The Institute

The founder’s professional work predates the Institute. In 1990 he participated in organizing 5,000 young people from Querétaro for a youth gathering with Pope John Paul II.

During his entrepreneurial period he developed Exser, a transport service without terminals. The institutional archive records its later acquisition by Grupo Flecha Amarilla and its evolution into Aeroplus.

Earlier experience led to Casa Santa Fe Organización de Eventos and participation in a papal visit to Mexico. Work expanded into corporate accounts, including Productos Pennsylvania and Industrias de Turborreactores.

Work with Mars Inc. began in conventions, trade shows, launches and customer travel, seeking to turn events into tools for achieving objectives.

Casa Santa Fe expanded its work across the event portfolio of Mars Inc. Mexico and strategic events for Nestlé and Unilever. The institutional archive also records organizational culture projects for companies establishing themselves in Querétaro.

Work began with Mexico’s federal government during Vicente Fox’s presidency, with particular attention to events addressing gender issues. This stage broadened experience across institutional settings.

The institutional archive records implementation in Mexico of a global organizational culture initiative for Mars Inc., within a program spanning 82 countries.

It also records participation in organizing APEC 2002, comprising 17 ministerial and sectoral gatherings and a presidential summit; events for the US representation in France; and projects in industrial sectors.

Casa Santa Fe reorganized its business model to expand operational capacity without increasing positions in its organizational chart. This search for new ways to integrate resources and capabilities preceded the Institute.

The December 2004 tsunami gave new direction to the founder’s reflection on organization. The scale of the emergency prompted questions about how people and societies prepare for complex situations, and about the need for professional education in this field.

In March 2005, Org. A. J. Rosenzweig founded the Instituto Mundial De Organización y Planeación Avanzada (IMOPA). Its purpose was to develop organization as a professional discipline and establish a field of education and study for complex situations.

Hurricane Katrina, which occurred after the founding, reinforced institutional reflection that year on organizational preparedness and disaster response.

The 2006 doctrinal archive records three starting points:

• Object of organization: evolution.
• Subject of organization: continuity.
• Source of study: natural order.

Within this institutional development, continuity is established as organization’s deliverable and natural order as its source of study. These foundations open the development of Organization As A Natural Science.

The institutional doctrine began to take shape: Universal Principles Of Organization, the Philosophical Platform Of Organizational Thought, sequential properties of matter, the Sequential Organization Algorithm, the IRT Organization Coefficient, Frequency Theory and the evolutionary behavior of order.

Universal Organizational Structures included the Pyramid Of Organizational Priorities, Organizational Cell, Cover Sheet, Programs, Sectorization and Operations Center, alongside the Classification Tree Of Organizational Phenomena.

Subjects included Organizational Communication, Cellular Organization, Mathematics Applied To Organization and Universal Organizational Structures. Methods included the Continuity Map, Planning By Conditions System, Global Organization Method and Sequential Design Of Futures. Definitions addressed organization, consciousness, interaction, equilibrium and sequence.

The Institute records participation in a high-level OECD forum in Paris, at the invitation of José Ángel Gurría. This stage brought together the development of organizational definitions of crisis and disaster and the design of the Universal Disaster Magnitude Scale.

The name was shortened from Instituto Mundial De Organización y Planeación Avanzada to Instituto Mundial De Organización, known in English as the World Organization Institute. Work progressed on organizing knowledge and building the academic structure.

The archive records participation in work on disaster definitions and numerical indicators in the United Nations setting in Geneva, Switzerland.

Academic content was developed alongside participation in coordinating an international scientific community addressing sargassum. This work expanded interaction with specialists and settings for applying organizational knowledge.

WOI participated in organizational management during the COVID-19 pandemic in Querétaro, with public-facing strategies and models based on population participation.

The experience included the “1-2-3-4” crisis management structure, metrics, organizational public communication, social training and modulation, and approaches to regenerating the social ecosystem after the pandemic.

Knowledge-sharing models expanded for schools, universities and consulting firms, alongside support for recovering companies and organizational culture development.

The institutional archive records agreements with UNAM on Mathematics Applied To Organization, continuity projects connected with the University of Guadalajara and FIL, and academic projects in refugee settlements in Uganda.

Corporate Universities was developed to digitize training and organizational culture, alongside connectivity platforms among productive entities linked to the University of Guadalajara, including FIL Guadalajara, Editorial Universitaria, Librería Carlos Fuentes and Taller del Chucho.

Attention turned to the relationship between organizational knowledge and culture, and to programs addressing crises and disasters through population participation. Refugee settlements in Africa and Acapulco after Hurricane Otis were among the contexts informing this reflection.

Proposals were developed for Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History to bring OCCN into diverse cultural settings, beginning with pilot programs in Mexico.

Applications were developed to put organizational knowledge into practice, including the Business Organization Coefficient (COe) and ToDuuu, focused on activity tracking and personal habits and skills.

Knowledge-sharing continued through certifications, courses, academic programs, publications and conferences.

The archive for this stage brings together early artificial intelligence modules, the Global Atlas Of Organizational Patterns project, initiatives opening knowledge to communities, and a YouTube channel for social training in crisis and disaster settings.

It also presents NAYA, an application for teaching organization across different subjects and languages. These initiatives precede the new Web Campus stage.

Integration of artificial intelligence into WOI and the birth of the Web Campus: a multicultural, multilingual platform supported by digital tools for learning and applying organizational knowledge.

This developing stage brings together the institutional website, access to knowledge and new interaction tools, with the aim of adapting learning to different people, languages and contexts.
