John Clippinger
Senior Fellow, Berkman Center for Law at Harvard University
John has a long involvement in the intersection of technologies, markets and social and political institutions. Throughout his career in academia, business and government he has had a stubborn interest in self-organizing systems and how digital technologies can create new forms of social, political and cultural organization.
Over the last two years, he has been researching and writing about how discoveries in the new sciences such as the neuro-sciences, complexity sciences and evolutionary biology and sociology are transforming our understanding of Human Nature, specifically, the role of trust, reputation, social emotions, and self organization in forming effective forms of social and economic exchange. (Renaissance of the Commons, 2003).
As a part of his interest in studying how spontaneous social networks form and adapt, John has been engaged in the design of networked based organizations whereby decision rights are distributed to the edge of the organization and control is achieved through transparency, trust, and reputation, He is co-founder of the Open Source movement, Social Physics, to develop an open peer to peer platform/browser for the formation and governance of self-organizing social networks and is completing a book for the Command and Control Research Program of the DoD on edge organizations, Operating on the Edge: Meeting Current and Future Security Challenges ( 2004).
While at The Berkman Center, John will be organizing multi-disciplinary seminars and workshops on the implications of the New Sciences research on Human Nature in the areas of social signaling, trust, contracts, agency, rationality and choice, property, and norms of social exchange. In parallel he will conduct workshops exploring how to write effective social protocols to enable the emergence of trusted networks of social, cultural and economic exchange.
John has been a consultant on Network Centric Warfare (NCW) and edge organization to the Command and Control Research Program (CCRP) in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Networks, Information and Integration). Previously, he was CEO of Context Media LLC, a knowledge management software and services company and Director, Intellectual Capital, at Coopers & Lybrand (now Price Waterhouse Coopers) where he developed one of the first intranets for knowledge management, CLIC, (Coopers & Lybrand Intellectual Capital) and also headed an Advanced Technology Group in Digital Media. Prior to joining Coopers & Lybrand, he was CEO of Brattle Research Corporation, which developed artificial intelligence, language processing and search software for financial services, publishing, and intelligence applications. He is author and editor of the book, The Biology of Business: Decoding the Natural Laws of Enterprise (Jossey-Bass, 1999)
John’s career has been as a leading innovator, policy maker, strategist and entrepreneur in the application of advanced computer technologies and the recipient of three software patents. In collaboration with a team from the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, he designed the first program to simulate complex, self-reflective human conversation, which led to the book, Meaning and Discourse. (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1977). As a Research Fellow at Harvard University’s Information Resources Policy, he became involved in information policy, the impact of telecommunications technologies and policies on developing countries, privacy and trans-border data flow issues and in the formation of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. He has been the recipient of many awards from the National Science Foundation as well as the Department of Defense, and has served as an advisor to the Department of State, FCC, OTA, and the White House.
He is a frequent speaker at conferences and has appeared on CNN, NPR, CBS evening news, business news radio and talk shows, and in the print media, (New York Times, Computer World, Network, Release 1.0, Wall Street Journal), as a commentator on the impact of new technologies on business.
John is a graduate of Yale University and holds a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. He is a Senior Fellow at the Boston University School of Management’s Institute for Leading a Dynamic Economy, and is a member and regular participant of the Pentagon sponsored Highland Forum, The Aspen Institute, CEO Leadership Institute of Yale University School of Management, and The Santa Fe Institute Business Network.
