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...
太好了，並祝賀Infinity的第一個想法！ :)我看到了幾種想法-使用大多數現代項目管理技術，並創建了一個由政府運營的論壇，以提供反饋和投訴。
“使用最現代的項目管理技術”非常模糊，因爲不清楚什麼是“最現代的”。我們曾以爲“哦，您可以將trello用於政府，您可以將basecamp用於公共事務，等等”，或者“您可以將“敏捷”用於政府項目，等等）。但是，幾年後，“敏捷”不再是現代的了，“大本營”被新技術“ X”代替。因此，如果您可以對此做更具體的介紹將是一件好事，因爲“使用最佳技術”不是一個主意，而是一個作業問題。
關於論壇的事情。因此，從本質上講，是“政府運營的在線投訴在線反饋論壇”嗎？一點也不壞。實際上，我的一個朋友最近表達了一個類似的想法，即“ 投訴登記！”（允許公民輕鬆且半自動地提出具有法律約束力的投訴），並提出政府做它應該做的事。實際上，投訴是許多國家/地區公民支持的反饋形式，如果投訴數量達到一定閾值，則政府官員必須注意。
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.
此外，您能否更詳細地說明，這在實踐中將如何工作？該系統是否會抄錄議會中的所有討論，並在此政府運營的論壇中提供這些討論？它如何與項目管理集成？這將如何保證解決父母問題？
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?
我擴展了這兩種想法，並且也將它們聯繫在一起。如果還有其他問題，我將重新考慮這些想法的缺陷部分。
至於將它們連接在一起，現在建立確切的方法還爲時過早，因爲我們將需要嘗試一下想法中提到的所有要點並首先對其進行測試。
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.
嘿，[Yuri.Brigadir@8E326B69]，
> 3.）實施“精益”和“看板”方法
我想整個議會都看板了嗎？哦，也許吧：） Infinity的最新版本就是朝這個方向發展的（請查看http://inf.li）。
>口頭討論了太多的政策，這導致了情感對抗，使某些論點無效。
完全同意。再次，應該發生什麼。我想，隨着區塊鏈的引入，這將使人們可以通過公開和加密簽名的消息來表達自己的觀點。
第二個想法-最好分開作爲獨立的想法分開。
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.
