Worth a Look: Systems Community of Inquiry
Worth A LookThe Systems Community of Inquiry is an open, worldwide network of individuals interested in systems thinking, the systems sciences and/or systems practice.
Inquiry is “an activity which produces knowledge” (Churchman, 1971). We’re more than a community of interest, but less than a community of practice (Wenger, 1999). Our interactions as a community will (i) foster interactions contributing knowledge and wisdom to the online world, and (ii) cultivate social relationships between systemicists.
Phi Beta Iota: With the publication of Reflexive Practice–Professional Thinking for a Turbulent World, Dr. Kent Myers has emerged as a trail-blazer reconnecting those active in this area with a larger body of thinkers focused on Collective Intelligence and Public Intelligence. Their most recent intellectual forebearers are Russell Ackoff of Penn State University and John N. Warfield of George Mason University. The latest post focuses on the role of negative feedback loops in creating social dysfunction. Red light camaras, for example, have increased rear-end collisions at stop lights.

When police arrested Anthony Graber for speeding on his motorbike, the 25-year-old probably did not see himself as an advocate for police accountability in the age of new media. But Graber, a sergeant with the Maryland Air National Guard, is now facing 16 years in prison, not for dangerous driving, but for a Youtube video he posted after receiving a speeding ticket. |

Phi Beta Iota: A society with a sense of humor would establish a monthly “film the police” day. Such lunacy. When the law gets really stupid it is time to change the law, e.g. it used to be legal to abuse women and people of color.

SearchesOSINT Conference veterans will remember 1997 Pinchot (US) Beyond Bureaucracy: The Rise of the Intelligence Organization. The book, still relevant, is End of Bureaucracy and the Rise of the Intelligent Organization.
Holacracy is new to us, and for that we thank the searcher. While we are skeptical of any single solution, and have spent the last decade engaging with the co-intelligence, open space, and collective intelligence networks, this is certainly worth a look, and is credited to Brian J. Robertson. Here are a few links to bring this concept into Phi Beta Iota.

On balance we'll stick with Tom Atlee, Jim Rough, Harrison Owen, and Peggy Holman, among others. Once you get co-evolution and open space right, the specific organization does not matter and neither do the administrators ostensibly in charge at the top. Epoch B is here, they just have not gotten the memo.
