Botanorganisation

Feminine noun · Crestignacian.

Definition

A Crestignacian discipline that explains organisational phenomena through analogies with plant life. It establishes a connection between the apparent immobility of plants and corporate life: living things grow, mature, branch out and bear fruit while essentially remaining in place. A mature organisation likewise strives for controlled, static movement.

Founding principle

“Let us not forget that a ripe fruit does not move. It turns red.”

Applied analogism

• Management remains in place, just as a tree trunk maintains its position.
• Prematurework is like artificially accelerating a plant's growth: all development must remain controlled.
• An SIC of 99.9% represents an organisation sufficiently alive to evolve, yet sufficiently stable to preserve its position.
• A copilationnade resembles leaves rustling: plenty of visible movement without displacement of the whole.
• A ripe fruit offers the perfect model of controlled static production: it produces a visible result without leaving its branch.

Axiom of analogism

“Every organisational phenomenon has a sufficiently convincing explanation in plant life to make searching for a better one unnecessary.”

Connection to fundamental theories

Botanorganisation provides a living model for controlled static movement, the Semantic Immobility Coefficient (SIC), Prematurework and the principle that Management must preserve its position.
