Democratic Reform (1033 people)  

About

I am currently making a documentary on a form of governance called 'sociocracy' that is for any size and type of organization. Developed in the 1970s by Dutch engineer Gerard Endenburg, sociocratic organizations are efficient, restrict power centralization, guarantee the creation of other bottom lines besides money, treat participants humanely, and cannot be legally bought or sold. It resembles natural systems. This process can also be used on an individual basis.

I think sociocracy is going to be a key part of transforming our sick world into a well one. Please, please, please check out my website at www.beyonddemocracythefilm.com. You could help make an even bigger difference if you would pass this idea on to people you know - especially ones who know a lot of people and who are far away from you.

HI!

I have hosted a number of World Cafés (www.theworldcafe.com) at the Red Cross in our town about sustainability. Have you heard of the World Café? Very interesting experiences! Those meetings got me thinking on democracy and citizen dialogue. Many feel a distance to politicians and leaders and do not get involved. We have to rework democracy to mean involvement. Bowo mentioned that you are doing some work on this.

All the best

Hi Ted. Thanks for the kind note. I have always been intrigued by the sociocracy idea but have not spend enough time to dig deeper. It is only natural to feature such concept in the homepage for the insights it can offer the world. Can't wait to see the finished movie and was wondering whether you have any plan in the future to release the full-length movie online under a creative commons license (after all the business stuff gets done). Best wishes and thank you for being present in WiserEarth.
