to affect the population as a whole out of realism, going against the principles of civil solidarity and ecology, together with the duty to throw thousands of people out of work and exhaust the all resources of the planet but, paradoxically, the general respect for life remains a civic and ecological duty on an individual level.
17. The survival of individuals in an industrial, post-industrial, service economy and computerized environment increasingly depends on the ability to join networks, but not all the networks are the same and posal subjects must exclude brotherhood and promote purely professional networks, centered on business culture, employment opportunities and the desire to make profit.
18. As a materialist, rational and pragmatic view, posal thought rejects esotericism and occultism of any kind, in order to ensure efficient communication and encourage individuals to travel light throughout their lives, freed of cumbersome cultural symbols, obsessive rumination and charlatans who think of themselves as masters.
19. To further combat esotericism within the company, we need to understand its power of attraction, which has a playful, recreational and relaxing dimension in a stressful and tiring environment, hence the interest to consider the possibility of developing games intended to promote the use of the posal method: questionnaires, role plays, games for people who enjoy simulation, strategy games.
20. In addition to the playful promotion of the posal method, which as we have seen can take various forms, this method and its practical application would be based first on three main types of approach: self-analysis, face-to-face interviews and working groups, possibly with a venal dimension, for example in the case of private consultants.
21. The levels of interpretation of the posal schema, beyond the evidence of the first level, always involve some research and some thinking going into it, which isn’t easy and must be seen in context, depending on the motivation and availability of subjects.
22. Posal development, which is both professional and personal, doesn’t necessarily mean a long-term relationship between analysts and clients, but offers instead rounds of two interviews that are renewable by common agreement: a psycho-professional examination session related to circumstances experienced by clients, and an attempt at trying to answer questions as a result of targeted research (various theoretical/prescriptive, practical/descriptive or legal documents).
23. The professionalization of posal analysis will have to rely on the laws in force in the country concerned and comply with these laws, through the integration of the method into psychology in the workplace in office settings, consultations, professional development, commercial management and workplace training.
24. The posal method isn’t a medical approach, nor is it therapy, nor a psychoanalysis, nor official procedure, and as such it’s by no means intended to demand a position for which we should give credit to medical or legal professionals, this method being limited in principle to the fields of development, training and the creation of pathways between those two.
25. Doctors, psychoanalysts and lawyers can take the posal method as their guide in their daily practice, but their relationship with people’s privacy is already something of a break with posal thought, thus they never will become posal analysts, in contrast to some work psychologists, teachers or sales managers, which amounts to saying that the occupations just mentioned are only examples and, more broadly, that some professions are able to use fully the posal method, while others can only partially serve this objective.
26. The diversity of professions and individual aspirations brings balance to the posal method at the outset, showing a willingness to adapt naturally to the different profiles when it comes to moving from bank employees to medical staff, or from international staff to office workers, and this pragmatic and realistic approach will have every interest in working with various qualities such as probity, altruism, flexibility or love for roots or adopted countries whenever possible and desirable, when harmony and mutual respect create a climate of sympathy.
27. Posing the question of self-affirmation includes adopting a very diplomatic attitude, as each and every one of us faces the world as it is at the same time one is a danger for others (we’re all projectiles thrown at others): firstly, real-world aggression has been illustrated many times over and therefore we have to reduce it; secondly, although efforts should be continued to achieve results, we sometimes have no alternative but to wait; thirdly, conflicts and professional relationships that are broken are the extreme limits of posal thought, without using means such as insults, threats or acts of violence, but simply and irreversibly disagreeing, before leaving or prosecuting cases when appropriate.
28. The aim is to take an inventory of what subjects can accomplish in terms of working on oneself, learning to know, learning to do and learning to be (which are the pillars of the concept of competence as defined by psychology) to prove their good will and find their way in a working environment where they can make a living without being deprived of their rights or their dignity, and if they believe that they have undertaken substantial efforts without getting a well-deserved reward in return, they shall have the right to show their discontent without using means such as uncivil behavior, infractions and crimes, as a result of which, in view of the other’s party refusal to change its policy, they will be leaving or prosecuting cases: that’s the meaning of the use of professional relationships that are broken and conflicts for legitimate reasons.
