What is the Problem: In the ComplexiTimes of 2015 old hierarchical organizations can no longer cope. (Napoleons Army) Closed, Simplifications

§  Too many levels of management §  Decisions Too slow (reaction time) §  Inward looking Command & Control §  Endless meetings, present/approval §  Filtering (bits, simple, good news) §  Upwards information (aggregates) §  Downwards: instructions §  No overviews, no explanations §  Could not communicate with lower layer employees §  NOW WE CAN !! §  (networked transparency)

§  Central Overview (model) Too simple §  Out of touch with reality (bus. process) §  Confirmation of “working” model only

(prejudices); Push R&D à market §  Cannot cope with unexpected surprises §  Vulnerability §  Organization does not Learn, innovate §  Talent and creativity wasted §  Does not scale up well §  Cannot cope with diversity §  Middle management, admin jobs ?? §  Competing silos, power struggles, non

sharing, does not work. §  Both young & innovative ignored, excluded

Weavelet  Network  Structure  for  P2P  Collabora7on  An  ecology  for  ‘P2P  Commons’:  fast,  resilient,  co-­‐crea7on  

Derived  from  Cooley  Tukey  algoritm  for  fast  orthogonal  transforms  by  Jaap  van  Till  2013  Such  connec7vity  can  lead  to  ”Collec7ve  Intelligence  with  Distributed  Authority”  JvT  (CC)  

Weavelet  Network  Structure  for  P2P  Collabora7on  *  Can  scale  up                                                            in  a  fractal  way  

The  “Weavelet  P2P  Commons”  works  like  a  LENS  for  paUerns,  including  unexpected.  •  Every  point  is  connected  to  every  other  point  •  All  knowledge  is  availabla  everywhere  like  in  a  hologram                          JvTill  (CC)

 NEED    for  the  Synthecracy.org    movement  :  other  projects  (like  the  above)  that  start  to  implement  parts  of  the  Weavelet  way  of  Collabora7on.  I  will  be  happy  to  lecture  &  come  and  explain  it  further,  so  you  can  share.
