some of the principles of the Internet culture are actually becoming critical in creating successful organizations

the Internet culture is setting the foundation for a different way of generating economic and social value.

set of values that I believe are relevant for all organization wishing to reinvent their model to be more successful, attract talent and be more sustainable.

Resilience

more chances to successfully face complexity, speed and unpredictability

Bouncing back is more valuable than being tough.

resources from your network, from outside, rather than stocking them.

establish a circle of trust

Compasses (instead of maps)

through clear principles and transparency.

groups of people can produce a better outcome than single individuals.

post-sale structure

Portfolios (instead of planning)/ Practice (instead of theory)

Prototype, and leverage the ecosystem to fail fast (or scale rapidly).

testing less than perfect products into a receptive and responsive ecosystem

Systems (instead of objects)

the social components, and the interdependence of people, groups and objects.

a new set of currency that will merge the intrinsic value with the extrinsic social components associated with it.

Pull (instead of push)/ Smart crowd (instead of experts)

planning everything excludes the unexpected

keeping the eyes open

Encourage rebellion (instead of compliance)/Constant learning (instead of education)

asking questions and not accepting the traditional answers as given

structurally encouraged to question in order to guarantee future development and innovation

use networks as our primary form of living and working

Tribal; Institutional; Markets; Networks

how we have evolved as a civilisation

network

a form in itself that can address issues that the three other forms could not

Chaordic refers to a system of governance that blends characteristics of chaos and order.

Wirearchy: a dynamic multi-way flow of power and authority based on information, knowledge, trust and credibility, enabled by interconnected people and technology.

Collaboration is only part of working in networks

Cooperation is also necessary, but it’s much less controllable than our institutions, hierarchies and HR practices would like to admit.

In networks, cooperation trumps collaboration

The platform is structured around commons, issues of social, environmental, economic nature,

treated as social objects: the nodes around which social networks are created, conversations and repeated interactions are initiated, new territories explored, meaning and intents shared, learning achieved.

‘pinging of actors’ by ‘citizen-followers’ creates a pull dynamic

will yield conversations, knowledge flow, and feedback loops beneficial to learning, progress visualization, and evaluation

reate a context favorable to collaboration, exchange of ideas and know-how.

The process consists in letting people/organizations:

Select, follow,

Keep informed and track progress

Self assign actor role and communicate/report on self-activity and impact and status of issue.

Share

Find solutions and potential collaborators for action

Select or refer designated actors to acknowledge or request their engagement and action at various levels

participate in the conversation, report on activity and impact

evaluate and rate activity/impact of and trust toward actors' activity, impact and progress.

organize for collective action

garner follower participation

Initiate and participate in conversations, debates, deliberations

The ecosystem is composed of

Common’s spaces

Common’s graph

Progress & Impact or Situation Dashboard

The platform creates a context for the following

Curate the knowledge flow and increase learning

Connect and interrelate people, stakeholders, issues, and knowledge.

Help situate an issue

Define boundaries

Help situate self and others

Identify roles and interdependence between actors and issues.

Visualize the emergent bigger picture

the shared Christian story during the Renaissance

Church, artists, businesses and consumers all contributed to the great rebirth of culture

largely driven by the church and government institutions which we don’t necessarily want to recreate, right?

So how do we achieve the same effect?

The answer is sacred content.

I adopt what I believe in, and if the content is sacred, then it is beyond question.

An authority has determined these are sacred and therefore worthy

The Authority establishes a values framework, a ruling hierarchy directs and stewards the sacred content, and a host of intermediaries that carry it out to the faithful consumers.

We now have a strong distrust of authority, which has lost all legitimacy:

All around us there’s a collapse of the legitimacy of authorities, with much cynicism from the population. There’s never been a greater need for sacred content that can be trusted and deemed legitimate. How to achieve it without authorities? This is where we have to pivot our minds. We have to replace the dynamics of its creation within the authority with something else. This slide suggests an alternative:

We can create a values framework using collaborative culture techniques like community mythology projects. Out of these come sacred content that is legitimate because we created it according to shared values and a collective conscience. We have to put in place processes and rituals to establish, enshrine and communicate it.
