Sixth Generation Governance

I really like people talking about governance and discussing the weakness and strength to develop an ideal governance system. Why people like to discuss governance? I think the main reason is people want to grow and develop. Every one who talks governance may not understand what governance is and how it is strengthened but one thing is sure that they know the out come of best governance is always development, better wealth and prosperity to the society.

I always have one question in mind. Does the person occupying leadership role in an organization, state or globe understand what governance is? Probably yes or may be no.
I guessed mixed answer considering the reality of the globe and the problems people are going through in these society. Some country are developed like USA and still facing the problem to serve its members to some extent hand to mouth and generate wealth/prosperity and some are very least developed like Somalia and their member too facing their own type of hand to mouth problem.

If the governance can solve this problem why these country though at different education, wealth, and development stages are Facing almost same type of problem though at a different context? Does it mean that governance is not a solution? Or it means there is lack of governance in both the context. I believe most of the people will agree on the fact that there is no substitute of best governance to lead a society to wealth and prosperity.

This means only the best governance can discipline the people and organize resources towards the betterment of the community. If so why do not we have best governance yet? If we see the human, it has come through thousands of years but why we failed to develop a best governance system that can lead the world towards prosperity?

I thought about this matter and I found the main reason is the fast changing world. The world and its society changes so fast, every thing we built today becomes redundant the other day. We bought cloth for winter but nature changes gradually to summer making our external body protection system redundant. We readjust ourselves for the summer, it changes so fast that before we ready to govern one challenge the other challenge comes. This shows that we are subject to change and the governing system we build should also be such that it can automatically adjust the change. I believe this could be the major reason we are globally failing in the same way though we are at the different context.

In order to build a strong and adoptive governing system the designer should really be brilliant and should have tracked all the past activities so that a reasonable prediction can be made to develop a system to protect fast changing environment. This will at least helps to protect the world from repeating the failure of governance at least from routine and expected changes.

Time has really come we build up our next generation governance system which at least protect us from some expected and predictable threats. The next level will be the 6th generation governance system that not only protect from past behaviors but also from newly created challenges by doing analysis on threat through its highly active bio-digital intelligence and promptly reacting governing action protecting the society from evil eye and mall function. I believe this will become possible in today’s growing context as the globe is getting squeezed in to a palm. If we use the right technology with right attitude I do not think absolute governance can reach beyond our palm.

  1. thought provoking article. here is the secret though: both internal as well as external auditors are two sides of the same coin. until the two are treated the same - both to be by legislation and not by choice in the case of internal auditors - fraud and corruption will remain rampant, signifying poor governance.
