Democratic Innovation

Local governments often struggle to boost public participation and connect with ordinary citizens in meaningful ways. At Armstrong Strategy Group we provide municipal governments with bold ideas and innovative tools, to transform local democracy.

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the possibilities of multi-partisan collaboration, strong leadership and the power of collective public action. But breaking down cynicism, polarisation and disengagement shouldn’t stop there. It should be fused into our democratic institutions at all levels, and harnessed for other complex issues – including the fight to stem climate change. Collective action more than ever before is required to face the challenges of the 21st century.

Our team includes seasoned experts in the field, who can design a customized plan for your organization. Our unique Open Doors Audit will identify opportunities for democratic improvement and growth for your municipality. From voting reform, to innovative approaches to consultation, to improved User Experience Design and media support, we’ll work together with you to build stronger, more engaged relationships with your residents.
