Channeling the Dynamics of Emergence Issue #133309

Tapping into the pockets of change, getting into the cracks were new things happen, by amplifying, spreading possibilities and matching them with needs... by accelerating diffusion, adoption and tipping points...
If we assume that scaling of structural/institutional innovation and value change happen in a loop, bootstrapped by human/technology feedback system within the people/software/hardware network, then critical to the transformation are the initiation of the loops and their diffusion, distribution. This means activating and accelerating meaning making and adoption. Narratives, visualizing possibilities and resources and change in the making, represented and in mind, are a factor of pull and acceleration. And there are more socio-technical things to be done here. Could we imagine things like sharing protocol/process/system at the individual innovation initiative level to plug or aggregate into something bigger, and metamining aplications to pull relevant info once some intent is formed? If we are talking of values change and adoption of new ways "willing" people need to be able to access and understand possibilities, be inspired enough to intent action, feel empowered enough to carry it out, and enabled enough to achieve and diffuse the innovation by spreading it actively or by imitation.

Excerpt / Summary
In it's simplest terms, bootstrapping means use what you build to boost your own effectiveness – it's the expectation that anyone working on an important aspect of boosting our Collective IQ capability will seriously push the envelope through their own experimentatal usage of their work product(s) (see About Bootstrapping). This feeding the gains in Collective IQ advancement back into the business of improving Collective IQ is the essence of bootstrapping — not only innovating the way we work together to solve important problems, but innovating how we innovate the way we work together to solve important problems. 2a

Bootstrapping, while a powerful innovation accelerator in and of itself, is even more powerful as part of the larger Bootstrapping Strategy for boosting our Collective IQ.
