> Dear colleague,
> 
> The Hertie School of Governance in Berlin is conducting a survey on governance innovations, which is part of our annual Governance Report. The aim of our survey is to identify new ideas, inventions and trends in contemporary governance, which have the potential to deeply affect the way in which governments, private corporations and the nonprofit sector are managed and how they deal with new challenges.
> 
> We would like to invite you to spare 5-10 minutes to tell us about one or more governance innovations that you think should be included in our Report. These can be global, national or even local examples: what matters is that they can bring about significant change if adopted, replicated and diffused. If you would like to see some examples, please refer to the document attached to this e-mail.
> 
> Our definition of governance innovation is intentionally broad, in order to encourage creative thinking about potential and nascent trends. We define a governance innovation as:
> 
> 
> 
> A new proposal, practice, tool or process affecting the way in which public authorities, private corporations and third sector organizations contribute to addressing a particular policy concern.
> 
> Since our focus is on challenges/concerns, we are particularly interested in innovations in one or more of the following fields:
> 
> Governance processes (general)
> 
>  *   Transparency and accountability
>  *   Decision-making processes
>  *   E-governance
>  *   Relationships between governance of public, nonprofit and corporate organizations
> 
> Governance of current challenges
> 
>  *   Economic (fiscal governance, monetary governance, social investment, employment, sustainable business)
>  *   Social (social equity, migration, education, social services)
>  *   Natural resources (extractive industries, climate-change related forms, energy and water, agriculture and food)
> 
> Therefore, we would ask you to:
> 
> 1.       Please identify one or more interesting cases of governance innovation in your field of work or research.
> 
> [WRITE HERE]
> 
> 2.       Briefly describe the main aspects of the innovation/s and the reason why you deem it/them of interest.
> 
> [WRITE HERE A SHORT DESCRIPTION]
> 
> 3.       If you have additional information (e.g. flyers, papers, or annotated outlines of the selected innovations or a link to a website), please include it in the text or attach it to your response.
> 
> We would greatly appreciate if you could respond to us by replying to governanceinnovations at hertie-school.org by November 30th, 2011.
> 
> Thank you in advance for your participation. We are sure that your contribution will make our Report particularly interesting to policy makers, scholars and opinion leaders the world over.
