The aim of the In2:InThinking Network is to promote study, insight, and application of individual and collective
awareness of sub-systems, psychology, variation,
knowledge, and their interactions - elements recognized
as the basis of W. Edwards Deming's “System
of Profound KnowledgeTM (SoPK)".
The concept of “inThinking” derives
from “awareness of our own thinking and the assumptions" we make in how we act when we allocate resources (time, money, space, materials, inventory, equipment, ideas, etc.) where
thinking is defined as “a way of reasoning.”
Fundamental to resource allocation is whether our activities are deliberately (by choice) proactive or reactive, and whether the resources involved belong to the enterprise ("ours") or to one's own department, function, district, part, etc. ("mine"). InThinking invites an individual to learn to perceive
the patterns of interdependencies surrounding
him or her and to reason and judge with new insight and thereby engage in the activities of Purposeful Resource Management and Purposeful Resource Leadership across their enterprise. Such efforts would be commonplace in an environment of "InThinking Together."
Such a personal transformation of awareness builds
upon the foundation of Profound Knowledge to include
the theories of Russell Ackoff, Edward
de Bono, Peter Senge, Tom Johnson, and Genichi Taguchi, among many others.

Our Network efforts are enabled day-by-day, month-by-month, and year-by-year by civic-minded volunteers whose contributions include a passion for making a difference, coupled with ideas, time and energy. Together, we are working, learning, and thinking about how we can foster and inspire "better thinking for a better future" and what this effort enables individuals and organizations of all shapes and sizes to do differently.
Contributions to our Network also include financial support from our members, coupled with the proceeds of our annual Forum. Towards this end, please consider contributing a tax-deductible donation to the In2:InThinking Network, which is chartered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your donation can be towards our general fund (to support the website and newsletter), or towards scholarships and financial assistance of future attendees of our annual Forum.
Contact Bill Bellows for additional information on how to contribute.
