Social Engineering - Technology Addressing Global Issues (GY)

This project aims to:

1) Research and develop a value-based strategy for addressing today’s significant challenges

2) Create an Agile-like framework for addressing, documenting, and designing implementations to meet the challenges

3) Implement the framework/platform to address at least one major challenge.

Note: Thus is a multi-year project.

Sample Statement of Work (SOW) – to be refined
The primary goals (SOW) are to:
1 - Research existing solutions to solving local and global issues facing nations and the world (people not government oriented), and identify key values (based on Maslow and research work being done primarily in Israel, Denmark, and Sweden)
2 - Identify and document the best practices
3 - Develop a unique model based on Agility/Scrum, community (commons) - from proposal and approval to implementation
4 - Create the implementation framework
5- Test the concept and design with "real-world" problems
6 - Implement a project, assess its quality, and recommend changes.
