What makes science so successful in knowledge generation and problem solving?
How do Scientists Think?  How does Science Work?
How can I think scientifically to unlock the succcess of science in my environment?

Science has shown itself to be very successful over centuries, leaving us with the question "what makes it so successful"?  Mariana has studied this phenomenon in much detail to understand the "science of science", and has developed an approach that can be used to incease success in problem solving and knowledge generation dramatically.  This approach is cross-disciplinary, and can be used even in areas where "scientific method" does not seem to work well.

(You might also be interested to visit www.sciencemanagement.co.nz for more information.  In particular, look at some case studies where the capability to think scientifically has been used in support of strategic decision making.)

We also schedule regular FREE  webinars about "Science in Management",  where we give an overview of the efforts of the past, their strengths and weaknesses, as well as new developments that can be very useful for mamagement and organizational decision makers.  These webinars are interactive and you can ask your questions live.  If you want to be informed about these webinars, fill in the form below:

We also offer  an interactive, online course in scientific thinking, with specific application inthe knowledge economy for management and organizational knowledge generation.  You can download the brochure for more information, or read more about the course in Scientific Thinking (and watch a video online).

Unlock centuries of refined effort to generate knowledge so as to advance your success in the knowledge economy.

The short description of scientific thinking found in our ebook is intuitive, but also theoretically sound - You might want to know in more detail how to harness the strenth of scientific thinking, or even look at doing our unique course where we unlock the more intricate realities of scientific thinking and make it accessible to everybody.

While it is useful, it is not necessary to study “Scientific Method” to achieve the kind of success science has with knowledge generation.  In fact, religiously following “The Scientific Method” can cause you to fail in management and organizational environments (it has been proven to be so)!  Even more so, scientific method is not really a method, and following it methodologically like a recipe is a sure path to disaster in some instances.

You can also do our four month online course in scientific thinking where we’ll help you develop these and other more refined skills and apply them to your situation to run ahead of others in knowledge generation in the knowledge economy.
