Core truths

All local problems require effective local action

Local action depends on trust

Trust depends on the interaction of citizens & government

All local problems and responses are connected

All steps forward require building local trust

Local trust often requires national support and strategy

The big lessons

8

Definition is essential Getting the right solution is hard if you’re looking at the wrong problem—or can’t agree on the problem you’re trying to solve

Transparency is the core of communication

It brings clarity to the response and builds trust with citizens

Leadership is collaboration

Unity of effort brings co-production of outcomes

Mission is the driver Success comes with reconciling opportunity with competency

Trust is the foundation Social contract comes to life in the response to problems
