Finland’s Next Laws To Emerge From Online Crowdsourced Proposals

Finland’s Next Laws To Emerge From Online Crowdsourced Proposals | The Next Edge | Scoop.it
From singularityhub.com - October 25, 2012 1:59 AM

Finland now allows citizens to propose new laws online, and if an initiative gathers enough votes, the government must vote on it.


This year, Finland has taken two huge steps to make crowdsourced laws a reality. First, its constitution last March was modified to allow every citizen proposal that collects a mere 50,000 signatures to get voted on by Parliament. In response, a non-profit group of Helsinki entrepreneurs started a website called Open Ministry to allow people of voting age to propose initiatives online. The website uses APIs from banks and mobile operators to confirm identities. Recently, the Finnish Parliament approved the platform after verifying that the electronic identification process is secure.

The Industrial Age is Dead - Time is the New Money

From chuckblakeman.com - October 24, 2012 9:56 PM

The Industrial Age taught us to value money above time. Giant Corporation, Inc. wanted you to focus on making money, not on having time to do anything with it. They needed all your time to run the machines. In the 21st Century we will understand that riches may equal money, but wealth equals freedom – the ability to choose what to do with my time. We will understand that money does not give us freedom, only time can do that.

The other shift that must happen if we were to change this paradigm is Energy Management and not Time Management.

"Quests" as organizing principles

"Quests" as organizing principles | The Next Edge | Scoop.it
From www.managementexchange.com - August 21, 2011 9:16 PM

Summary: "Instead of organizing people into "functions" we may take a cue from some of the greatest games, and organize around "quests". That may sound very designed, but what it means is ad hoc, problem centric organization in which people are allowed to organize themselves around what they perceive to be meaningful, important problems in need of solving."
