[Thread - it's *framework* time! 🧐] As we're thinking about the future of government at @CPI_foundation and as we're exploring the shift from *enablement* to *empowerment* (see image) we've come across a couple of great "from-to" models. Here are some of them:

1/ @NewCitProj's table showing the shift from subject -> consumer -> citizen (citizenshift.info) cc: @jonjalex

2/ @Civsocfutures's PACT model - Power/Accountability/Connection/Trust (civilsocietyfutures.org/resources/) cc: @juliaunwin

3/ @piawaugh's four paradigms:
- #1: Central to distributed
- #2: Analog to digital, human to machine
- #3: Scarcity to surplus, closed to open
- #4: Normative to formative, compliant to creative

(Do take a look at the entire excellent presentation docs.google.com/presentation/d…)

4/ @AndreaSiodmok's "From 'best practice' to 'next practice'" ()

5/ Jim Olhoff's and Michael Walcheski's "linear vs. systems thinking" chart (thesystemsthinker.com/wp-content/upl…)

6/ @jeremyheimans and @henrytimms "old power values VS. new power values" (hbr.org/2014/12/unders…)

7/ @swardley's "pioneers, settlers and town planners" model (blog.gardeviance.org/2012/06/pionee…)

8/ @ProfJohnKay’s table from his book on “Obliquity”

9/ Machinebrain v Gardenbrain from “Gardens of Democracy” by @ericpliu and @NickHanauer

10/ Table of conceptual shifts from “Gardens of Democracy” (see previous tweet)

11/ @CollaborateCIC's "complexity-friendly vs. NPM" table (taken from this report: wordpress.collaboratei.com/wp-content/upl…)

12/ And another one for the collection:

13/ @Easier_Inc's "from accountability to responsible practice":

14/ John Seddon’s (@VanguardMethod) description of the difference between “command-and-control thinking” and “systems thinking” (p. 58 in “Systems Thinking in the Public Sector”)

15/ John Seddon’s “purpose - measures - methods” under command & control thinking and under complexity thinking (p. 68 in the book mentioned above):

16/ ~~ quick interlude / update ~~ our latest thinking on what we’re now calling the ‘shared power principle’ (because ‘enablement’ seemed to passive) is here: resources.centreforpublicimpact.org/production/201…

17/ @noreenblanluet's (of @copronetwales) "Public service operating principles" (do read the post here: medium.com/@noreenblanlue…)

24/ @HilaryCottam‘s 20th C Welfare vs 21st C Radical Help (from the excellent „Radical Help“ book)

@HilaryCottam 25/ @CollaborateCIC's "shifts for a collaborative mindset" from their recent "manifesto for a collaborative society" (wordpress.collaboratei.com/wp-content/upl…)

@HilaryCottam @CollaborateCIC 26/ ...and four more "shifts" from the same @CollaborateCIC manifesto (there's also a fifth on p. 17 of the doc but Twitter won't let me add another screenshot)

@HilaryCottam @CollaborateCIC 27/ "Implications of a systems approach" from the 2011
@instituteforgov working paper on "System Stewardship" (instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/default/…) by @mhallsworth (h/t @DyfrigWilliams)

@HilaryCottam @CollaborateCIC @instituteforgov @mhallsworth @DyfrigWilliams @CodesignLab_AKL @noreenblanluet 29/ ~~ Interlude 1~~

Our @CPI_foundation Shared Power Principle cards describe 4 shifts:
- hierarchy -> subsidiarity
- transactionality -> relationships
- target-driven mgmt -> redefined governance
- 'what works' -> continuous learning

They can be yours! sharedpowerprinciple.org

@HilaryCottam @CollaborateCIC @instituteforgov @mhallsworth @DyfrigWilliams @CodesignLab_AKL @noreenblanluet @CPI_foundation 30/ ~~ Interlude 2~~

The 'Manifesto for Better Government' which we've recently shared builds on many of the ideas expressed in all of these 'from-to' frameworks:
