Settlers of the Shift

By John Moravec | 12/13/2009 | Filed under: Innovative Thinkers

New World Order 2.0

I like conceptual maps –tools for illustrating the relationships among ideas– and, Tero Heiskanen created an interesting one. It’s huge. Without any further commentary:

Settlers of the shift is an open map of experts, organizations and ideas that are scattered around the globe. It’s for people whose work is shifting us towards a better tomorrow – a New World Order 2.0. This map aims to encourage people to connect across sectors and enable you to tie partnerships with like-minded individuals.

And:

Six values are suggested as a common backbone for the partnerships:

Justice: fair and honest treatment of everyone involved

Co-creation: synergistic dialogue and collaboration

Meaningfulness: solutions to problems worth solving

Generosity: giving time and resources for the sake of giving

Dignity: acting in a respectful and ethical manner

Abundance: denying artificial scarcity and limitations

(Thanks to Pekka Ihanainen for sharing this find!)
