About the Forum Foundation[edit]
PURPOSE: Conducts futures research in the field of Administrative Theory and Many-to-Many Communication technology to discover those dynamics which tend to move organizations and institutions, universally, toward solving their problems and anticipating or adapting to changes in their internal or external environment.
CONCEPT: The basic organizing principle of the human race in the historic past has been the Authoritarian Hierarchy, A>B>C>D..., (authoritarianism and dictatorships)--it provides no checks or balances in governance and minimum societal incentives. Research indicates that the basic organizing principle of the human race actually is the Participative Heterarchy, A>B>C>A, (i.e., Administrators over Bureaucrats over Citizens over Administrators, freedom and democracy)--it provides checks and balances in governance and maximum societal incentives in civilization building!
SERVICES: The foundation is primarily in a research mode and not a service delivery mode. It is interested in applying the Fast Forum® groupware technique using an "Opinionnaire®" and "Viewspaper®" to assist leaders to "talk" symbolically with constituents and for them to "talk" back. This assists in (1) diagnosing system problems as a first step in solving them, (2) learning through the dynamics of the Socratic Method by individuals and organizations participating, and (3) moving organizations and individuals participating toward organizational and societal peace. Some limited grants are available to support services to organizations interested in participating in the research. States, cities, schools, and organizations interested are invited to apply.
