Disruptive Innovation
Native Hawaiians have a rare opportunity
The conventional approach is out of date
We need to think about political design in new ways

THIS IS A RARE AND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
HOW POLITICAL DESIGN IS DONE TODAY
What do we have today and how did we get it?
“Today we find ourselves with political systems
based on 18th century philosophy,
run with 19th century administrations,
built on 20th century technologies,
attempting to confront 21st century challenges."
Richard A. K. Lum, PhD

Implications of Our Political History
• Constitution document
• Tripartite government
• Elected representatives
• Passive citizenship
• A society of states
“You won’t get a 21st century design using
an 18th century process.”

REFRAMING POLITICAL DESIGN
Changing the lens in order to see new things
“IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, IT IS BECOMING increasingly clear
that conventional modes of political steering by nation-states and
international regulations are not effectively dealing with global
challenges such as environmental problems, humanitarian
catastrophes, and new security threats.”

Representative Process
All of the design work is performed by the delegates within the Constitutional Convention.
Participatory Design Process
Most of the design work is conducted by the delegates in the Convention.
A select number of issues are given to the full political community to collaboratively design (which the ConConmust accept).
Democratic Process
All of the design work is performed – collaboratively – by the full political community via open design conferences and online collaboration tools.
