4. Mankind at a crossroads -
Virtuous regulative cycles
versus destructive forces

5. An interdependent journeys perspective
How to cope with
 Climate change
and environmental
degradation
 Mis-information
and hate speech
 Neo-imperialism
landscape
sectors
people
&
business

6. Accelerated localization of knowledge
in “every journey’s change”

7. What are enablers for
a talent explosion?
Organisations
Sectors
Landscape

8. Societal architecture – extent & principals
The societal architecture is a reference architecture¹¹⁶ that recognizes multiple levels of
scope and socio-technology¹¹⁷ in society and its transformation (SlideShare)¹¹⁸.
Level What used to be Societal architecture guidelines
Pico (person) little awareness of how
self fits in whole
be knowledgeable of hashtags for important
aspects of life & adopt Household journeys for
the #SDGs
Micro
(organization)
little awareness of how
success builds upon
meso& macro-level
distinguish between the cooperative &
competitive aspects of business success and
give both a balanced attention
Meso
(federation)
in developing countries:
little attention for this
level
give ‘‘fair’’ federations the attention and
resources they deserve
Macro
(society)
little participation by
stakeholders due to
communicative hurdles
overcome communicative hurdles by using the
internet & social media also in a smart and
disciplined way

9. Societal architecture – domains & systems
Domain and typical interactions and systems at meso and macro level
Level What used to be Societal architecture guidelines
Meso
(federation)
Federations have been created ad
hoc and coexist in a (partly)
competitive mode
guideline: evolve towards “one
federation/space per ISIC or CPC
class”
Macro
(society)
Each agency has its own website
and communications channels,
without consideration of how
the individual in need will find
up-to-date information that is
relevant to his or her situation
now
Explain the use of ISIC / COFOG / CPC
classifications alongside wiki
functionality in finding & placing
information; and apply it for all
government communications, as
well as for supporting governmental
initiatives

12. Restoring
balances for
sustainability
 Remove “social order
hurdles” to information
access
 Make semiotic flows X-time
more productive
 Reduce the material
footprint of societal
services

13. Information access driving transformation
capacities
Accelerated creation of online
content in more languages
