the Crisis Project.

The challenge posed by emerging threats that cross national borders is real. Government bureaucracies have failed to adapt, leaving populations and markets vulnerable. There are no strategies. It is a defining crisis in modern governance. This project aims to resolve it.

The Transnational Crisis Project provides problem solving solutions through the production of policy recommendations directly to governments around the world for the empowerment of local populations in providing sustainable security over the long term. Through rigorous research from the bottom up, the organization leverages a non-aligned, apolitical human network crossing disciplines and national borders. With social networking instruments, synergies with indigenous organizations, and new media technology, the knowledge of locals rapidly meets the expertise of analysts for real-world impact, quickly and efficiently. Rather than relying upon bureaucracies connecting between a limited number of locations, the organization applies a nimble, stateless model called ‘Policy Swarming’, that directly connects relevant individuals around the world to collaborate, analyze, and solve. It is a transnational network optimized to understand and defeat transnational threats; saving lives, and ensuring stability.

Underscoring the importance of individual initiative and a culture of innovation are a range of cellular programs that support the mission of the organization. A Journalist Future’s Project will embed top journalism students globally with indigenous media from Lebanon to Indonesia. Cells will be established in leading universities from Africa to North America to serve as a unique, interdisciplinary global internship program, to infuse operations with fresh ideas and empower the next generation of leaders. A virtual platform for collaboration called CrisisNet will allow a US Senator to speak with a tribal leader in Pakistan or a health official in Nairobi in real time. A powerful virtual network that seamlessly compliments the human network.

An enterprise that stresses its reach as much as its culture of creativity.
