7. KF initiates The Club of Zagreb
Knowledge Federation initiates The Club of Zagreb—a redesign of The Club of Rome. The difference between a good strategy and a utopia is that the former takes the balance of power into account. Our next question is—How shall we tip the power balance from favoring the existing systemic solutions to benefiting the new ones? Of course, information technology has proven to be capable to ‘change the world’ (we live in Information Age, after all); still some initial investment of established money or power may in many cases be needed.
The Club of Zagreb is our prototype answer. Technically, The Club of Zagreb is the club of Z-Players. A characteristic ‘use case’ is ‘proactive donorship’ — individuals or institutions with substantial resources, who want to apply them to a good cause, are given an opportunity to invest their power proactively (into improving systems—to make them capable of taking care of problems, and not only) rather than reactively (into mitigating symptoms, while leaving their systemic causes intact).
