Org Series Flashcards
Theory Drilling on Org Series (162 cards)
What does one organize by?
So one organizes by:
- Surveying types of particles
- Working out the changes desired for each to make a product.
- Posting the terminals who will do the changing along the sequence of changes.

What happens if we add people without an org board?
If we add them without an org board we will also add confusion. The organization without an org board will break down by overload and cross-flows and currents. These in conflict become confusion.
HCO PL 13 SEPTEMBER 1970, II, Org Series 1, BASIC ORGANIZATION
What is a proper org board?
A proper org board is a perpetual combination of flows which do not collide with one another and which do enter and do experience the desired change and which do leave as a product.
HCO PL 13 SEPTEMBER 1970, II, Org Series 1, BASIC ORGANIZATION
What does the mounting overload and overwhelm in an area entirely come from?
The mounting overload and overwhelm in a area comes from cope-cope-cope without organizing also.

What are national riots essentially?
National riots are just the inability of leaders to arrange sequences of action and designate channels for types of particles.

What is ORGANIZATIONAL GENIUS composed of?
ORGANIZATIONAL GENIUS IS COMPOSED OF ARRANGING SEQUENCES OF ACTION AND DESIGNATING CHANNELS FOR TYPES OF PARTICLES. THAT’S ALL IT IS.

What do you do when your in-basket is too high?
If your in-basket is too high you cope and handle it AND ORGANIZE YOUR LINES for the future.
“I am absolutely drowning…” is the same as saying “I can’t organize worth a damn!”
HCO PL 14 SEPTEMBER 1970, Issue I, Org Series 2, COPE AND ORGANIZE
What is “cope” really?
It is the process of finding and correcting outpoints without ever discovering a WHY and without organizing any return to the ideal scene.
HCO PL 21 SEPTEMBER 1970, Org Series 2-1, COPE
What are the fundamental things that could go wrong in organizing an org?
It is assumed that the activity is worthwhile and the potential production valuable. Given that, the remaining ten points are the points where organization breaks down as these areas are the most aberrated in the society.
The fundamental outnesses, however, would be failure to recruit, to have checksheets and packs for each post, get training done on them and have new people on post serve on it in-training.

What is the reason things do not run well in a life, and org, a group, nation or the world?
The reason things do not run well in a life, an org, a group, nation or the world is an absence of hats.
HCO PL 22 SEPTEMBER 1970, Org Series 4, HATS
What is a HAT?
A term used to describe the write-ups, checksheets and packs that outline the purposes, know-how and duties of a post. It exists in folders and packs and is trained in on the person on the post.
HCO PL 22 SEPTEMBER 1970, Org Series 4, HATS
What must a hat contain?
A hat must contain:
A. A purpose of the post
B. Its relative position on the org bd.
C. A write-up of the post (done usually by people who have held it before relief and when so done it has no further authority than advice).
D. A checksheet of all the policy letters, bulletins, advices, manuals, books and drills applicable to the post. (As in a course checksheet.)
E. A full pack of the written materials or tapes of the checksheet plus any manuals of equipment or books.
F. A copy of the org bd of the portion of the org to which the post belongs.
G. A flow chart showing what particles are received by the post and what changes the post is expected to make in them and to where the post routes them.
H. The product of the post.
I. The statistic of the post. The statistic of the section, the statistic of the department and division to which the post belongs.
HCO PL 22 SEPTEMBER 1970, Org Series 4, HATS
What happens when a person has no hat?
When a person has no hat he lacks purpose and value.
When he has no purpose and value he not only goofs, he will commit crimes.

What are NONUTILIZED PERSONNEL?
People who don’t know what they are doing and people who don’t but think they do are both NONUTILIZED PERSONNEL.

What is the most serious blunder in re-doing org boards? And what is THE RULE regarding this?
The most serious blunder in re-doing org boards is losing past functions off them.
(…)
THE RULE IS: ANY MAJOR FUNCTION, ACTION OR POST LEFT OFF AN ORG BOARD WILL WRAP ITSELF AROUND THE IN-CHARGE LIKE A HIDDEN MENACE.
HCO PL 26 SEPTEMBER 1970, Org Series 5, ORG BOARD CUTATIVES
What is the most usual counter-effort?
The most usual counter-effort is NOT willfulness or mutiny or out-ethics. Most people consider these are the reasons they get opposition to worthwhile actions.
The most usual counter-effort is lack of a hat, defining a hat as a write-up, check sheet and pack on which the person is trained.
HCO PL 1 OCTOBER 1970, Org Series 7, HATS AND COUNTER-EFFORT
Even when one has org boarded and hatted and specialist trained an activity, what is still a missing element?
There is still a missing element when one has org boarded and hatted and specialist trained an activity. This is PROGRAMS.
The sequence of flows and the changes or actions at each point plotted against time are in fact the major sequences and programs of a group.
HCO PL 1 OCTOBER 1970, Org Series 7, HATS AND COUNTER-EFFORT
What is the rule regarding Org Board CUTATIVES?
THE RULE IS: ANY MAJOR FUNCTION, ACTION OR POST LEFT OFF AN ORG BOARD WILL WRAP ITSELF AROUND THE IN-CHARGE LIKE A HIDDEN MENACE.
Org Series 5
What is the most usual counter-effort
Lack of a Hat.
Reference: Org Series 7
When one has org boarded and hatted and specialist trained an activity what element is still missing
This is PROGRAMS.
Org Series 7.
Given a desired product a fully successful management can only be founded on the actions inherent in what? (4 points)
- A good org board
- Hats as write-ups, check sheets and packs,
- Hats trained in,
- Sequences and programs known and followed.
Org series 7
How can single-handing still occur (a) when there are other people who are also supposed to be working, (b) when there is an org board, (c) when there are hats and (d) when programs exist?
This of course looks like “bad morale,” “apathy,” even “mutiny.”
The missing elements usually are:
a. The other people don’t know the purpose of the activity or what’s really going in.
b. The org bd is unknown to them even when it exists.
c. The hats are not checksheets and packs and have not been trained in.
d. The sequences or programs that should occur are not drilled in and if they were the no-hat situation would wreck them.
Org Series 7
What is easily the the commonest cause of org collapse?
A whole org can be org boarded and hatted and trained and yet shatter when an untrained senior turns it into a “hey you!” Org board.
