Occupy as a new societal model and ways to improve it

Occupy is modelling a new socio-economic political system.

And there are a number of facilitation techniques that could help the flow in this system, things like Open Space Technology, World Cafe, Theory U, Appreciative Inquiry, Gift Circles, Heart Circles etc.

Here is an article by me looking at how these facilitation techniques can be used at Occupy to help it run better.

And not only run better they actually subtly change the socio-economic political process... For different facilitation techniques leads to different governance and ways resources flow

But after thinking about it, they made complete sense. For example:George Washington was ranked in the top 40 of all time. Understandable. But the reason why ... not so much. You…See More
