Intersectoral Integration
Different sectors such as government, law, policy, industry, academia, etc are a feature of a disintegrated world, where sectors and disciplines handle each aspect of civilizational progress. The trouble is that the disciplines/sectors have ineffective communication protocols to other disciplines/sectors, and may lack enforcement mechanisms. In most cases, it is likely that incentives may be misaligned, because each sector's interests are different. This is a shortcoming of complex, disintegrated industrial societies. Integration is the solution.
OSE's core concept is integration. Integration is in OSE's name: ecology. Ecology is the interaction of systems and species, natural and human-created. Ecology in our name refers to a broad definition of ecology, as the interaction of parts in their environment.
What is intersectoral integration? Some examples across design-engineering-build-legal-financial-governance
- Design includes ab-initio calculations related to performance and safety safety is included in the design phase, not as a third party regulator. Regulators transition to ab-initio engineering work for safety issues. Open software and protocols are created, decentralizing the regulatory system. As such, design and regulation have been integrated and optimized, with best practice shared openly. A prerequisite is open design
- First principles engineering is included in house to optimize design, as opposed to following generalized design which may be not relevant in a specific case.
- Education is included in manufacturing orgs, which effectively start their own 'universities'. Prerequisite is open design, for the education to be not a silo, but part of an open ecosystem.
