What is the Inflow Matrix?

By Elijah Ignatieff

Listen to Audio Podcast

The Inflow Matrix stands for ‘information flowing through a matrix’.
Matrix comes from the latin word for womb.
Perhaps we are ever searching
to remake our wombs
to have the safety
and warmth
of our
place of origin.

The Inflow Matrix
is information
flowing through a structure.
It is multidimensional.
It is values based
and knowledge sensitive.

It is a unifying language system
that centers
together
all the separate pieces
of your
business
and
personal
life.

We all have online
and offline
systems of organizing information,
how well do they all integrate?

How overwhelmed are you
with all the information to manage,
especially as a
knowledge worker?

The Inflow Matrix
looks to improve
productivity
and the quality of work done in
4 critical areas
for human beings:

LEARNING

CREATIVITY

COMMUNICATION

HEALTH

@

the

Individual
Group
Community

LEVELS

It is a self-organizing,
emerging,
open system
that is looking for the right technology
and people
to bring all of the sustainable solutions
into one whole free educational system.

We are missing a holistic,
comprehensive values based
approach
to
solving
many of the world’s
greatest issues.

Currently
an outdated
‘Industrial Revolution Language Paradigm’
is running the planet
with its fear mongering,
great greed
and a con of a financial system.

The key element is debt
and what would life be
without it.

Instead,
replaced by communities of sovereign beings
who create a life together,
free from oppressive monetary control systems
of governments
that are not looking out
for the interests of the whole,
but for the limited greedy interests of the few
that put them in power.

This is a proven fact.

Well the masses have woken up.
The emperor is riding around with no clothes
and so many people,
namely the Cultural Creatives (50 million strong)
are looking to a more peaceful,
sustainable
loving
co-existence.

No one wants more war
except those who personally gain from it.

The corruption,
the wars,
the bombings
are all symbols of the past
because when the masses
start to apply their overwhelming strength
in peaceful strikes,
you will watch things
unfold very differently.

You watch what inspired human beings
can do in service to the greater whole
when they find a way
to align their gifts and talents
with the means
to produce their lifestyle choice.

The Inflow Matrix
is a set of maps
anyone can use to transform their gifts and talents
into a sustainable lifestyle.

And when all the businesses connect together,
they do so on the same platform.

Within this platform
is a way to create a
Shared Knowledge Community.

This is when all the knowledge workers
organize around some
cause, issue, or product
and all use the inflow matrix
as the uniting information system.

The added synergy
due to values alignment,
coupled with a mapped out system of info flow
will lead a group of pioneers into new territories
of online and offline collaboration.

We are in a renaissance.
Why not use this time to transform
what is no longer working
into things that work really well?

Just go ahead and do it.
Don’t ask anyone’s permission
just take initiative to make everything
more sustainable all the time.

The key to doing this
is communication and learning
to really read your own context
as well as the context of
whom you are speaking with
before you begin to connect.

The Inflow Matrix
has maps and card sets
to allow you to do this.

It’s a way to see connection and alignment
in all the chaos and noise
that the ‘Industrial Revolution Language Paradigm’
uses to keep people
confused and doubtful.

In business
you need to know where someone is,
and where they want to go
and how you are going to help them get there.

In whatever form it takes,
the same essential process is occurring.
If you have a very appropriate language structure,
A New Paradigm Knowledge Worker Toolkit
to organize any business
from beginning to end,
that would be useful wouldn’t it?

Transforming People who Care..into people who Dare

Namaste