29. Personal, affective or intimate relationships must remain appropriate to each one and, when natural affinities are totally absent, only profitability can justify direct contact between agents who don’t like to meet because, apart from contractual and lucrative obligations, public life is impersonal to the extent that the law allows citizens to remain distant when, off the job, in some instances they choose to ignore one another.
30. Every system is fallible because every system is already a flaw in a larger system, so we live or survive in a world in crisis, where the most successful individuals tackle their own paradoxes (such as having compassion for the weakness of innocent victims and despising the weakness of those blindly following imposed rules, while blaming the strength of torturers and admiring the strength of talented and hardworking predators), the paradoxes of the world and the paradoxes relating to the struggle between the paradoxes of individuals and the paradoxes of the world, where posal thought is only one of many paradoxes, as well as a fallible and imperfect system, improving thanks to empirical experience, errors, failures and serendipity: we don’t take our support on the possible perfection of a strong system, we take our support on the more or less strong aspects of an imperfect system to reach out, contrary to expectations, toward impossible perfection.
31. If something goes wrong in terms of relations, rejects correspond to the fifth element of the posal schema, whose elements known as subjects, projects, trajects and objects interconnected via arrows are crossed out, circumscribed by a circle and surmounted by the fifth term in question.
32. Rejects rely on self-mastery skills to which they remain more or less faithful through limited proximity and, when one goes away from these self-mastery skills, this increases the risk of confusion between impulses, stress situations and collective determinisms.
33. As regards rejects, the posal method recommends not going away from self-mastery skills beyond critical limits: one must avoid using means such as insults, threats, violations of privacy, slander and physical violence because, in addition to their incivility and illegality, those excesses are known to turn against those responsible and criminalize them.
34. Legitimate rejects allow people to express, in a civilized and lawful manner (but being likely to create further tensions), a sense of fatigue and anger in a collective context that shows signs of malfunctioning, and the other party can do nothing here, apart from the fact that the agents involved must tender their resignation.
35. In addition to an assessment of the balance of power that gives us a sense of what the outcome of a trial might be, the choice to leave without any action or to initiate proceedings is linked to this simple question: would the defeat of the other party be lucrative enough to be worth the effort?
36. The posal method isn’t for charity and posal subjects have no interest in forgetting and forgiving the faults of others, so it’s a condition that wrongdoers recognize their faults, apologize, pay for the damage and promise they won’t do it again.
37. The posal method is a warpath approach, even if it’s litigious and civilized war but, if it isn’t possible to defeat the enemy by legal means, the only thing to do is to condemn the enemy from the start and, in this perspective, taking care of oneself by continuing to benefit one’s own business interest is the best way to obtain vengeance.
38. The profound significance of rejects is inspired by business, the very pillar of a civilization: being a diplomat in addition to being a warrior, the negotiator who leaves a relationship walks away from bargaining table, abandoning a project of civilization that wouldn’t have been lucrative enough and showing that it’s impossible to make things more civilized without a strong economy.
39. Posal subjects tend to reject impoliteness, as their hyper-diplomatic attitude invites reciprocity as well as a blend of politeness and respect, corresponding to an improved form of politeness, which is always justified by an intelligent approach that is directed to protect the dignity of all, in a declining civilization marked by a need to defend good practice, while at the same time ensuring that the creation of wealth can be entrusted to the economy, in order to change direction.
40. Looking beyond the trend away from impoliteness, the refocus from triviality, as triviality is deemed to be a form of open-ended familiarity, represents the willingness to remain rigorous, consistent, honest and professional, for communication that always has to be balanced between politeness, friendliness and efficiency, in keeping with the standards of customer service.
41. Given the profile of customers, which is characterized by humor or formal requirements, marketing and sales involve addressing these differences to explain various changes of attitude, and enhancing the capacity to suit the individual needs of customers helps reduce the risk of professional relationships that could be broken.
