Radical Trust

Radical Trust

A term “radical trust” is being used to describe a shift toward participatory creation.

“We can only build emergent systems if we have radical trust. With an emergent system, we build something without setting in stone what it will be or trying to control all that it well be. We allow and encourage participants to shape and sculpt and be co-creators of the system. We don’t have a million customers/users/patrons…we have a million participants and co-creators” Darlene Fichter
