Jul 75) 2. the pattern of the
terminals and their
flows. You have to have an
org board and the
org board must in
truth be a representation of what is in the
org. The
org board shows where what
terminals are located in the
org so
flows can occur.
(HCO PL 7 Jul 71) 3. org board is actually an abbreviation not for an
organization (
noun)
board but an
organizing (verb)
board. The
org board shows the pattern of
organizing to
obtain a
product. A
board then is a
flow chart of
consecutive products brought about by
terminals in
series. We see these
terminals as "posts" or positions. Each one of these is a
hat. There is a
flow along these
hats. The result of the whole
board is a
product. The
product of each
hat on the
board adds up to the total
product.
(HCO PL 28 Oct 70) 4. 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 Sept 70 II) 5. the
org board is the
general plan, the function

(691OC20 SO) 7. 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.
(HCO PL 27 Oct 69) 8. the
org board consists of a couple sheets of
clear blue
Formica, 4 feet high by more than 8'9" long. It can be longer than 8'9". That is the minimum. That gives one
department only five inches of width. A
yellow vertical stripe of cellotape split in half separates departments in a
division and divisions are separated by a full width of it. A
thin strip of
green goes all along the top of the departments. The
level word goes above each
department and the
yellow tape. The
command lines are in
red cellotape. The names of departments are
cut on a
Dymo using
tape approximating the
color flash of the
department as feasible.
Executive Secretaries and
secretary titles and names are in
gold Dymo tape. Directors' titles and names are in
gold banded
brown tape. Other
executives' titles and names are in
gold banded black
tape. Communicators are in this
tape.
Section names are in the same
tape color as the
department name. All subsections or
units are the same
tape color as the
department name. All
general staff members are in plain
green tape. All
provisional or
temporary staff members are in black
tape. The name of a
deputy is in
green tape but the
title, even when preceded by "
deputy" is the
color code as above. (

flow sequence.
(OODs 29 Oct 70) 11. a refined
board of an
old galactic civilization. We applied
Scn to it and found why it eventually failed. It lacked a couple of departments and that was enough to
mess it all up. They lasted 80 trillion.
