Any Steemians Into Sociocracy/Holacracy/Teal Business Paradigm

in #business7 years ago (edited)

Good evening :)

I was wondering if there was a community of practice here on Steemit to connect with on the topics of self organization and self governance, Teal Business, etc? 

I am part of a community and project that is very much interested in creating social architectures which can help the planet self organize into a living organism.

From the GlobalGEA Website:

Social architecture is the conscious design of an environment that encourages a desired range of social behaviors leading towards some goal or set of goals. As such, it includes all of the domains in what we call Generative Design, i.e. Context Design, Technological Design, Environmental Design and Social Design. While it is crucial to approach social architecture with wholeness-centric mindset, at this time this website primarily focuses on Context and Social Designs. We will rely on the growing community of GlobalGEA allies to contribute their deep expertise in other areas of Generative Design.
Two crucial elements of social architecture are Stories (i.e. our inner and outer conversations, our visions, our dreams, our fears, our metaphors, our beliefs, our values) and Structures (our roles, rules, principles, objectives, strategies, our built infrastructure, even our language.) An effective social architect is able to choose the Stories and Structures that best support social system leadership in turning a Sad Face system into a Happy Face system. An evolutionary architect strives to help leadership adapt their Stories and Structures in ways that imbue the system with the capacity to continue to evolve toward ever-improving well-being of all life affected by that system. 

For us, it's the 'thoughtware' that informs the software. 

We believe the planet is about to transcend anything resembling 'business as usual' where a new lifestyle emerges for synergistic co-creation. A world where people follow their bliss and in doing so, are able to access all of the prosperity and resources traditionally associated with 'earning a living'. 

It's super exciting to have now discovered Steemit, the blockchain/crypto world is obviously already on this train of creating the world we want live in, and disentangling ourselves from what has come before, from banks to governments, etc-- We have finally arrived at the moment where 'his-story' becomes our-story.

Sort:  

Yes. Let's get a group going to discuss Teal Orgs and a future road to human decency.

@fozzyb -- do you how we might go about starting/curating/catalyzing something like that on Steemit? I am new to the platform and not sure where to begin that type of thing here.

@bretawarshawsky I don't know how to do that, but we should definitely do it!

I've just joined steem and am very interested in sociocracy and teal business structures. I'm also interested in not for profit foundations.

In my opinion, decentralisation of power equates to a maxim my uncle, an industrial plumber taught me:

Diltution is the solution to pollution.

To me this encapsulates my perception of how the concentration of power into the hands of a small few is exactly the same as something like mercury being harmless when spread throughout the environment in tiny amounts, but when it is concentrated it becomes poison.

Hi @jonathan.davis -- nice to meet you. I'm fairly new here too. I'll see if I can figure out how to start a thread or trail or some way of creating community around the topic.

Fantastic and thought provoking article, do share more as you go along
