Subtitle: Leveraging Private Sector Innovation for Lean Governance
Introduction
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the efficiency of government systems is paramount. Addressing redundancy and inefficiency in governance requires a collaborative approach involving both private sector innovation and governmental oversight. This comprehensive plan outlines how a standardized, engineered approach can streamline government operations while retaining essential leadership roles.
The Need for a Standardized Approach
Modernizing government systems is a complex task that should avoid the pitfalls of traditional bureaucratic processes. Governments often turn modernization efforts into legal and administrative exercises, relying on outdated methodologies that fail to integrate modern technology and expert knowledge. Instead, a standardized private sector efficiency design for Western governments can offer a robust solution.
A Centralized Autonomous Organization Model
To address these challenges, we propose developing a standardized, private sector efficiency design for Western governments. This open-source model would function similarly to how the crypto community develops Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). This model, termed a Centralized Autonomous Organization (CAO), would serve as a template for countries to customize, providing a starting point for future government modernization efforts. In fact, there should be both a DAO and a CAO, each emphasizing different strengths and levels of decentralization/centralization.. something to explore and analyze.
Retaining Key Governance Roles
When designing a government system with a focus on efficiency and automation, it’s crucial to retain key elected and appointed leaders who play significant roles in governance. Here is a comprehensive sample list of these leaders in both federal and provincial governments in Canada that would remain:
Federal Government Leaders:
Prime Minister: The head of government.
Members of Parliament (MPs): Elected representatives in the House of Commons.
Cabinet Ministers: Appointed by the Prime Minister, they head various government departments and agencies.
Governor General: The representative of the Monarch, appointed on the advice of the Prime Minister.
Senators: Appointed members of the Senate.
Provincial Government Leaders:
Premiers: The head of government in each province or territory.
Members of Provincial Parliaments (MPPs): Elected representatives in Ontario.
Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs): Elected representatives in most provinces.
Members of the National Assembly (MNAs): Elected representatives in Quebec.
Members of the House of Assembly (MHAs): Elected representatives in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Provincial Cabinet Ministers: Appointed by the Premier, they head various provincial departments and agencies.
Municipal Government Leaders:
Mayors: The head of a municipality.
Councillors: Elected representatives in municipal governments.
Summary
Federal Leaders: Prime Minister, Members of Parliament (MPs), Cabinet Ministers, Governor General, Senators.
Provincial Leaders: Premiers, Members of Provincial Parliaments (MPPs), Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), Members of the National Assembly (MNAs), Members of the House of Assembly (MHAs), Provincial Cabinet Ministers.
Municipal Leaders: Mayors, Councillors.
These key leaders are essential for maintaining governance and administrative functions. The critical ‘citizen authority’ they handle is vital in carrying forward the national vision and building the next reality in Canada based on the needs and requirements of citizens. These human control nodes of leadership should never be automated when creating or improving complex government systems.
A Phased Approach to Efficiency
The proposed Efficiency Board would start as a smaller MVP (Minimum Viable Product), focusing on reducing the easiest clutter before attempting to design the full system. The private sector, despite its flaws, is essential for this task. While many tech companies have issues with design (e.g., Windows) or values (e.g., data collection at Apple, Meta), companies like NVIDIA and AMD respect precision in complex systems design as evidenced by their advanced semiconductors and HPC software packages and efficiency improvement, as well as goals to use high level efficient operating system paradigms.
Leveraging AI and Advanced Technology
It is feasible to design an efficiency framework or process board for minimizing government operations gradually. With engineers of this calibre, it is eventually possible to model a full government system. While the private sector has an incentive for profit, the task requires modelling all government operations and trans-coding them into logic for an AI application. This AI, running on an open-source model like Llama 3 on an NVIDIA GP200 system, would drive government efficiency and modernization.
Conclusion
Solving the redundancy and inefficiency in government systems requires a collaborative approach involving both the private sector and government. By leveraging standardized, engineered designs and advanced technology, we can create lean, efficient, and transparent government systems that better serve the needs of their citizens, using the entire revenue instead for building civilization of 21st century for citizens with humans employed in productivity economy (STEM).
