Foundational Principles.
Five principles, the questions they raise, and the outcomes that should give them meaning.
Creation of Self TO ONE AS ONE

The role of public support
What role, if any, should government play in helping people understand their strengths, values, and choices?
Define the support you would propose and the limits of government’s role.
Evidence of growth
What observable change would show that people understand themselves and make more informed choices?
Choose evidence of personal growth and a time frame for reviewing it.
Create Value
Opportunity to contribute
What new opportunities should people have to build skills, create useful work, or start something of their own?
State the opportunity this principle aims to expand.

Describe a practical change and who it would help.
Results people can see

Which unmet public need should this principle address first?
Name the people served and the need you would prioritize.
Gaps in public service
How does that unmet need affect people’s daily lives?
Explain the specific hardship or missed opportunity that makes action necessary.
Listening and responsibility
How would you give people a voice in decisions and make leaders responsible for responding?

Service standards
What evidence would show that public service became more useful and responsive?
Choose a concrete standard, such as access, response time, or problems resolved.
Measure What Matters
Quality-of-life outcomes
Which changes in quality of life should determine whether your campaign goals are being achieved?
Select the outcomes that would define success.
Gaps in current measures
Where do existing measures miss what people experience in everyday life?

Reliable public evidence
How would you collect, verify, and share evidence of progress?
Describe who gathers the data, who checks it, and how the public can see it.
Targets and review dates
What baseline, target, and deadline would make each outcome testable?
Give each outcome a starting point, a target, and a review date.
TO ONE AS ONE
