A navigator is the person on board of a ship or aircraft responsible for its navigation. The navigator is not the captain, but provides the information to the captain in order to make adequate decisions. Therefore, the navigator’s primary responsibility is to be aware of the ship or aircraft’s position at all times.

A Navigator on the Internet is an object that substitutes the individual that navigates a ship or airplane to position the user in the World Wide Web.

In business there are many activities that are homologous to navigators:

-Market Research
-Strategic Positioning
-Diagnosing
-Scenario Building
-Information Technology, etc.

In order to benchmark Mozilla’s experience we would consider that it is a way to navigate the Internet providing alternatives to the “captain” in order to use the platform as a tool to develop the activity s/he has planned.

The Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) is simpler. It provides basically a rigid navigation platform to ensure that individuals can access information. IE doesn’t pretend to be an adaptive platform. It pretends to be a simple access to the Internet. Thus it is the natural navigator for individuals who just use Internet as an access to information.

The more participative the design of the navigators, the more flexible they can work. The more flexible they are, the higher the level of the “persons” to deal with them.

Mozilla is an example that can only be benchmarked if it is experienced in real use, as well as its comparison with the Internet Explorer Concept.

This benchmark will help you design adaptive systems. The Unicist Standard allows developing flexible designs with quality assurance.

We recommend listening to John Lilly’s lecture, CEO of Mozilla.  You will access the core fundamental of Mozilla’s success.

Every system that uses intelligent systems to adapt to the environment works as a complex system.

As such it requires managing destructive tests that integrate both the specifics of the part that is being tested and the entire system to validate the capacity to adapt to the environment.

The Unicist Standard in outsourcing requires apprehending the fundamentals of outsourcing in nature.

When living beings expand, “outsourcing” is a natural way to do so. The wind pollinates flowers, plants generate humus, and the entire ecological system is based on interdependence.

Interdependence implies outsourcing and outsourcing implies interdependence.

But when there is extreme scarcity and living beings resort to individualistic behaviors to survive, like bacteria, insourcing is the only possible way. They must be absolutely independent because they cannot count on resources of the environment.

Outsourcing and insourcing in the business world

To enter the world of effective outsourcing and insourcing it is necessary to define the criteria of effectiveness.

From a unicist point of view the optimum blending of outsourcing/insourcing is given when the highest level of synergy is achieved.

Synergy implies synergic behavior in the short and long run.
