Existutions

Existutions are Indy Johar’s term in Indy Johar: Civilizational Optioneering for unbounded organizational forms suited to large, multi-actor problem spaces. The source contrasts them with bounded corporations or single startups that cannot by themselves cool a city, stabilize glaciers, rebuild water systems, or govern atmospheric risk.

The concept names an organizational gap. Many important outcomes require coordination among policy, civic participation, finance, infrastructure, supply chains, technology, and ecological stewardship, but existing institutions often allocate responsibility through bounded entities and narrow deliverables.

Key Claims

  • Some problems are too large and interdependent for one company, product, or agency to own.
  • Organization should shift from control toward learning when many agents must coordinate under uncertainty.
  • Outcome Accelerators are one operational expression of the existution idea.
