What is the Problem: In the ComplexiTimes of 2015 old hierarchical organizations can no longer cope. (Napoleons Army) Closed, Simplifications
§ Too many levels of management § Decisions Too slow (reaction time) § Inward looking Command & Control § Endless meetings, present/approval § Filtering (bits, simple, good news) § Upwards information (aggregates) § Downwards: instructions § No overviews, no explanations § Could not communicate with lower layer employees § NOW WE CAN !! § (networked transparency)
§ Central Overview (model) Too simple § Out of touch with reality (bus. process) § Confirmation of “working” model only
(prejudices); Push R&D à market § Cannot cope with unexpected surprises § Vulnerability § Organization does not Learn, innovate § Talent and creativity wasted § Does not scale up well § Cannot cope with diversity § Middle management, admin jobs ?? § Competing silos, power struggles, non
sharing, does not work. § Both young & innovative ignored, excluded
Business Process Reality Complexity

Weavelet Network Structure for P2P Collabora7on An ecology for ‘P2P Commons’: fast, resilient, co-‐crea7on
Derived from Cooley Tukey algoritm for fast orthogonal transforms by Jaap van Till 2013 Such connec7vity can lead to ”Collec7ve Intelligence with Distributed Authority” JvT (CC)
Weavelet Network Structure for P2P Collabora7on * Can scale up in a fractal way
The “Weavelet P2P Commons” works like a LENS for paUerns, including unexpected. • Every point is connected to every other point • All knowledge is availabla everywhere like in a hologram JvTill (CC)
Diversity Of Contributors Sensors
Actuators Ac7ons
Correla7on, matching
Btwieners: 2 in, 2 out Self-‐organizing, learning, rapid response

NEED for the Synthecracy.org movement : other projects (like the above) that start to implement parts of the Weavelet way of Collabora7on. I will be happy to lecture & come and explain it further, so you can share.
