The Next System Project is an ambitious multiyear initiative aimed at helping Americans think boldly about what is required to deal with the systemic challenges the United States faces now and in coming decades. Responding to real hunger for a new way forward, and building on practical experience with new economic institutions and approaches being developed in communities across the country and around the world, we will use the best research, understanding and strategic thinking to refine and publicize comprehensive alternative political-economic models capable of delivering superior social, economic, and ecological outcomes and put the central idea of system change, and that there can be a “next system,” on the map.

Hello,
I just joined this group because of my interest and work in organizational and community systems. Given that this group is using research and strategic thinking to influence and develop more effective systems and policy, I'd like to point to Holacracy as an organizational "operating system" that is designed for purpose-driven organizations. It distributes authority throughout an organization in nimble and transparent ways so that work can be done efficiently and effectively. Organizations like Zappos, Medium, Conscious Capitalism, Precision Nutrition and others are now "running" on Holacracy, having installed the constitution and trained in the practice of integrated decision-making. You can learn more here: http://holacracy.org/
You can see how holacracy provides an organic organizational structure which can scale easily by visiting here: https://glassfrog.holacracy.org/organizations/5
and here: https://glassfrog.holacracy.org/circles/25
I'm not "selling" holacracy, I simply feel that this is one of the best systems that can be utilized to accomplish the work that we do.
