While the tools of the Fourth Industrial Revolution cloud-services, geospatial imagery, mobile phones and digital platforms are now indispensable, the rules governing how they can be most effectively used for natural disasters remains underdeveloped. But what exactly is a distributed data escrow? Before a disaster happens, a community of public, private, NGO and local community stakeholders would identify a set of typically-unshared knowledge assets such as maps, status reports, equipment inventories, registries and even personal information with data-subject consent that they agree would be shared in a pre-structured way - but only in the event that objective disaster indicators such as specific flood levels, wind speeds, or Richter scale thresholds reached pre-specified levels.
From a trust and accountability perspective, the permitted uses of these shared knowledge assets would be predefined in this new type of escrow and be based on the principles of openness, transparency, fairness and accountability. The oversight over who, how, where and when knowledge assets could be used and when the rights and duties would cease would be agreed to in advance of crisis situations. Legally, stakeholder duties spring into action and cease based on precisely defined trigger events that are compliant with local laws and regulations.
For affected communities and individuals, the distributed data escrow agreement would be vetted to gain meaningful consent from individuals to ensure their rights and duties as both data producers and consumers were understood and supported. This innovative approach for improving how we prepare for disasters is not a pipe dream. Some of the foundational attributes are already being applied within the insurance industry. For example, many of the Caribbean countries recently affected by hurricane Irma and the earthquake in Mexico have introduced insurance that is structured to accelerate the recovery process.
Make no mistake. Establishing trustworthy public-private data flows for disaster preparedness will be challenging in practice. An entangled set of technical, privacy, market, regulatory, competitive and operational risks all constrain the use of commercial and governmental data in atypical contexts.
A community of committed practitioners is needed to start prototyping these agreements now. Those actors are now collaborating with the World Economic Forum and have the intent to pilot these approaches in real-world settings. The need for faster response times, deeper understandings of complex situations and the ability to address human suffering with greater leverage of scarce resources is only going to increase. Community-based, distributed data escrows are a means to those ends.
Improving our agility and responsiveness to the increasing number and severity of natural disasters is not optional — it is a matter of survival and resilience. We need to get to work on how we might innovate to use the data, insight and knowledge generated from the Fourth Industrial Revolution to prepare for natural disasters.
The views expressed in this article are those of the author alone and not the World Economic Forum. One-on-ones can change, but coordinating a new time for more than three members is a nightmare. And trust me, when you're trying to achieve your dreams, you don't need nightmares. Figure out what works for your team. Maybe a full-team meeting each Tuesday morning with a check-in session on Friday afternoon will work for you - but you won't know until you try.
Reducing the number of decisions you have to make each day is incredibly freeing, as it clears up the mental space needed to focus on the most important projects within your business. To start, make a mental note of things you're doing multiple times each day, and think about whether or not you'd be just as successful if you just did them once. Listen to Tim Ferriss and limit the number of times you look at your inbox each day.
Try out productivity apps. Some will work for you and some won't. It's a simple thing, but it saves me time and lets me keep my focus elsewhere. If you're doing payroll manually, automate it. If you're still doing staff schedules and business reporting by hand, automate it.
The more you can automate, the less time you spend thinking about what you're going to do, which can make a world of difference in your productivity. You don't need a "quote of the day" or morning energizers to inspire your employees. Hard work, open communication, and regular check-ins but not too many will go a long way towards keeping your team working effectively. There's a business case for investing in being a more inspired leader, so commit now to doing what it takes to encourage and engage your employees.
Good work is hard work, but it should be rewarding. Check in with yourself and make sure you still love what you're doing. A while back, I battled an epic case of burnout.
