Governance

Sound governance is absolutely efficient production coupled with transparency. Everyone is expected to contribute to an economy. People do things out of internal motivation. This is a rigorous condition of skill and wisdom. Factor e Farm is intended to be an experiment to the contrary of this.

Fellowup Thoughts

• Francois - A bit out of the box: Johan Roos - head of a business school in Sweden, close ties to LEGO and a background in agricultural science. Did an amazing LEGO serious play brainstorming session with us in China in August. Very high EQ. Has worked with all kinds of start-ups and giants...
• Arthur - Is it possible to give people autonomy within very specific areas? "Functional authority" it's sometimes called. I.e. "do whatever you like as long as by Feb you have a prototype hyperdrive built."
• KB - Helene would be perfect, but a little out of the way for her i think. Practically speaking i think you need to separate general trajectory and specific manufacturing sessions
