1. The document discusses collaborative governance approaches for addressing complex public issues. It outlines key drivers like "wicked problems" that require new solutions and a "power-shared" world where decision making needs coordination across boundaries.
2. Oregon has evolved a system to promote collaborative governance over 25 years, moving from conflict resolution to project implementation and regional economic development. This included mechanisms like Oregon Consensus and Oregon Solutions.
3. Key elements that helped enable Oregon's systemic shift include investments in programs, leadership, training, and establishing a neutral forum. Building on early successes and persisting despite skepticism also helped collaborative governance take hold.

6. KeyThemes:
1. Powerful drivers call for a new approach to addressing public issues.
2. Collaborative Governance is an approach for the 21st Century that brings
together government with its stakeholders to make decisions and solve
problems.
3. Over 25 years, Oregon has evolved a system t0 promote & support
collaborative governance with significant success.
4. Several key elements helped to make a systemic shift in the face of
skepticism and challenge.
7. Drivers of Change
The traditional structure of
government:
• Agencies run programs to address
a legislatively-defined need
• A budget is authorized to operate
the program or project
• Managers are accountable to
operate the program within the
prescribed budget and
authorization

8. Driver: Growing Awareness we Face “Wicked” Problems: Highly Complex and
Uncertain, Cross Jurisdictions, & Require Multi-Sector Involvement
9. Driver:We Live in a “Power-shared”World
• No single agency has the resources and authority to
address significant public issues.
• Decision-making needs to be coordinated across
geographic, organizational boundaries, and
jurisdictions.
• Opposing forces are less likely to accept decisions
they don’t like.
12. Driver: Public Demands Smaller Government and Economic Downturn
Means Less Public Funds.
13. These Drivers Create Pressure for New Approaches to
Addressing Public Issues for the Realities of the 21st Century
14. Collaborative Governance Defined:
Approaches to bring together multiple
stakeholders representing various sectors,
often across jurisdictional and/or
organizational boundaries in a structured
process for addressing societal/community
needs.

• Goal for new bicycle park in an undeveloped
section of green space within a low income
neighborhood.
• KitchenTable created an on-line mechanism for
potential users to support the project by
contributing to the cost for developing the park
design plan through a crowd funding campaign.
• The partnership between the Friends of Gateway
Green, Oregon Solutions and Oregon’s Kitchen
Table resulted in 512 Oregonians donating over
$123,000 (out of a $100,000 goal).

governance in various ways up and down stream

40. In The Aftermath
• Although logging has declined, the spotted owl population has continued to
dwindle
• Spotted owl now faces competition from the aggressive, non native barred
owl
• Forest health continues to suffer
• Rural communities struggling economically and to retain young people
• Tension and polarization between urban and rural communities continue to
exist

60. In Summary:
1.The structure of government, nature of wicked problems & need for
durable, sustainable solutions are drivers for a new approach to addressing
public issues.
2. Collaborative Governance is an approach for the 21st Century that fosters
shared responsibility, collective agreement & action, & leveraging of
resources.
3. Oregon evolved a spectrum of mechanisms t0 promote & support
collaborative governance with significant success.
4. Key to systemic shift is using desperation and legislative stability as a
foundation for leaders to champion a new approach, investments in training
and programing, establishing a neutral forum, assuring early success, and
persist in the face of skepticism and challenge.
