Timothy Wilken writes: I am pleased to announce the formation of  a new synergic organization, BIAS systems, which will offer consultations, training and support on a continuing basis to those individuals seeking to optimize the efficiency and productivity within their own organizations. Our primary tool will be the ORTEGRITY. Our intial product will be a “system of human organization that creates a conflict-free environment for decision making and action implementation”.  The power of the BIAS environment results from this conflict-free state. It is this conflict-free state that optimizes human intelligence and creativity. It is this conflict-free state that maximizes efficiency and productivity. It is this conflict-free state that increases the quality of work-life. It is the conflict-free state that allows all relationships between all members to become win-win.  (03/25/02)
