The most good system visual and stabilization steps

Summary

This post visualizes a wellbeing-based system that progresses toward the most good and overviews steps to stabilize it. These steps are: 1) Implement existing risk mitigation strategies among major stakeholders, 2) Understand wellbeing through research and its coordination, 3) Facilitate institutions’ implementation of wellbeing research, 4) Facilitate reflection on institutional objectives, and 5) Increase participation in the global system if this is significantly reduced.

✔️ Wellbeing occurs in current institutions.

❌ Few institutions use research to increase wellbeing.

Facilitate institutions’ implementation of wellbeing research.

Level 3: Progress toward the most good

Wellbeing-based institutions can progress toward the most good.

✔️ Institutions progress toward their objectives.
