Abstract

The optimization and sophistication of traditional concepts for the modernization of state and administration have reached their limits. We need a manifesto for the agile development of state and administration. Parts of this manifesto could be

•   the ongoing analysis of the eco-system of the state

•   multiple and flexible standards and processes

•   precautions for volatility in order to build up resilience

•   impulse for change and mobilization

•   organization and cultivation of platforms for exchange and future development

The aim of this manifesto is to achieve thrivability in the face of turbulent developments instead of sustainability.

Keywords: Future-oriented development of the administration, strategic agility, resilience, thrivability
