Better management of projects and communications in the houses of parliament
Summary: Introduce the latest project management and communication technologies
Manage policy discussion much better in the government and use the most modern project management techniques, for example "lean" and "kanban" techniques.
There are two layers to this solution : Basic layer : 1.) better prioritisation of discussions in terms of time duration 2.) only include people who could genuinely contribute to a debate on a certain topic, and don't waste time on including people who have vague knowledge of a topic ( this is a huge problem in all houses of parliament - especially among "backbencher" politicians who don't have an educated understanding of some topics but are invited to contribute ). 3.) implementation of "lean" and "kanban" methodologies 4.) introduction of digital platforms such as message boards and trackers to policy discussions. Too many policies are discussed verbally, and this leads to emotional confrontation which makes some arguments invalid. Message boards ensure that members of houses of parliament will have time to compose themselves and express their thoughts more accurately. If they fail to express their thoughts or opinions in simple terms, and fail to deliver their argument, then their input is excluded. 5.) introduce stricter metrics of accountability to members of house of parliament. With the use of message boards, it will be possible to measure the ratio of input to successfully accepted output. Then the politician will have a better sense of how successful they are and what they need to do in order to improve.
Advanced layer This is completely beyond my skill set, but in the case of Irish Government meeting minutes, it is possible to analyse speech patterns and find patterns of inefficiencies and misunderstanding. This involves knowledge of behavioral linguistics and psychology. Based on those patterns, it will be possible to design a better way to communicate a particular policy and make decisions on it.
Second idea : Online feedback forum/board for citizens
Government should also have an online feedback forum where people could freely complain about things. That feedback forum should only be available to citizens of a particular country and special controls should be implemented to make sure that the complaint is genuine. This forum should also be linked to main policy debates that happen in the government. So feedback from that forum should be linked to tracked discussions inside the houses of parliament, i.e the same system as mentioned under point 4 above.
Ideally, if all government debates would happen in writing on forums, then it would be easier to let the public be involved. However, right now, they are done in the following way, which is inefficient : Your text to link here...
すばらしい、そしてInfinityの最初のアイデアおめでとうございます！ :)私はいくつかのアイデアを1つに見ています。最新のプロジェクト管理手法を使用し、フィードバックと苦情のために政府が運営するフォーラムを作成しています。
「最新のプロジェクト管理手法を使用する」は、「最新」が何であるかが明確でないため、非常にあいまいです。 「ああ、政府にtrelloを使用したり、公共の問題にベースキャンプを使用したりできる」、「政府のプロジェクトに「アジャイル」を使用できる」などの考えがありました。しかし、数年後、「アジャイル」はもはや現代的ではなくなり、「ベースキャンプ」は新しいテクノロジー「X」に置き換えられました。ですから、これについてもっと具体的に言えばいいでしょう。「最高のテクノロジーを使う」というのはアイデアではなく、宿題の問題です。
フォーラム事に関して。それで、本質的に、「苦情のための政府が運営するオンラインフィードバックフォーラム」？まったく悪い考えではありません。実際、私は私の友人から少し似たような考えを持っています。最近、「 A苦情登録！」（市民が法的拘束力のある苦情を簡単かつ半自動的に提出できるようにする）と表現し、それがすることになっていることを政府が行います。実際、苦情は多くの国でサポートされている形の市民からのフィードバックであり、苦情の数が特定のしきい値に達した場合、政府当局は注意を払う必要があります。
Great, and congratulations with the first idea on Infinity! :) I see several ideas in one - use most modern project management techniques, and create a government-run forum for feedback and complaints.
The "Use the most modern project management techniques" is very vague, because it is not clear what is "the most modern". We had thoughts that "oh, you could use trello for government, you could use basecamp for public issues, etc.", or "you could use 'agile' for government projects," and so forth. However, a few years later "agile" is not modern anymore, and "basecamp" is replaced by new technology "X". So, it would be good if you can be more specific about this, because "use the best technology" is not an idea, it's a homework problem.
Regarding the forum thing. So, essentially, a "government-run online feedback forum for complaints"?. Not a bad idea at all. In fact, I have had a bit similar idea by a friend of mine, recently expressed, as -- "A complaints register!" (allow citizens to easily and semi-automatically file legally binding complaints), and make the govt do what it is supposed to do. Complaints are, in fact, a supported form of feedback from citizens in many countries, that government officials are obliged to pay attention to, if the number of complaints reaches certain threshold.
また、より具体的に具体化できますか？これは実際にはどのように機能しますか？システムは国会議事堂でのすべての議論を書き起こし、この政府運営のフォーラムで利用できるようにしますか？それはどのようにプロジェクト管理と統合されますか？これは親の問題を解決するためにどのように保証されますか？
Also, can you crystallize in more detail, how this would work in practice? Would the system transcribe all discussions in the houses of parliament, and make them available in this govt-run forum? How does that integrate with project management? How would this guarantee to solve the parent problem?
私は両方のアイデアを拡張し、それらも関連付けました。さらに質問がある場合は、アイデアの欠陥部分を再考します。
それらを相互に接続することについては、アイデアで言及されたすべてのポイントを試して最初にテストする必要があるため、それを行う正確な方法を確立するには時期尚早です。
I have expanded both ideas, and connected them too. If there are still some further questions, I will re-think the defective parts of the ideas.
As for connecting them together, it is too early to establish exact way to do it, because we will need to try out all the points that were mentioned in the idea and test them first.
ねえ、[Yuri.Brigadir@8E326B69]、
> 3.）「リーン」および「カンバン」手法の実装
議会全体がかんばんになっていると思いますか？ああ、多分:) Infinityの最近のバージョンはその方向に向かっています（http://inf.liをチェックしてください）。
>口頭で議論されるポリシーが多すぎると、感情的な対立が生じ、一部の議論が無効になります。
完全に同意する。繰り返しになりますが、どうなるでしょうか。ブロックチェーンの導入により、これにより、人々が自分の意見を公開および暗号で署名されたメッセージで伝えることが可能になると思います。
2番目のアイデア-独立したものと同じように分離するのが良いでしょう。
Hey, [Yuri.Brigadir@8E326B69],
I imagine the whole parlaments going kanban? Oh, maybe :) The recent version of Infinity kind of goes that direction ( check out http://inf.li ).
Totally agree. That's again, what should happen. With the introduction of blockchain, I suppose, this would make it possible to just let people tell their opinions with public and cryptographically signed messages.
The 2nd idea -- would be good to separate as separate as independent one.
