1 PEOPLE ARE DISENGAGED
11% , Well educated, financially well-off, loud voices, couch potato politics
2 EROSION OF TRUST
sentiments ≠ facts, declining trust | in leadership, in institutions
3 SOCIAL MEDIA = NOT THE RIGHT ENGAGEMENT TOOL
Individual over community, popularity contest vs. real opinion, fake news
4 CIVIC ENGAGEMENT MODELS = NOT WORKING
1:4 years, top down, passive engagement, any progress?
5 GOVERNANCE MODELS = NOT SCALING FAST ENOUGH
Common goals  opposition, local issues? Transparency in decision making
DIGITAL AGE | NEW PROBLEMS
6 UNCOMFORTABLE PACE OF CHANGE
New technologies are outpacing regulatory frameworks

PRINCIPLES OF ENGAGEMENT
Collective assessment - problems, design and application of solutions
Robust, Adaptable and Responsive Governance
1 OUTCOME OVER RULES
Governance should favour outcomes over rules-based compliance
1 AGILITY OVER PLANS
1 PARTICIPATION OVER CONTROL
1 SELF-ORGANIZATION OVER CENTRALIZATION
Employ flexible action plans that can adapt to change
open and transparent wide collaboration
≠ check-the-box regulatory compliance
≠ 5 year plans,, legislation driven
≠ rigid decision making by a small group
≠ command & control

Policy | Participate in debate and coordinate regulation | Not the loudest voice
Knowledge | Know what you don’t know | Faster horses?
Delivery | Keep incentives for mass collaboration in mind | Manage behaviours

CO-EXISTING? | OLD AND NEW, FOR A WHILE?
Communities
Some stakeholders have very different cultures
from others. “You can get to a point where you
have transparency in certain things.
You don’t need transparency in everything.
You wouldn’t want to run a bank consortium
necessarily that way, at least, in the legacy
world,”
-- Joseph Lubin of Ethereum

Source: World Economic Forum - 10 Lessons about Civic Engagement
EARN & BUILD TRUST | DECENTRALISED GOVERNANCE
Implement cultural change in Citizen engagement whereby local communities drive the process of
development that shapes their lives – creating more sustainable results by having citizens becoming active
agents.
Empower citizens to make their voices heard and incorporate their voices in decision-making processes,
thus increasing the responsiveness of government programs to people’s real needs.
Enable citizen engagement programs to reach larger impact considering the broader context of
government reforms.
Promote psychological and intangible factors such as sense of civic duty and belonging, devoting the citizens
attention towards the shared interests of both citizens and government.
Promote a collaborative and meaningful dialogue between governments and citizen groups. We help
them work together to develop institutionalized methods of receiving and responding to citizen input.
