Time and ROI

TWO UNIQUE TIME ROI PERSPECTIVES

TIME PAIRS or The impact of TIme on Reward+Risk and Answers+Questions.

Risk or pain tolerance is high when one is winning or rewarded and inverts when losing if you stay in same timeline.  Casinos and con-men influence timeline perception to profit.

People believe questions come before answers or cause comes before effect.
When an answer or effect comes first people waste tme and energy seeking questions or causes to achieve symmetry.

I have learned to observe, appreciate and actively seek out Assymetry and  not to differentiate between what I agree with or disagree with but rather observe and understand anomalies. 

What I agree with or disagree with can easily be  memorized.

SUCCESS =  S, Units, Clock, Cycle, Event, Story, Scenario
 
S–is my bucket for every other perception of time that I can’t explain or communicate.
Units–represents mountains and a valley where time measures depend on your location.
Clock–the tyranny of clocks that operate in a linear fashion, but not always–egg timer.
Cycle–time repeats but always slightly differently–statisticians are stuck here.
Event–Manjana time that starts when an event starts.
Story–Time starts or stops anywhere in a story and can loop into itself–think authors.
Scenario–multiple stories happen in scenario construction each with different or all forms of time. 

CAUSE OR RESULT
Is time a cause of something happening or do we measure time after something happens? BOTH.
An interesting Sufi concept is that causes often occur after results.
 
TIME IS IRRELEVENT
It is possible to jump into someone elses timeline and make your past perception of time (pain or pleasure) disappear. 
 
TIME AND CORPORATE MEASURES
Back in 1993 I had a meeting at ORACLE headquarters the concept of tracking time across the Value Chain via ERP.
Ahead of my time or rather their time or both.
 
TIME LINE INTERSECTIONS
Intersections of different time lines, SUCCESS, are where the DIAMONDS are located. 
Viewing multiple simultaneous perspectives with a datacube construct works very well with time.
Consider that PRODUCTS and CUSTOMERS have their own time lines and an ORDER is the intersection point.
 
VALUE CREATION TIME
Helping corporations understand and report time line interactions is like helping Google or Yahoo improve their search to the level of Coca Cola, useless. 

However we can understand how each side ‘vibrates’ and broker the tools to synchronize one with the other.
 
PRODUCT AND PERSONA TIME
Products and Personae are ‘fuzzy’ they constantly change and I use a ‘mask’ as a way to hold an image in my mind so that I can commun icate current state and infer potentional future state.  The same happens on the product side and I simplify further by saying that I can build Product Personae and Corporate Personae.
 
TIME VISUALIZATION
http://www.weather.com/   has it right–time is local and global, just like the ‘U’ in SUCCESS.
This is the simplest way I can think of to visualize and render time to make it understandable.
