Brian’s “Intention Statement”
. . . coordinating our shared experience in a way that
helps move us as individuals (and a group) from ego-
system to eco-system functionality”.
1 - Current situation : The key challenge I’m
currently “up against” is . . .
7
Brian’s “Intention Statement”
Well . . . I hope we'll be able to see (and better understand) how this move from "ego" to
"eco" involves operating systems.
2 - Stakeholders : How might others (i.e. stakeholders)
view this situation?
8
Brian’s “Intention Statement”
Right! But what does that mean exactly? How,
or why, does a 4.0 operating system
function as an "eco-system"?

stakeholders) view this situation?

Brian’s “Intention Statement”
As a part of my own learning process then, but
within a meta-integral (theory) context, I'm
currently exploring what it means to design
second-tier distributed networks.
3 - Intention : What future am I trying to
create?

"This paper subsequently explores prospects that by better attending to the conscious processes by which we derive
meaning, an ontogenic emergence of co-creative awareness might serve to inform
remarkably new modes of thought and system design across multiple disciplines including learning, leadership, economics, and governance" from "Toward Integral
Economic Democracy".

Brian's Intention Statement
5 – Help : Where do I need input or help?
The going typically gets toughest (e.g. loneliest) for me as I approach the bottom of the "U" where
one generally encounters the "voice of fear".

Brian's Intention Statement
5 – Help : Where do I need input or help?
If someone in the group sees me either exhibiting or engaging a "defense
mechanism", I'd invite them to conduct an inquirey as
compassionately as they're able.
