The Science of Informational Management

[rswanb...@telkomsa.net]

Members all

I have just joined the ScII and see little activity to date.

Maybe I can stimulate some for the immediate future.

My name is Russell Swanborough and I have been studying the subject of
information since 1976. First as a hobby and then as a profession. I
currently derive my income from the application of this research. It
is not directly associated with technology or IT in any way and I have
no software or hardware to sell.

My background is I/T (18 years) and management consulting (20+years)
with a focus on strategy, artificial intelligence and the application
of information in all circumstances, particularly in business.

I have developed a theory of information (ScIAM, see header) that has
application in all areas from biology to commerce. It is based on the
dimensions of information of which I have identified and numerically
assessed around 10 to date. It includes simplified decision making and
user needs analysis and can be used in all architectures (TOGAF,
information, business, application, etc...) and all re-engineering
initiatives, radical or incremental and has shown orders-of-magnitude
improvements where traditional approaches have achieved little. It
even allows calculation of benefits from the application of
information.

It enables 'Business Informational Re-engineering' for the first time.
(Because processes are based on the information that rationalised
them, and are thus secondary to the information primary, it is
irrational to re-engineer the secondary if the primary can be re-
engineered first. The results speak for themselves.)

ScIAM includes the identity of discrete laws of information and their
application and removes the traditional fuzz from the subject. I have
taken patents on the key principles and can now share them.

I would be happy to engage in colloquy on the subject.

Hi:

Thank you for your interesting post.

I was struck by the terminal sentence:

> I would be happy to engage in colloquy on the subject.

My dictionary defines "colloquy" as
"a gathering for discussion of theological questions."

While I am certain that this is not your intent, somehow this defines
seems to work in this case! :-)

Hi Jerry

Thanks for the response.

It is now 22h45 here after a long evening. I will get back to you
tomorrow...