42. In the instances when salespeople aren’t with customers and yet are as good with colleagues, counterparts, team leaders and directors as with customers in their own rights, in addition to creating favorable conditions for career advancement in management, salespeople are better equipped to deal with rejects, other than simply enhancing the capacity to suit the individual needs of customers.
43. As far as possible, true professionals intend to delay professional relationships that could be broken and conflicts, wanting to ensure that it never happens and, to that end, the posal method proposes a strategy that basically combines three essential features: remaining true to self-mastery skills (a stimulating mental picture and an obligation to be always civilized and law-abiding), enhancing one’s ability to become more relevant to the outside world and showing one means business both with and without customers.
44. Conflicts are commonplace from a business point of view and on a broader level, therefore it’s better to try to stay calm, stand back, reflect on the seriousness of conflicts, converse with others, find a solution and start fresh by benefitting from the experience.
45. Rejecting the posal schema is in principle equal to creating conflicts and professional relationships that could be broken without a possible way back, and this only makes sense if serious problems arise, for example when it comes to calling into question some of the essential cornerstones of the institution’s policies (and we should make no mistake about it: it’s right to point out that there exists a level of dissatisfaction with unacceptable working conditions but, generally, leaders aren’t particularly eager to reconsider their position, as bad as it is, to respond to the demands of workers), or in the case of workplace disputes that are the subjects of legal proceedings, or in comparable situations in terms of points of no return.
46. Global economic imbalances mean that professional and personal development pursuits, like economic, psychological and philosophical schools of thought, tend to be in the wealthiest countries: viewing professional relationships that could be broken, rejects and conflicts as free and informed decisions in poor countries affected by slavery is very difficult if not impossible, because then they have to experience fear, terror, rampant corruption, organized crime, dead threats and the weak police force (always supposing the latter isn’t complicit in this sort of activity), and this represents a significant challenge for attempts to improve working conditions through the efforts of individuals, the posal method being no exception from that point of view.
47. Even in countries with an economic and cultural situation that is conducive to the establishment of a method such as the posal method, it’s a difficult task, however, to overcome the obstacle created by lower but persistent poverty, the inertia of the collective dimension and personal reserves.
48. In view of the critical state of the world affecting the global community (including billionaires, who aren’t immune to disasters, accidents or serious diseases), all professionals worthy of the name can remember times in their lives when they were no longer convinced that what they were doing was useful and when they wanted to drop everything, even though everyone has experienced fatigue at one time or another: those who claim that all should always go well are liars, and workers progress in work when they stop the acting and are realistic, provided that realism is eventually matched by a desire to continue anyway.
49. In the eyes of commercial agents, there are at least two significant psychological barriers, which form the backdrop to their work life despite years and decades of experience: agreeing to set themselves a concrete objective based on precise figures in an uncertain environment, and moving beyond the notion, sometimes coming back to haunt sales representatives, that they wish to engage in a salaried profession at all costs, which will remain a utopian ideal in direct sales networks, as can also be seen by ascending to a management position in sales, finance or entrepreneurship because, before one talks specifically about salaried professions, one has to try to make a return on the cost to make a production.
50. Sometimes all the conditions are present for the emergence of rejects, conflicts and professional relationships that could be broken: low salaries, poor working conditions, harassment, over-work and tiredness, resulting in a system where workers, furthermore, don’t even ask themselves whether rejects are under control or not, except with regard to the red lines that shouldn’t be crossed from a civil and legal point of view, corresponding to self-mastery skills, but the world is in a very bad state and, every day in all areas, some of them cross these red lines, even when they know that it’s better to lose a job or a contract rather than risk a fine or imprisonment on top of everything else.
51. Deleted rejects represent both impossibilities and possibilities: it’s impossible to get back to a point where there were rejects that were expressed clearly, or it’s possible to guard against something like this happening, since prevention is better than cure, and deleted rejects would be comparable to relevant aspects of the collective nature of the posal schema, which is numbered according to the staff concerned.
52. When someone wants to join a working group, one of the first things that should be done is to reject all attempts to be boastful and manifesting a lack of trust, in order to minimize the risk of rejects: the right balance needs to be struck between self-esteem and humility, by promoting mutual trust and communication in a friendly atmosphere.
