Philosophy
After reading Bullshit Jobs, it becomes self-evident to me that the first step to avoiding bureaucracy would be to start with meaningful jobs. Here mission and purpose is key, with clarity on theze topics being most fundamental. Thus, the first step ant bureaucracy is to propose a coherent mission, philosophy, and teleology that keeps people engaged within bounds of meaning, freedom, and self-determination. This implies that ethical work and Life-Work Integration can be the only way perhaps to sidestep bureaucracy. This is also a high alert for Bullshit Jobs - how what we decide to do with our lives is important. Which means starting with how we design society to function in the first place. This is something that everyone must have a say in - if we are to create a democratic society.
Then we can talk about lean, agile, Agile Waterfall, flat management, The Effective Executive, etc.
Practical
Though possibly useful for preserving the core as in Good to Great, bureaucracy without built-in mechanisms for change is a deadly disease because the only constant is change. Any documentation or process that servers for organizational learning or improvement is NOT bureaucracy if it is designed to be implemented - it helps the evolution process. Bureaucracy with no provision for change is death.
To minimize bureaucracy, OSE proposes:
- Start with a philosophy of meaningful existence and purpose on this planet
- Collaborate openly and inclusively. Maximize the Open Sector for providing goods and services
- Develop Universal Basic Assets to the highest extent possible, to eliminate manipulation of people through access to their basic needs
- Cultivate a mindset of Abundance and its practice, by Learning How to Learn to achieve personal and political transformation towards responsibility
- Level the playing field in enterprise by normalizing improvement towards best practice through open collaboration and sharing
- Develop abundant money and economic systems, so these key sectors are not enforcing scarcity
