Community involvement in the fight against COVID19----may result in getting back to normal faster!
- Businesses or local institutions can quickly work with the community to come-up with fit for purpose COVID-19 environments, shops ,schools etc obviously operating within the authorities guidelines as minimum!
- Communities operate in the 'May I help you ' mode as default guided by the do unto others................
- Communities are made up of different professionals who can quickly contribute their knowledge in the present circumstances.
- Community policing may be more effective than institutional....community involvement in the fight against crime has been proved to be effective. The same structures can be used in the present circumstances.
- Communities have been searching for 'normal' for sometime!
- Communities response to crises are guided by 'minimum risks for myself and my neighbour'
- Community response to crises is blind to religious, political and other 'non-essential criteria'
- Community leaders are not appointed ,they emerge!
- Communities have unwritten code of conduct ,just like friendship.

4 年We’ve seen a lot of ‘Street-level bureaucracy’, in community responses to COVID19, which has resulted in every member of the community having a say in community activities. This is a model businesses can adopt when instilling an innovative thinking culture in their organisation - ‘everyone’s contribution counts’
