In the late 1960s Gerard Endenburg, a Dutch engineer, was running an electronics firm with 100 employees. He wanted to run the company humanely, while maintaining and even improving efficiency and competitiveness in the marketplace. Forty years later, there are approximately 200 companies, non-profit organizations, schools, intentional communities, police departments, hospitals, and other organizations around the world that have used or currently use the methods and principles Endenburg developed.
My film project ‘BEYOND DEMOCRACY,’ has changed. Now I’m planning to tell the story using the comic medium. It has advantages over film in that it is more iconic, i don’t have to get permission to film meetings (someone always objects), is visual yet can use prose, and is cheaper (a little).
It is October, 2011, and I have made a NEW version of my video. I had produced a 40-minute video and a 20-minute version called…
‘Introduction to Dynamic Governance’
or ‘Intro to DG.’ The 40 was a bit disjointed, and the 20 was too bare bones, so I lengthened the 20 and added new interview clips and am now only offering a 28-minute version. This video is the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of DG. They are not training videos. They are not the ‘how,’ for how to practice DG. It is an introduction so you can see what DG is, be a little familiar with the principles, and see how it transforms the people who use it. Here is the trailer.
If you would like the video, please e-mail me at teddidread [at] earthlink [dot] net. I prefer to e-mail an invoice through PayPal. Let me know if you don’t have a PayPal account or don’t want to use it and I’ll give you my snail mail address.
The 28-minute video is $14.95
I was commissioned and paid by Sheella Mierson to make some videos that would help consultants explain DG to potential clients. The idea was to make short videos – under 5 minutes – with these target groups: businesses, healthcare organizations, and schools. We’re trying to get more footage for the schools video, but I’ve completed the business and healthcare ones.
I also posted longer-than-five minute versions for potential clients with longer attention spans. I was thinking people could embed the shorter versions on their websites for people surfing, and, if a consultant was physically with the client, they could show them the longer versions.
