Government as a platform for social innovation...
 After reading a few hours about Don Tapscott thoughts on government, I want to share some highlights on governing by network with you:   Why do we see the same institutions that produced the current mess as the source of solutions and stability in the future? Why do we take most of the old assumptions about how the world works for granted? Let’s call for a complete rethink of the top-down...

Free agent vs The Organization Man

The Organization Man: an individual, who ignored or buried his own identity and goals in the service of a large organization, which rewarded his self-denial with a regular pay-check, the promise of job security and a fixed place in the world. They had lowered their sights to achieve a good job with...

Argument, logic and truth as perfect thinking
Schools, universities, thinking was in the hands of the Church. The Church did not need creative / perceptual / design thinking, but argument, logic and truth with which to prove heretics wrong. So argument, truth and logic became the core of our thinking in culture, in education and in the operations of society (law). Creativity and inventiveness were left to individuals but never came part...

When ideas have sex
You need to understand how ideas have sex. And what we’ve done in human society, through exchange and specialization, is we’ve created the ability to do things that we don’t even understand. What’s relevant to a society is how well people are communicating their ideas, and how well they’re cooperating, not how clever their individuals are. Because through the...

It makes sense to put people first
In most cases it makes sense to put people first. At the end of the day, people - not industries or even places - should be our biggest concern. Larg-scale top-down government projects to revitalize communities don’t work and do more harm than good. Instead of spending money in megaprojects invest in education and skills of people, invest in local assets and improve quality if place. It...
