Strategic Governance and Crisis Resilience Guidelines for Public Policy and Institutional Change

otherPrototypeTRL 2Thin data (2/5)

Imagine a city that had to change all its rules overnight because of a giant storm. This work looks at how those emergency rules can be turned into permanent, better ways of running things. It's like a guidebook for leaders to make sure the new rules are fair and actually work for everyone in the long run.

The business problem

What needed solving

Organizations and governments struggle to transition from emergency 'reactive' crisis management to sustainable, long-term institutional resilience. There is a lack of empirical evidence on how to change policies without losing democratic legitimacy.

The solution

What was built

A knowledge hub called the PanDDemiC portal and a model for designing multi-level mini-publics for democratic deliberation.
