| Shaping agendas to create a "more agile, flexible approach to regulation" to prepare for future crises. | |
The Global Future Council on Agile Governance is one of the World Economic Forum's Global Future Councils. The Global Future Councils serve as a brain trust for leaders from government, business and civil society collaborating in shaping agendas. The Council on Agile Governance is designed to create "more agile, flexible approach to regulation" when "technological breakthroughs across the digital, biological and physical spheres are heralding a Fourth Industrial Revolution."
How this will look practice can be judged by how most governments in the world have removed existing laws, plans and civil rights to implement "a more agile, flexible approach" in the COVID-19 deep event.
Official narrative
Council mission and objectives: COVID-19 has shown that innovations such as telemedicine, track-and-trace apps or drone delivery are no longer simply complementary tools that increase efficiency, but essential to the functionality of daily life, society and the economy and to prepare for future crises. Yet the pandemic has also shown that the regulation of emerging technologies is not flexible enough to allow us to introduce technological innovation quickly.
The Global Future Council on Agile Governance brings together leading experts from business and government to drive regulatory reform that unleashes innovation and drives economic growth. The council is developing a playbook of agile regulatory techniques (e.g. regulatory sandboxes) that governments can adopt to support and stimulate innovation, drawing on best practices from around the world. Next year’s council will focus on developing the role of business in driving agile technology governance in support of government practices.[1]
