TELOS Framework

A structured approach to understanding problems, defining missions, setting goals, and measuring progress.

P

Problems

The fundamental issues I see in the world that need addressing.

P1

People lack meaning in their lives

  • • Modern society has disconnected us from purpose
  • • Technology often increases isolation rather than connection
  • • Work has become disconnected from personal values
P2

People are stuck in outdated hierarchical mindsets

  • • 1950s organizational structures in a 2020s world
  • • Command-and-control thinking in an age of networks
  • • Resistance to distributed, collaborative models
P3

Humanity is unprepared for AI transformation

  • • Lack of understanding about AI capabilities and limitations
  • • No frameworks for human-AI collaboration
  • • Risk of increasing inequality and displacement
