Examples that Inspired the Manifesto

Foundational

While the phone industry tried to re-invent the phone step by step, Steve Jobs ignored the common innovation processes. Instead of marginal improvements, he drove for going beyond the Tipping Point where it delivered what users really wanted.

In the Netherlands, a potato fungal disease (P. infestans) became resistant to chemical treatments. It threatened the country’s yearly harvest and added ever more unwanted substances to our food.

20,000 farmers, trade organisations, scientists, and government organisations were stuck in endless discussions and finger-pointing.

Potatoe

A combination of two old methods was brought in.

Results:

  • Finger-pointing quickly changed into listening and helping each other
  • After a few workshops, the project was up and running three months later
  • The project organization: 1.5 full-time employees only
  • Budget needs: tiny
  • Goals: Achieved quicker than planned

In one family and for seven different health matters, two Laws of Nature showed the way to highly effective treatments. Examples:

  • ADHD: Daily emotional outbursts disappeared for 17 years
  • Dyslexia: After simple interventions, learning to read happened within six weeks and 10-minute exercises per day 
  • Weeks of severe back pain: With signs of it coming again, a few 1-minute exercises are sufficient to prevent it

Many others found effective treatments after official Health Services gave up

Please help

Possibility: 

From exponential growth of problems in Health Services and their consequences to ‘Flatten-the-Curve’ of:

  • People suffering 
  • Costs of Health Services
  • Structural capacity bottlenecks
  • Violence and crime, jurisdiction and imprisonment from mental matters
  • Countries undermining their competitive positions

Practices which enabled Einstein, Newton and Darwin to make their discoveries are well known or visible to us. However, where are the research, innovation and decision-making processes applying them? 

In this Manifesto 

  • Highest-impact practices of Einstein, Newton and Darwin (no mathematics needed)
  • These practices confirmed and extended by an Einstein-Newton-Darwin scientist, Prof. Michael Fitzgerald
  • Various examples of how these practices were applied to make this Manifesto possible

Result

  • This Manifesto as applying Einstein-Newton-Darwin practices was one of the foundations making it possible

Pilot Project Applying Relevant Manifesto Elements

Intermediate

In a specific field of service management, known for high project failure rates since the 1990’s, applying relevant elements of the Manifesto led to the following results:

  • Lack of interest and resistance changed into interest, support and demand 
  • A structural reduction and prevention of bureaucracy and complexity by resolving it at its root cause
  • Delivered on time, without escalations and costly corrections
