Governing Continuous Transformation: Re-framing the Strategy-Governance Conversation

foreign it's December 6 2022 we're in active bookstream number 001.01 a numbering convention that will be explained soon it's a discussion on the book governing continuous transformation by vijayan kazri and I'll pass the blue hi everyone I guess that's my job is to explain the uh bookstream numbering so this is our first book stream that's why it's bookstream001 and this is our first dot zero contextualization video for this bookstream series so each week we will present a chapter ish a chapter or so of the book and then periodically we will get together for the zero zero one dot one zero zero one dot two and so forth those discussion sections so if you want to participate either in a contextualization video or in a discussion video please get in touch with us and we would love to have you um on the stream and I'm blue I've been here before so hopefully you've seen me before and know me by now and I'm an independent researcher in New Mexico and I will pass it off to Tyler first time appearance I think in the active inference Institute so Tyler do you want to introduce yourself yeah cool thanks for having me this is my first time here to actually inference so I have a an unusual background actually don't come from in an academic background at all a lot of it's been about applied governance so I actually started as a strategy consultant working in major corporations more recently it's gotten more to Dow governance I currently lead product and protocol design for the 4K protocol it's a project that is connecting the physical world to the on-chain world and I'm also a contributor at medigov where I think about how we can model these abstract formalisms about governance in a real world setting and so a lot of times when I think about Dow governance but most recently it's been thinking about active inference and implicit implications for real world settings foreign so we are a participatory online lab that is communicating learning and practicing applied active inference these are all of our media links um and we will be recording And archiving this live stream for future reference um everyone is welcome and hopefully we will be following good etiquette for live streams and not arguing or talking over each other for the duration of the book streams um okay so this is our first book stream um our goal is to learn and discuss this textbook governing continuous transformation reframing the strategy governance conversation it's a 2022 book by Bijan kesri and this video like always is just an introduction to some of the ideas not a review or a final word at all so we will just go through here um the sections of this book stream we're going to do the book map and the road map some keywords the preface part one and chapter one will be covered in today's video and in the coming weeks we will be continuing to discuss this so get in touch if you want to partake in these conversations um so I guess we introduced ourselves briefly um oh backwards so if either you guys want to maybe mention something you're excited about or that you liked or remembered from the book from these first sessions um otherwise we can go on to discover it I think we have a lot of material Tyler what are you most excited about yeah I mean I think for me like especially being in like real world organizations non-profits a lot of times we think of like uncertainty as something that could be wished away or something that we're incrementally going to solve like oh if we only were collecting like more information we would be in a better spot or I don't think we had more capabilities this we wouldn't have this problem um but a lot of times we kind of get very anxious about that uncertainty rather than we're an active inference and free energy governance that uncertainty is placed at the center and it's something you could actually take ownership over but also be a source of you know creative uh growth and so I think that's really exciting and inspirational and yeah really…
