Improving Conditions in The World

How should people organise themselves to improve conditions in the world?

Democracy has the potential to support optimal conditions in the world. The increasing gap between rich and poor shows that there is potential to improve how well the democratic process is being applied. Assessing how well government, Non Government Organisations and private enterprise are responding to the needs of the majority would improve accountability to the people they serve. Identifying areas of weakness allows the wider community to take greater ownership of how to more accurately identify issues and take appropriate actions. This level of empowerment would help to decentralise decision making and encourage people to live to their fullest potential.

Managing Projects

TECHNOLOGY AND CHANGE

Information and Communication Technology can dramatically improve decision making, especially in dispersed teams. It takes a lot more than shiny new toys to change behaviour though, so plan for it at the start.

Interview Preparation

GET A JOB

Packaging information can support other people to make a better decision. This might be to accept your advice, or in the case below how to frame why you are the right person for a job.

Setting Goals

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Setting goals is easier when it is known what exactly will be achieved by accomplishing them. Winning a new trophy might make the collection look good in the pool room, but it’s how it makes you feel that counts.

Listening to people

Welcoming input from others to share a decision opens a door of creativity which an individual will rarely come up with on their own. It can easily become a Pandoras Box though if disagreement is not anticipated and addressed early.

Better filing

Storing information in a consistent and robust way makes it easier to find in a hurry. This can prevent duplicating work and support better informed decision making.

Better Holiday Planning

Planning your own extended trip takes some work but can give unique and unforgettable experiences. Having a clear idea of what you want these experiences to be from the start makes organising it all much easier.

I'm the CEO

Providing an executive team with ownership of an organisation can lead to increased innovation, satisfaction and outcomes. All it takes is a willingness to let people learn from their mistakes and work with them to develop their skills.

Information management

Doing research on a problem or it’s answers is just the start. Information needs to be sorted in a meaningful way to make it of any value for making better decisions. Especially for ones that affect more than just you.

Finding the meaning of life

A clear direction in life will help you get the most out of it. If you are still looking for an answer to the big question “Why am I here?” it may be worth answering some smaller questions first.
