Where communication and media are central to social and economic development

Warren,

Your suggestions A-G are a fine practical example of the Integrative Improvement approach I have been advocating in development circles for some time, most recently in the article A NEW APPROACH TO DEVELOPMENT at:
http://topics.developmentgateway.org/ngo/rc/ItemDetail.do?itemId=1030221 .

The difficulty is that virtually all people with the power to make the overdue change we seek have been trained on the basis that we live in a world of parts that must be managed into a stable state or moved from one stable state to another by top-down managers trained to think unintegratively rather than integratively. This is an obsolete approach. Our current scientific understanding of the world is that it tends to be self-organising with human beings whose minds are naturally integrative.

The Integrative Improvement approach originated from my development experience some decades ago. It seemed to me then and even more so now that each individual involved needs to change the way they have been trained to think - hence my low-cost process for doing this.

Kind regards,

Graham Douglas
