Where trust livesInstitutional recoveryPublic institutions regain trust through performance, transparency, and accountability.
The workforce modelDistributed partner workforceContractors, community organizations, universities, and creators do more of the work.
- Defining characteristics
- 1. The role of the university is changing -- with educational offerings becoming more accessible and less expensive, universities need to clearly articulate their value. 2. In this scenario, we are living in a constant ethos of adaptation. We do not rely on doing the same thing over and over, we value a comprehensive and inclusive approach to understanding the world and collaboratively working to make it better. We see less assumed power across government and corporations, connection is held with the people.
- Central theme
- This scenario speaks to a future where connection is kept and fostered by the people and isn't lost to political system or corporations. There's a responsiveness to how and when we need to adapt and we can do that because we can see institutional recovery take place due to our distributed partner workforce.
- The new normal
- The role of governmental public health could shift to new roles due to the more distributed public health workforce. In this scenario, work would align with partners based on strengths.
- Broken assumption
- Public health isn't driving for more money and more staff, but rather deeper connections, more effective programs and greater accountability.
