We have to evolve means for obtaining energy from stores which are forever inexhaustible, to perfect methods which do not imply consumption and waste of any material whatever. 

Nikola Tesla

Human Energy.  The fuel that drives all human activity.  There are no exceptions. 

Synopsis

Energy is the fuel that drives the entire universe.  From sub atomic particles and molecules to planets, stars and galaxies.  From the energy of our own sun to all life on this planet.  From our feelings and thoughts to all our actions and behaviours, human energy drives our entire history on this 'speck of dust in a sunbeam.'

Fortunately human systems are open. They can gain or lose energy. They have access to an infinite supply of free energy.  This post combines the genius of Nikola Tesla with the GCIndex and Quanta's Human Energy Generator to convert this energy into productive kinetic energy in our lives and organisations.

Nikola Tesla on Human Energy and Human Systems

On Human Energy

Tesla, perhaps the greatest genius of our time, showed that human energy, the fuel that drives our civilization, is subject to the laws of physics.  There is no escape.

Just as force is the product of mass and acceleration, so human energy, or the potential 'force' of humanity, is the product of intelligent thinking and intelligent action, per unit of time.

If we stop to reflect on this for a moment, his concept is both simple and brilliant.  In a simple formula he has encapsulated the whole of homo sapiens in a nutshell.  Everything since the dawn of our time sits within his concept of human energy.

Nothing – and I repeat – nothing sits outside this framework.  (For readers of a more religious or spiritual persuasion – fear not.  The actual source of this energy remains a Socratic mystery.)

On Human Systems

Tesla recognized the notion of open and closed systems, and the dynamic nature of both energy and entropy.

According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, all systems, including human systems – think marriage for example – lose energy over time.  Due to the natural forces of entropy. (There are no perpetual motion machines for example.)

However the universe offers a beautiful antidote in the form of the universal evolutionary algorithm. This remarkable, even miraculous, piece of 'software' provides the capacity to both reverse entropy and evolve emergent complexity from simple building blocks.  (Try to picture yourself as a deconstructed pile of molecules and you will get the picture of emergence.)

Not convinced?  Think about cultural evolution.  Google started as a company and in grammatical terms, a noun.  Slowly people started to 'google things', and the word 'google' transmogrified through the evolutionary algorithm into a more complex verb.  This is precisely the method upon which all our politics, religions, economies, philosophies, technology, language, beliefs, values have emerged.  From simple to complex.  It's a natural and beautiful process.

The GCIndex on Measuring Human Potential Energy

It is important to remember that despite the fact that life itself is a pure manifestation of energy, we still have no clue – as Richard Feynman said – what it is.  But we know it is there.  And we apply different units of measurement for our different applications of energy such as electrical, chemical, gravity and for our application, human energy in organisations.

Of all the many instruments on the market to assess human potential energy we have selected the Game Changing Index.This is a relatively new instrument that is based on sound and structured evidence and operates in fifty-two counties.

Unlike other tools the GCIndex focuses exclusively on two key areas – thinking and acting, together with a level of energy in each area of preference or proclivity.

This means the GCIndex is the perfect marriage to the human energy logic of Tesla.

We use the powerful GCIndex for assessing the potential energy of all individuals, leaders and teams.

It makes the invisible, visible and forms the perfect Tesla foundation for our energy generator and Black Box.

Quanta's Black Box – The Human Energy Amplifier

Our Black Box methodology has been based on three decades of practical experience with thousands of leaders, teams and their organisations.

The human brain is a perfect example of a black box.  We know it's there, we know it works, but how it works remains largely unknown.

Quanta's Black Box is no different.  It has been designed using scientific principles linked to systems theory, the application of the universal evolutionary algorithm, and the reality of complexity emerging from simplicity – a reverse entropy process.

Essentially the Black Box merges potential energy of an individual or team, with new external energy.  The result is the creation of new higher energy and more intelligent behaviour, leading to a Tesla-framed solution of higher kinetic energy of individuals, teams and organisations.

Naturally the additional kinetic energy manifests in greater innovation, motivation, smarter thinking, smarter action and improved system competitiveness.

In summary.

The Quanta Black Box Method unleashes new behaviour and new levels of profitability.

A TYPICAL QUANTA BLACK BOX PROJECT

A typical Quanta Black Box Project includes the following integrated steps.  This applies to individuals, teams and organisations.

The strategic objective is always to increase system energy and measured performance.

• Measure current levels of potential energy.
• Set a new time-linked system energy target.
• Identify key system performance elements that need amplification.
• Customise the new rules, actions and behaviours required to drive the energy amplification.
• Execute the project including all energy sustainability steps.
• Continuous review and adjustment to retain new energy and performance levels.

Readers are welcome to read many of our blogs on the subject or to contact us directly for more information on the energy transmogrification of individuals, teams and organisations.