53. Entering the business world, and we can compare it to bargaining situations, requires self-knowledge, knowledge of others’ needs as part of a contract (businesses, employers, team managers, subordinates, coworkers, colleagues, competitors, partners, suppliers, investors and costumers), knowledge of power dimensions (money, time and information) and knowledge of room for maneuver as regards making concessions to change positions in case of need.
54. When more experienced team members are boastful and manifest a lack of trust in the presence of new team members, this probably signals relationship problems and the return of memories about past conflicts that new members don’t know about, and they have to take a smart approach to dealing with this issue, take time to do it right and be patient, diplomatic and sincerely interested in how the team will help them find solutions in terms of learning.
55. Immediately after first steps in business (modesty, questions and understanding, which should be maintained in future), persistent areas of concern are also a useful way to identify and locate them under the terms of the posal schema.
56. The downward direction from subjects to projects provides a link between occupational status and work activity representations on the basis of subjects’ requirements, while the upward direction from projects to subjects provides a link between work activity and occupational status representations on the basis of projects’ requirements.
57. The downward direction from subjects to trajects provides a link between occupational status and method representations on the basis of subjects’ requirements, while the upward direction from trajects to subjects provides a link between method and occupational status representations on the basis of trajects’ requirements.
58. The downward direction from subjects to objects provides a link between occupational status and money representations on the basis of subjects’ requirements, while the upward direction from objects to subjects provides a link between money and occupational status representations on the basis of objects’ requirements.
59. The logical relationships between subjects and projects, projects and subjects, subjects and trajects, trajects and subjects, subjects and objects, objects and subjects are further reflected in the logical relationships between projects and trajects, trajects and projects, projects and objects, objects and projects, trajects and objects, objects and trajects, while rejects, as seen previously, are of a global nature when that happens.
60. The posal method, when clients meet analysts for the first time, requires first of all that analysts ask clients, if they wish to answer, how they view: their status, their function within the organization and in the labor market; their activity, what they’re supposed to do; their method, how they have to get this done; their salary, the money they earn; and, with that in mind, their personal information and their employment contracts are, indirectly, valuable tools, by translating them into terms that respect the privacy of clients and confidentiality clause as far as the company is concerned, which is a major challenge in terms of balance as an essential part of the job of a posal analyst, who is committed to allow the use of psychological and professional expressions, deducting information.
61. It was clarified that the key point is the way agents understand, think about or perceive various aspects of their working lives, and that posal analyses cover representations.
62. Representations can be defined as partial, indirect and more or less distorted impressions made by things, situations or events as memory or physical traces and, to this end, emphasizing the fact that posal analyses cover representations while helping agents to have a more favorable view of their working life implies a relationship between the latter and representations, into a performative, cross-functional and constructionist process.
63. Representations, which are indirect as traces and direct as means of action, define the performative meaning of the posal method as a discourse that is in position to act on psychological and professional frameworks, even if psychic phenomena aren’t scientifically observable and posal analyses are carried out in a framework going beyond the professional realm.
64. The posal method is cross-functional because it provides a reconciliation between sales material and linguistics by taking account of three main aspects: pragmatics, rhetoric and narratology (and it’s for this reason that the term "actantial" was used to define subjects), which highlights an effective connection between literary studies and commercial experience.
65. The posal method is constructionist because it leads subjects to take change of their own career, allowing the connection between constructionism and the ethical requirement to respect individuals: businesses have the right to dismiss agents but they mustn’t humiliate them, and ultimately this is an etho-constructionist lesson for all forms of collective organization.
66. It’s by building on fundamental knowledge and teaching methods that etho-constructionism would develop strategies to undertake teaching while putting a stop to the dishonest practices of teachers who, by sanctioning collective constructionism, praise themselves and devalue their audience; instead of wanting to get students involved, denigrate their efforts and say that teachers are the possessors of the truth, we would rather go right to the key answer and constructionism would be another approach, where students would try to describe, in their own words and their own way, how accurate representations are likely to appear to them as such, through various methods in relation to the organization of the classroom (individually and collectively), without making judgements publicly on the answers given by students.
