Reimagining governance to better reflect the complexity of today and to engage with the trends of tomorrow.

About us

Our Hub engages with contemporary and systemic approaches to consider what governing could look like in a complex and changing world. We seek to build a community to harness collective intelligence to engage with the tough questions and practicalities of transforming governance and policymaking. We do this by fostering a space for reflection, co-creation and experimentation, and by disseminating what we learn.

This is learning that draws on decades of work from urban activism to democratic innovation, and will continue to evolve as our practice does, so feel free to reach out to Oli to ask questions or share your feedback.

    What’s next for democratic innovation? Democratic innovation and digital participation: reimagining institutions for the 21st century Societies face many pressing issues and trust in our political and democratic systems is at an all-time low. Advances in participation methods and digital technology are presenting a new mode of governance. Initiatives such as citizens’ assemblies and participatory budgeting are bringing people together to make critical decisions and reshaping the relationship between government and society. https://lnkd.in/e5aiXVgw

    Have you read the book "Skin in the Game" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb? Actors – per Taleb – must bear a cost when they fail the public. A fund manager that gets a percentage on wins, but no penalty for losing, is incentivized to gamble with his clients' funds. Bearing no downside for one's actions means that one has no "skin in the game", which is the source of many evils. This idea also had huge relevance for politics and the public sector in general.

    Just what we need in the public sector "systems leadership". Graphic from this paper on "Developing a Systems Thinking Lens for Collective Leadership" https://lnkd.in/gBPvf4B8 "The purpose of this paper is to share some concepts informed by systems thinking to support policy-makers to bring a systems- informed lens to their work. It puts the practitioner-leader at the centre of their own practice and encourages them to reflect critically on their positionality, as well as the lens they use to understand and intervene in complex issues."

    What is the role of "games" in helping us reimagine public services and find new ways to do policy? How do games help us visualize and interact with systems? This article discusses "Game design as a policy-making method" "Systems can be described with images, text and sound. But most systems are not static sets of interrelated parts. They are constantly moving. This is where games are uniquely powerful at setting systems in motion. A game is a playable model of a system (real or imaginary). Its rules describe the system’s elements and their relationships. Its win and lose conditions set the purpose of the system. But a game only really exists when it’s played. Players bring a game to life, and (in most games) they have agency to make choices that will have meaningful consequences on the system." Read the article here: https://is.gd/WivYTa
