I see the world as one big project - the mission being sustainable existence for all.
As with any project, there are a number of stakeholders and there will inevitably be conflict of interests. The challenge in the world project is that there are many stake holders.
The responsibility of managing the project therefore needs to be shared by people not necessarily at the top of the hierarchy. We all have a higher degree of responsibility than we might think.
An important characteristic of a good project manager is their ability to conceive possible situations, to consider and to make contingencies for these.
Here’s a question regarding a likely situation …
How much concern do American's have when allowing for the possibility that the balance of power is going to shift over the next 50 years whilst America continues to be perceived as an aggressor with suspect motives ?
This is a question about how the world will be when America no longer enjoys its current level of control and the world is short of diplomacy and full of weapons. By diplomacy I mean a past and present where fair and peaceful outcomes have been negotiated.
This is not a debate about whether America will or will not survive as a super power.
What do you see the outcomes being and to what degree do you feel concerned to do whatever you can ?
