New Time-Life Navigation Web Site—Seeking Partners for Further Site Enhancement
Nashville (Tenn) - The site is a synthesis of organization evolution; life design; work life (career) evolution; financial investing; and a life navigation system.
This 
synthesis is at the core of social and economic development plus social wealth creation. It is also at the core of long-term self-interest. See payoff . This site is not just something else to read. It is at the core of what to do.
We live in a world moving toward unimagined futures yet our mental patterns are unavoidably and recurrently rooted in yesterday (it can't be otherwise). This incongruity is bound to lead to major difficulties—expectations not realized, marooned or lost—when a familiar "road" becomes disjointed. Multiple examples can be seen in the daily news.
The major focus of this site is navigating the unfamiliar roads ahead—not the familiar road behind. The unfamiliar road ahead is the conceptual space between today and the outer limit of concern on the changing social and economic picture time line (concept map image on left). These unfamiliar roads ahead are embedded in complex external systems that are dynamic (private, public, and social sectors; a society of organizations; a multitiered transnational economy and ecology; complex political structures; the NEW educated person--link). The opportunities of a life-time reside on the roads ahead, not on the road behind. The remainder of our lives occurs on the roads ahead. Currently the time-life navigation © site could be considered the ultimate resource for organizing the work associated with this navigation challenge.
Navigation implies intelligently choosing our destinations and then taking the action needed to reach those destinations, but how can we choose from unseen or unfamiliar options?
This time-life navigation © site provides a comprehensive action framework plus tools for developing a systematic, life-long work approach (in each of the five dimensions above). This framework is convenient, comprehensive, flexible and multi-generational. Our work approach serves our long-term interests only when it is in harmony with the disjoints and realities evident in the changing social and economic picture and related knowledge system view. Our work approach is sensible when it helps us navigate toward tomorrows and unimagined futures—major opportunities.
Part of the comprehensive action framework blueprints a process of getting TO long-term, relevant concepts and then from concepts to daily action. This is a Life-time investment system!
The work approach leads to a work plan. Users initially explore the site and identify future time investments for creating a time-life navigation © (TLN) work plan. This exploration is divided into two strategic parts. The first part includes this page and is part of creating a crucial background and conceptual foundation for working on the five TLN dimensions moving through time. The second part begins with an exploration of the elements on the time-life navigation site map ©.
The capacity to repeatedly create a valid, time-life navigation © work plan is a substantial personal asset . The site provides a mechanism for doing this—multi-generationally.
Partners and donations are needed for further site enhancement. Celebrities plus organization, community, and social leaders interested in high leverage ways to "give back" should consider this site a prime candidate.
