MG
Taylor
Enterprise
Restructuring
|
|
At
the beginning of March, 2002, after 9 months
of planning, the MG Taylor Corporation has
started the process of a complete reorganization
and financial restructuring.
|
|
This
process will be formally initiated at the
April 6, “Stakeholders” meeting
to be held at the Palo Alto knOwhere Store.
At this meeting, All members of the MG Taylor
ValueWeb will be presented with details of
the plan.
|
| Stockholders
and Board Meetings will follow the general session
which is open to Investors, Creditors, Clients
and producer members of the MG Taylor community
and MG Taylor, AI and knOwhere Business Units. |
|
|
| The
MG Taylor Enterprise was started in the Fall
of 1979 after about 5 years of research on and
testing of the assumptions that make up the
theory and practice of the effort. |
|
|
|
The
ValueWeb as a mature concept emerged out of
the 23 years of MG Taylor experience, however,
the basic premise of a “network economy”
was at the root of the enterprise concept
from the beginning.
|
| The
essence of the “reorganization”
of the MG Taylor Corporations is taking the
final step to becoming a true ValueWeb Enterprise. |
|
|
| The
conversion process will start after the April
meeting and will continue through the second
quarter of 2002. MG Taylor, AI and knOwhere
have been operating in a highly integrated way
since the beginning of 2002. |
|
|
| MG
Taylor has compiled over the years a significant
Body of Knowledge regarding work methods, collaboration,
work environments and the configuration and
uses of technology to augment knowledge work
and “Group Genius.” At the moment,
this knowledge is distributed among the MG Taylor
Business Units, iterations and several individuals.
In the reorganization, this will be pulled together
into systematic IP to be developed, licensed,
transferred and published in a variety of forms
as the main focus of the MG Taylor. In addition,
MG Taylor will function as the Systems Integrator
(SI) of a ValueWeb of Investors, Producers and
users who will take the MG Taylor system and
methods to scale employing many products, services
and enterprise structures. |
|
|
| The
MG Taylor has gained in the last several years
a forceful position in the fields related to
ValueWebs, collaborative process, creative and
flexible work environments and leveraging technology.
A License was granted, in 2001, for the Taylor
System and Method and several applications are
filed that will add to this position. |
|
|
| The
MG Taylor has a long history. It has achieved
proof of concept of regarding how to transform
traditional organizations to flexible, productive,
adaptable 21st Century enterprises. MG Taylor
has earned over $50 million in revenues doing
this and spent about 10% more learning how to
do it. While project profitability has long
been achieved, enterprise profitability has
not. The greatest challenge to this goal has
been the complexity of incubating products and
services across so broad a range and the conflicts
associated with “competing” with enterprise
partners. In addition, the ValueWeb concept
was far too nascent an idea to become operational
before now. The going maturity of the MG Taylor
nascent ValueWeb and the evolution of the market
place now presents an opportunity to create
a profitable enterprise able to achieve the
goal of ubiquity of a new way of working. |
