Last week I facilitated a workshop in Detroit hosed by Co-Act , a nonprofit collaboration space in Detroit. Co-Act is a unique organization, a hub for accelerating collaborative action in Southeast Michigan’s nonprofit community.

This vision is inspired by the rapid emergence of generative AI technologies, such as large language models (LLMs) that power chatbots like Bard , and new generative media models like Google's Imagen , Parti , and MusicLM.

Most participatory projects were short-term, siloed innovations, not institutional transformations. And in several cases, the projects constituted "empowerment lite" for participants rather than true collaboration, co-creation, or transformation. It upped the stakes on change--something a funder could not provide alone.

I believe in transparency in all language use--whether the words are familiar or new. In early 2014, we developed a set of five engagement goals: Relevant, Sustainable, Bridging, Participatory, Igniting. There are many different forms of engagement with many different outcomes depending on your goals, your project, or your institution."

Using audience research and even participatory design, where we engage end-users in early-stage design, we help organizations break out of their own internal ways of communicating. Along with language and information architecture, design decisions can help break down and structure content in a way that’s more easily consumable.
