A Fortune 500 Executive's Plan to Fix America's Political System | Paul Chapman | KAJ Masterclass

What if America's political "dysfunction" isn't a democracy problem—but an organizational design problem? That's the question driving Paul Chapman, a former Fortune 500 CIO and founder of the Centercratic Party. His thesis: the two-party system is a 170-year-old monopoly that has, in his view, structurally abandoned 43% of its market. His solution? Apply the discipline of high-performing organizations—clear strategy, member governance, measurable outcomes—to build a fully operational political party from scratch. This conversation is a masterclass in systems thinking, political entrepreneurship, and what it really takes to disrupt a duopoly. Explore the future of governance at https://kajmasterclass.com.
