Design Epistemology Defined by the formula 'design is the alternative to tradition.' When we work under design epistemology, we no longer consider ourselves as objective observers of reality, but as conscious and responsible participants... DK Under design epistemology, The GcG becomes like 'changing the flat tire,' i.e. as the obvious next thing to do

Epistemology Foundations for knowledge work; what the creation of truth and worldview is based on Epistemology is ripe for an uncommonly large change — can you see The GcG, and whatever we may be able to accomplish together, in the light of a new set of fundamental assumptions and resulting priorities and values?

Innovation The key difference between an invention and an innovation is that the latter involves changing the practice (or in business terms the success on the market). Otherwise both are intended to make life easier or better, and the work more effective or efficient. Hence we talk about 'systemic innovation,' which accomplishes those same goals through real-life systemic change (see the Vision). DK?

Iteration A period of time during which a project team (1) decides what it will complete by the end, (2) executes that plan, (3) demonstrates to itself that those objectives have been met, and (4) holds a retrospective
Iterative A method of working together based on iterations (typically multiple)
Journalism There is an ambiguity here: When we talk about 'journalism' we really mean 'public informing.' We don't make this distinction explicit, because part of our journalism game is exactly to make a switch from journalism as a traditional profession to journalism as public informing (a key systemic function).
key point an insight that is likely to trigger a sweeping change in the life of a person or community DK
KF Initiative
Knowledge
Knowledge Annealing SH
knowledge federation (when written in small letters) Knowledge federation is (1) organization of knowledge resources analogous to political federation; (2) activities that support such organization. DK Under the design epistemology, knowledge federation emerges as a further evolved counterpart to the age-old philosophical — and academic — quest for the description of the true nature of reality.
Knowledge Federation (when capitalized) Knowledge Federation is "the transdiscipline for systemic innovation." Alternative definition is "transdiscipline for knowledge federation." DK

Leadership We may distinguish it from management. Successful leadership (holding the vision, opening up doors and directions) requires different skills and perhaps even a different way of being than successful management (steering, responding to contingencies).

Value
Vision It's what motivates The GcG. What motivates The Game is a game-changing insight: "It's the systems, stupid!" in a nutshell, and with no intent to be derogatory or critical. This insight reveals an ocean of opportunities.
Vision Quest
Part of The GcG that reveals why the larger-than-life achievements are reachable within The Game; and a direction that needs to be followed to realize them. [DK] It is best to consider this part of The Game as a 'sub-game'. When lots of people are sensitized to the above vision, large game-changing possibilities open up. Click to see some on-going and pending strategic moves.
