Backbone for Intersector Cooperation
CONVENING A NATION
Written before the age of Trump, which adds a lot to these concerns....
***
In the context of
- polarization
- rage
- mistrust
- accusation
- congressional gridlock and paralysis
- national vulnerability
and under conditions of
- massive information overload
- historically unprecedented complexity and rapid social change
- wide-spread economic disruption and uncertainty
- national brain-fog
where
- hierarchical systems are failing
- neighborhoods are fragmented
- people in separate sectors or "silos" cannot understand one another
- national debt looms over everything
- the two-party political system is dangerously self-serving
- the national media profits by encouraging polarization
- millions of voters are willing to believe total nonsense
we identify
- major sectors of national society where creative and visionary innovation is emerging
- specialized skill and expertise
- innovative new ideas
and we synthesize
- universal standards for ethics, drawing on all contributing perspectives
- network connections between creative sectors, organizations and individuals
- innovative approaches to collective decision-making
- a new vision of integral and holistic collaboration and co-creation
which we believe can lead to
- the emergence of optimal and highly ideal new forms of democracy
- a culture of enlightened unity-in-diversity co-creation
- a new era of civilization guided by and held within wholeness
- a resolution or amelioration of thousands of problems in society
- renaissance
INTGEGRATING A HIGHLY DIVERSIFIED ALLIANCE
These bullet-point motivations are taken from the mission statements of an existing alliance that supports collaboration across boundaries. In this intersector network design, these motivations can be individually selected in an a la carte way. This process precisely defines overlapping motivations.
