The #DesignTeamProcess -- A Local Community Empowerment Tool

The great benefit of having a set of timeless, universal, and irreducible values and subsequent ethic and morality is that we can use them in analytical formats as the Design Team Process to design social processes, new social theories, and to test cultural, ethnic, racial, and gender assumptions, and existing social theories. 

Several key elements are needed to produce the synergy of The Design Team Process: 1) The “Design Team” that is composed of 5-11 team members; 2) Specific roles of team members provide functions within the team to gather their collective intelligence during the inquiry process;  3)  The “Social Sustainability Design and Validation Schematic” that guides their inquiry and can optionally be used as a “moral compass;” 4)  The seven innate and universal values of Homo sapiens; and, 5)  The subsequent ethic and morality of those values. 

The Design Team Process provides a continuation of the traditional, long history of town hall meetings that uses a rational and synergistic process to gather the intelligence of small teams of local citizens to create solutions for common community, societal, and political problems. 

The Design Team Process is fundamental for sustaining the legitimacy and effectiveness of the democratic process and the survival of democratic cultures. 

Fortunately, the product of Local Community Design Teams can be shared with other Design Teams in democratic nations via the Internet to resolve ongoing social, political, and financial-economic problems and to resolve related issues.  

The goal is to design socially sustainable social institutions that exist similarly in those nations, and to design organizations so that they, too, contribute to the social sustainability of those societies for the great benefit of all future generations.
