Democracy

The group delivers its recommendations to the decision-maker who has made a commitment to act on the recommendations in some way (publicly respond, or implement recommendations in full).

Vulnerabilities with examples:

  • Political Polarisation: Recommendations being ignored due to political biases.
  • Complexity: Misinterpretation of complex recommendations.

Mitigating Techniques/Strategies, with Examples:

  • Facilitate direct interactions between the assembly and decision-makers before and after recommendations are developed.
  • Simplify complex recommendations into clear, actionable items (focusing on clarity of intent rather then prescribing detailed actions).