67. Collective constructionism exists not only in schools, but also in adult education organizations, where it has to be replaced, as well as in schools, by etho-constructionism respecting individuals.
68. In its form aimed at adults, etho-constructionism, as a learning method advocated by posal thought, would never require participating orally, with the exception of well-prepared presentations for timely assessments, and would invite candidates to allow for personal reflection being based on accurate representations, with the possibility to conduct their own searches previously, making it more like flipped classrooms than like constructionism in general.
69. The fundamental difference between psychological peculiarities of children and psychological peculiarities of adults lies in the fact that adults define themselves as having a compartmentalized mind, with capacity to make choices being balanced by the sense of responsibility, culminating in professionalization that can be seen as an essential priority, which is the privileged area of posal thought.
70. Competent and honest workers who comply with the laws, stand up for their rights, do their duties and want higher wages are the nightmare of bad managers, but the reverse is also true.
71. The posal hyper-schema is a representation of team work, replacing each individual posal schema with simplified terms having the form "posal", which is numbered, and reciprocal arrows linking terms, the whole surrounded by a circle under the title "question", which is also numbered, in the latter case, according to the problem in focus.
72. The ultimate posal schema retains the posal schema, but replacing the term "posal" with the term "question", helping to highlight a number of key problems from a collective point of view, and the circle disappears.
73. In the case of the reversed posal hyper-schema, contrary to the ultimate posal schema, the circle doesn’t disappear: each numbered term "question" is linked via reciprocal arrows to the other terms, the whole being under the title "posal", which is numbered according to the agent concerned, helping to highlight a number of key problems from an individual point of view.
74. Posal thought doesn’t recommend that one goes beyond the ultimate posal schema, nor does it recommend that more than four terms are used for each schema, because it isn’t about making the system more complicated, but mainly about staying close to individuals.
75. Taking the example of a team consisting of sixteen members, relationships are systematically investigated four by four, which explains why there may be, where necessary, a posal hyper-schema involving posal 1, posal 3, posal 10 and posal 15 among other hyper-schemas.
76. Taking the example of a project raising sixteen questions, relationships are systematically investigated four by four, which explains why there may be, where necessary, a reversed posal hyper-schema involving question 1, question 3, question 10 or question 15 among other reversed posal hyper-schemas, and this same logic should be extended to the ultimate posal schema.
77. It can be said that individuals aren’t numbers, in which case numbered posal terms should be replaced with family names, first names or function designations within a given project.
78. Posal thought defines the number 4 as the number of limited complexity, 1 being that of unity, 2 that of duality, 3 that of the early stage of plurality and 4 that of the early stage of plurality + 1.
79. The downward direction from posal 1 to posal 2 provides a link between how posal 1 views questions and how posal 2 views questions on the basis of posal 1’s requirements, while the upward direction from posal 2 to posal 1 provides a link between how posal 2 views questions and how posal 1 views question on the basis of posal 2’s requirements.
80. The downward direction from question 1 to question 2 provides a link between one’s assessment of question 1 and one’s assessment of question 2 on the basis of question 1’s requirements from an individual or collective point of view (according to whether it’s a reversed posal hyper-schema or an ultimate posal schema), while the upward direction from question 2 to question 1 provides a link between one’s assessment of question 2 and one’s assessment of question 1 on the basis of question 2’s requirements from an individual or collective point of view, but the term "requirements" may have different meanings, because for posal subjects it’s intentional, while for projects, trajects, objects and questions it’s more, on the contrary, of a technical issue.
81. Methodologically, there’s no a priori reason to choose one opinion over the other as to whether reversed posal hyper-schemas or ultimate posal schemas should take over from posal hyper-schemas: that would depend so much upon the nature of the issues, contexts, situations and individual or collective demands.
82. The introduction of a posal meta-schema, whose elements, of which there are four, would be a posal schema, a posal hyper-schema, a reversed posal hyper-schema and an ultimate posal schema, could be used to determine the appropriate procedure from a methodological point of view, on the basis of information collected by individuals and groups.
