The SccoB Process: An Integration of the Exploitory and Exploratory Processes Through a Self-Sustaining Process of Knowledge Creation

Based on qualities of the four-stroke engine and the medical diagnostic process, five characteristics of knowledge were identified and serve as the basis of a self-sustaining knowledge creation process. The SccoB process forms a complementary relation with the firm's existing processes and provides a counterweight to its existing mode of thought. This is done through an internal, counter-culture research institute and the creation of stress and profound insights through the identification and analysis of operational anomalies. SccoB is also a mapping process which moves the organization to greater quality and agility and to more advanced forms of mapping, such as the mapping of technical skills, complex diagnostic problem spaces, business process knowledge requirements, and cognitive force.
