HCO POLICY LETTER OF 27 OCTOBER 1969

Admin Know-How No. 23
DEV T
The entire, complete and only major source of Dev T is ignorance or
failure to
grasp CONFUSION AND THE STABLE DATUM as covered fully in "Problems of
Work" (and LRH Tapes of 1956).
Unless an executive or staff member fully grasps the basic principles of
Confusion
and a Stable Datum then the org board is completely over his head, the
reason for
posts is not understood and Dev T becomes routine.
A post on the org board is the STABLE POINT. If it is not held by
someone it
will generate confusion. If the person that is holding it isn't really
holding it, the
confusion inherent in that area on the org board zooms all over the place
near and
far.
Any executive getting Dev T knows at once what posts are not held
because
Dev T is the confusion that should have been handled in that area by
someone on post.
With that stable terminal not stable, Dev T shoots about.
Excessive transfers in an org promote fantastic Dev T as the posts do
not really
get held as people are on them too briefly. "Musical chairs" (excessive
transfers) can
destroy an org or area.
The remedy is to get people trained up (OEC) to handle their posts, to
get people
on post who do handle their posts.
An essential part of such training is a study of "Problems of Work" and
a full
grasp of how a stable terminal handles and prevents Confusion. If the
person cannot
fully grasp this principle, he is below the ability to conceive of
terminals and barely
able to perceive lines. He cannot communicate since there are no terminals
to him.
REMOTE AREAS
If an area remote from an executive does not contain a stable point to
which he
can send his comm and get it handled, then his comm only enters Dev T into
the area
and he gets back floods of despatches and problems but no real handling.
The area is
not organized and does not have people in it who have grasped "Problems of
Work" or
how it applies to an Org Board or even why there is an Org Board.
Communicating into a disorganized area without first organizing it to
have at least
one stable terminal is foolishness.
An Org Board is that arrangement of persons, lines and actions which
classifies
types of confusions and gives a stable terminal to each type. It is as
effective as its
people can conceive of terminals and understand the basic principle of
Confusions and
Stable Data.
A good executive arranges personnel and organization to handle types of
actions
and confusions. He does not broadly Comm into disorganized areas except to
organize
them.
