Ifyou pay attention throughout the day, you will see that your thoughts are constantly floating on waves of shifting values. While your thoughts govern your conscious actions, the underlying values directly influence your unconscious behaviors, like shifting in your seat, checking your email, getting up for the fourth cup of coffee. What I am calling values-streams are technically called the “intentional-motivational state” of a person. Some of these have homeostatic functions designed to regulate the body. Most of them, however, are part of a complex system which generates our affective tone, emotions, and meaning-making processes.

Emerging in response to the need for a scalable way to make inclusive group decisions during the Occupy movement in 2011, Loomio, an activist-driven tech co-...
In an ever growing effort to help organizations reach higher levels of self-organization we’ve mapped key factors to track where you’re currently at, and what you can strive for, in your maturation level of self-organization. Download Date: August 2015
Agile suggest teams to self-organize their work. The questions arise what self-organization is and what organization can do to make it possible for teams to become self-organizing.
Principled Leadership from Otto Scharmer "The current crisis in higher education has three characteristics: it's overpriced, out of touch (with society's real needs), and outdated (in its method and purpose). But the solution, a true 21st-century model of higher education, is already emerging: it's free (or accessible to everyone), it's empowering (putting the learner into the driver's seat of profound personal, professional, and societal renewal), and it's transformational (providing new learning environments that activate the deepest human capacities to create -- both individually and collectively)."
People live along different values. The more diverse the more tolerance we need to invest to get along. Historically, there have been repeated attempts to teach values, by fiat, conventions and basic laws. Companies go through so-called corporate image processes to define their value systems. Various crises have provoked calls for a global debate on values. The Ethify values represent a reasonable lifestyle, free from any denomination.
“…The time is past due for new forms of association to be created that can steer the world away from its destruction through commodified exploitation. The greatest hacks of our time may turn out to be forms of organising free collective expression, so that from this time on, abstraction serves the people …” M. Wark
Congress Refugees are also digital trailblazers; the use of smartphones and social media are essential both for their escape and for everyday life in their new homes. For voluntary refugee aids, digital tools are also of great importance. The Civil Society 4.0 conference aims to network the many initiatives and projects.
We never had people managers at UX studio. As creative workers, freedom is very important for us. The biggest fear our team-mates had according to growth is having less impact on the company as an individual. We like hierarchy when we talk about visual hierarchy, but not when we talk about organizations. We always wanted to build an autonomous, self-managing and self-organizing team.
For the last 2 years, I have been traveling around the world, working with and learning about social innovation and collaborative communities working on social change. My core inquiry in this time has been around catalytic moments in society — and how we can leverage them to create intelligent, ongoing collective action.
Autonomous and horizontal workers’ movements in Greece embarked on a caravan to Athens to remind the SYRIZA government of the base from which it arose.
What is Ethereum? Can this technology actually support the establishment of a utopian, free, and decentralized society? Or could it instead promote a more dystopian vision of society – or even a Skynet? Before we can understand anything about Ethereum, we must first understand Bitcoin: what it is, and how it works.
How are we to conceptualize and actualize the radical potential of progressive social movements – let alone the possibility of revolutionary social change – at a time when everything around us seems to regress to a brutal despotism and outright barbarism?
Governments are so accustomed to dictating their will, through coercion if necessary, that they find it unimaginable that people might willingly – and with creativity and enthusiasm – self-organize themselves to take care of urgent needs. So pause a moment to behold the remarkable Zaatari Refugee camp in Jordan. This settlement of 85,000 displaced Syrians is showing how even desperate, resource-poor people can show enormous creativity and self-organization, and turn their “camp” into a “city.”
