DEEP Objectives and Process

Objective: Designing Enabling Economies Policies (DEEP) is an annual event to dig more deeply into emerging complex or “wicked” problems and opportunities that require multi-perspectival collaboration and insights from a diversity of participants, especially participants who may be left out of but profoundly affected by decisions.

Format and process: Interactive pleanary sessions that invite all to participate. It is assumed that attendees accept the goal of inclusion and the importance of inclusive participation and will contribute to a meaningful debate about innovative strategies to accomplish this goal. Information about successes and failures will be recognized as equally important. Sessions are designed to facilitate the greatest interaction possible.

Participants: Anyone concerned with and interested in proactively creating a more inclusive and diversity-supportive society.