83. Time constraints and efficiency requirements for businesses tend to get posal questioning down to its simplest form in view of the need to make immediate decisions and, in this respect, the posal method echoes the conclusions of cognitive psychology and behavioral economics about the use of essential and contextual elements in the light of past experience, when it’s about quickly choosing a solution.
84. The relative simplicity of the posal schema brings agents nearer to their practical concerns, while the relative complexity of the ultimate posal schema is better suited to a theoretical reflection, usually when this allows them to utilize their experience and sit back but, overall, links between reflection and action are a legitimate purpose and the hope for other goals.
85. Paradoxically, simplicity and practical aspects in their relationship with complexity and theoretical aspects are sometimes the result of having an individual view on issues, insofar as the ultimate posal schema meets collective needs better than the posal schema, but it’s individuals who make decisions when there’s a trend in favor of adopting a posal approach, even if decisions can’t, as a matter of principle, go against the execution policy of the firm.
86. Individuals discover what specific type of psycho-technical problems they’re facing in their professional lives and how they can solve them, going their own ways learning in problem solving from a collective point of view, yet community life brings elements of a response to the questions individuals face: reciprocal relationships introduce unpredictability, which is why it’s difficult to address the issue of availability of reliable information on behavior, so all scientific or non-scientific subjects except mathematics raise doubts and create uncertainties.
87. As far as practicable, posal terms simply summarize all answers received depending on the conclusions reached from individual posal analyses, following which hyper-posal analyses detect any inconsistencies and incompatibilities in the struggle between posal schemas, in order to encourage agents to agree on an overall solution, unless the project leader has a clear idea of the approach to be adopted to achieve this.
88. In addition to doubts, developments in technology show that solutions create new problems, which is why the posal method would also try to deal with doubts and problems in absence of being able to resolve those.
89. Posal 0 and question 0 are working hypotheses agents will use when it comes to being proactive on issues, and these working hypotheses will always be subject to new definitions when necessary.
90. The meta-posal method comprises not only the meta-posal schema: the intent is to stand back from the posal method by carrying out a posal analysis of the posal method, which is the same as saying that we look at who "treats" the "doctor", to put it in metaphorical terms.
91. The alter-posal schema is concerned with the dual dimension of subjects, projects, trajects and objects, the terms of the schema being complemented by the terms "ego versus alter-ego", referring both to harmony/empathy and rifts/conflicts; for the sake of convenience, the terms "alter-subject", "alter-project", "alter-traject" and "alter-object" will be used.
92. Posal schemas in some cases are nothing more than the result of rejects; that’s why posal thought incorporates the principle of rifts/conflicts in the posal anti-schema.
93. The duality of a schema occurs when individuals are caught in a dilemma, or when, for example, a man and a woman who are married are involved in a business and, in the event of divorce, give away private information, facing a conflict of interest where previously they worked together toward a common goal and shared a single posal schema.
94. Attempts to resolve or manage alter-posal problems mean above all not taking into account, as far as possible, private information, in order to be still preoccupied with work, before providing a list of the coherent elements that are still there: if it’s enough, then an agreement is reached; otherwise, the conditions under which a former partner is no longer part of the business are defined.
95. Posal thought encourages people to be still preoccupied with work or their employment search as far as possible.
96. Alter-posal schemas are posal schemas that lost some elements in terms of internal consistency.
97. In addition to relationship and existential problems, alter-posal schemas open the door to agents’ representations of other agents’ posal schemas: sometimes it’s when we confront points of view that we reach beyond the stage of misunderstandings and accusations.
98. In addition to problems and representations, alter-posal schemas propose an alternative plan in situations where agents’ posal schemas, which present themselves as first proposed options, aren’t effective.
99. It is important for posal thought to benefit from experience, vocational training, general culture, language learning, science, philosophy and emotional intelligence, as well as from the sense of being relational, methods of management, money management and the work on oneself (physical health, mental health, personal hygiene, lifestyle, appearance, charisma, eloquence, oral proficiency, technical skills and resourcefulness), because that surely would determine the degree of relevance of its various aspects.
100. Once we have the foundations and theoretical ideas right, future improvements result from field experience.
