“Bringing innovation methodologies into mostly local governments” - Judi Brown
This episode was first broadcast on KCSF in 2016. This episode was focused on Civic Innovation and its impact on our economy, community, and democracy. In this episode, we featured the voices of Krista Canellakis the Deputy Innovation Officer from the City of San Francisco’s Office of Civic Innovation, Judi Brown co-founder of Civic Makers and Susan Stuart Clark the Executive Director at Common Knowledge
More about Civic Innovation - University of Wisconsin professors Satish and Priya Nambisan, says that a trifecta of austerity, complexity, and digital technology has created this new opportunity for everyday citizens to help “co-create” new solutions for solving civic problems in their communities.http://brook.gs/MsUtPU
Susan Stuart Clark
Susan formed Common Knowledge to pioneer “community-driven design,” demonstrating how inclusion of diverse stakeholders stimulates innovative solutions on issues such as housing, health care, the environment, civic participation and financial literacy. She brings over two decades of experience designing culturally responsive communications and engagement programs across multiple sectors and presents frequently about increasing participation of lesser-heard voices. At the core of this successful work is a unique body of knowledge about the properties of local community ecosystems and how communities can increase their collective capacity to identify and make progress on shared goals. Due to their deep reach into community life, public libraries have played a role in many of Common Knowledge’s projects and the California State Library awarded Susan their Champion of Literacy award.
