Governance for the Future: An Inventor's Toolkit
Governance for the Future: An Inventor's Toolkit
@GovFuturesLab #ReConConToday’s governments are using 18th century tools to solve 21st century problems. These failures not only perpetuate suffering today, but also ripple through time, constraining choices for generations to come.
But while governments remain stuck, people are evolving. We are witnessing the rise of a global movement to rethink the relationship between citizens and governance. Now is the time to explore the widest range of future possibilities and to reimagine society for an age of planetary challenges and human responsibility.
This toolkit will lead you through a governance design process and help you become a more effective social inventor. Start with the four steps—investigate, re-think, design, prototype—then continue designing, testing, and iterating new forms of governance where you see opportunities.
On April 26-27, 2013, the Governance Futures Lab hosted the ReConstitutional Convention, convening a community of social inventors and innovators passionate in designing and creating new governance systems. To view the resulting prototypes, go to reconcon.govfutures.org.
