7. COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE APPLIED TO
POLITICS
(for non-digital natives)
1. Problems mapping: share information to understand all critical
issues
2. Collection of proposals to solve identified issues: discussion and
comparation of different solutions
3. Final evaluation: vote to decide the better and more appreciated
solution
4. Pilote local test, direct engagement of all shareholders, and
simulations of impacts/side effects
5. Develop law writing process thanks to crowdsourcing
6. Presentation of law to the institution
