The Glia Society for Civic Digital Transformation
Bringing Citizens, Governance and Business Together to Solve Civic Society’s Most Complex Challenges: Traffic Is The Beginning
The Big Picture
Cities are the key to the quality of life for more than half the world’s population. Bringing the full power and benefits of digital transformation to cities worldwide will be the most vital collective action we can make to ensure the quality of life for billions of people.
Humanity itself is facing a wrath of challenges, from economic well being, climate change, affordable housing, cultural divisions, and sustainable lifestyles are among the most pressing.
What these challenges all have in common is they are systematic, highly complex, and require a wide and deep diversity of knowledge and peoples to explore and institute systematic change across the planet.
This will require collaboration and collective intelligence among business, government and citizens at an unprecedented scale and scope.
This is the grand purpose of the Glia Society for Civic Digital Transformation.
Traffic: The Binding Challenge
The beauty of solving for traffic, is it is something every citizen, business and government worldwide can rally around.
If we can learn to work together with all stakeholders to solve traffic, we can learn to solve many of the other demanding challenges we face in the coming decades.
We can learn to create and share systematic, holistic value in ways that neither citizens, businesses or governments can create on their own.
Grand Strategy: Ecosystem Orchestration
Only a well designed, developed, managed and governed platform based ecosystem strategically embedded within local communities powered by domain talent networks binded by artificially enhanced collective intelligence can provide the level of smooth traffic flow and value added modes of transportation for for citizens and businesses.
