People Cheat, Systems Don’t You may have heard the famous expression that the American democratic system was “designed by geniuses to be run by idiots." Well, whether or not this is literally true, the phrase captures the idea that any high-quality organizational system must be foolproof. It must automatically enhance its members' abilities to create positive outcomes while simultaneously canceling out their negative tendencies. Ours is such a system. While individuals' behavior can vary widely, groups of people structured in a particular fashion act in remarkably predictable ways, and our system uses that for positive change. In the perennially theft- ridden dairy plant where our method was first used, thefts by employees plunged by 90% in the first six weeks. In addition, without any push from the management, the employees reduced production-related losses (considered in the industry as “normal”) by an unbelievable 80%, moving the factory from consistent arrears to a steady surplus. In another situation, our method was applied in a government construction unit that was mostly staffed with former felons. The guys took real pride in never filling their quotas. However, within a week of implementing our system, the same ex-felons started meeting their daily quotas by lunchtime. Imagine the savings. Every time our system has been used, employee morale has gone through the roof and managers have finally been able to devote their time to more important business tasks than trying to control their supposedly worthless employees. No, such successes - unexpected by both managers and employees - did not mean that the previously slothful, incompetent and dishonest had miraculously changed their stripes. If you return them to the usual control pyramid, they will resume their malfeasant behavior. However, within our structure, these people obtained enough freedom and satisfaction to want to behave more constructively, and just enough peer pressure to reinforce such behaviors. In turn, this drive for personal and team satisfaction led to skyrocketing productivity and beat the performance of teams organized in more conventional ways. "It Takes a Thief to Catch a Thief" Instead of the usual stiff rules (the red tape), our system employs a peer-driven verify-and-trust mechanism. The fairly simple scheme automatically and fluidly determines the degree of trust that each individual receives from his peers. In our experience, even the most dishonest employees started to participate in removing malfeasant behavior themselves. Not even the most clever cheats could fool the system, which rapidly adapted to their level of sophistication. Where bosses and outside watchdogs fail to spot a well-camouflaged crook, peers organized in this particular fashion don’t miss a thing (ex-thieves can spot a thief, can't they?) Because the method brings out the best in people and reduces the worst in them automatically, you don't need any conscientious employees before adopting it. Once installed, the system simply begins a non-stop cycle of behavior improvement wherein employees first stop their worst behaviors, then second-worst, and so on, very rapidly raising the bar for everyone. The cycle is self-perpetuating and self-reinforcing. Since our system works not by increasing penetration (from a small spot further out), but in every nook and cranny of the organization at the same time, it is very fast. It attacks waste, fraud and abuse from every direction the moment it is implemented. It not only cleans up even the most ethically-challenged organizations, but it also does so more thoroughly than anything you've heard of, and you've likely heard a lot... Despite the gentleness of this approach (in our experience, no one goes to jail and there are no mass firings of previously malfeasant members), even in a worst-case scenario where the operation of the system is sabotaged by management, you can expect all forms of illegal and unethical behavior to decline by 50% every six months. In most cases wrongdoing will halve every month or so, and continued application of our system will result in a permanent solution. Universal "Plug and Play" Our experience and research show that this self-adaptive system will work equally well in any nation or industry. Yes, it will work in India or Haiti just as well as in Finland. Similarly, it will work in organizations of all sizes: from a small government office to an entire government, from a family-owned shop to the largest multi-national. In technology parlance, ours is an “infinitely scalable” system: with it, if you can de-corrupt a small group of people from the inside, you can do so in an entire massive organization. After all, every large organization consists of smaller groups lumped into larger ones. Whatever your definition of corruption and malfeasance – bribery, embezzlement, employee theft or other forms of unethical behavior - this method will end it from the inside. No new prosecutors, no new "iron fist" laws. Privacy advocates should be particularly pleased that the system does not require radical transparency -- it won't create bad publicity for organizations or individuals using it. No-Cost Solution The use of our system costs its adopters nothing. Unless our “ounce of cure” starts to bring them pounds or literally rail cars of savings and profit, it is totally free. Indeed, we would gladly pay back the implementation costs as a guarantee that the system works; however, there are no such costs. The implementation involves nothing more than the usual administrative activity, whose intensity decreases upon the system’s adoption. What’s the catch, then? Here: in order to sustain and widen our anti-corruption effort, we ask for a small percentage of the solution-related savings/profits that your business or government organization will enjoy. We are talking about a fraction of the savings which cannot be realized without our help. We encourage potential users to explore all other methods first. As you see, we have compiled links to other anti- corruption and pro-ethics websites, and we hope you'll suggest more to us. Call us only after you are confident that other methods won’t work to your satisfaction. And please, keep in mind: the elimination of malfeasance and waste is not a matter of resolve or resources - it is a matter of choice. Yours. info@CorruptionManagement.com |
