Description

"The New Synthesis Framework is depicted in Figure 1. It is framed around four vectors. The two vertical vectors help readers clarify the desired public results at the highest level by exploring the interrelationship between public policy results and civic results. These vectors help explore how government, people and communities can work together and share responsibility for producing public results of higher value at a lower overall cost to society. The two horizontal vectors focus on the use of government authority and the reliance on the collective power of society. They explore the means by which public results may be achieved."
