A New Innovative Way To Find Solutions

• A partnership of Aboriginal communities and leaders, private sector and government is being formed.
• Forming new ways to engage Aboriginal youth through improving the quality of life in their communities.
• Using and advancing a systemic, creative, participative social technology for solving high complex problems.
• Starting in British Columbia with the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council and then to the prairie region and a third initiative to be identified in another region of Canada.
• The Indigenous Leadership Development Institute Inc. and Governments in partnership with Generon and Synergos has identified the engagement of Aboriginal youth as a Leadership Initiative. Generon,www.globalleadershipinitiative.org

Approach To Solving Societal Problems Is Radically Distinctive

Who will do the problem-solving work:

• Leaders from all three sectors: governmental and inter-governmental, Aboriginal communities and business organizations.
• Stakeholders brought together with experts and authorities.
• Business role: building better community relationships, capacity for complex problem solving and assisting to build the work force of the future.

Summary Of Strategy To Change The System

• Challenge: the many initiatives and actions of governments and some private sector are not achieving economic and social parity nor engaging Aboriginal youth.
• Response: bring together leaders of all of the key stakeholder groups, from governments, business and community based organizations and Aboriginal communities to understand, develop and implement breakthrough systemic innovations through the use of a new innovative social technology.
• Objective: to engage youth through creating healthy communities.
