Civic Square’s motto is that within a time where the scale and pace of change in the country and globally, we need to also move away from a business as usual model. This will require to design out the next business model strategically and with intention in order to make a bold transition into a new economy. All the while ensuring that we design as many local benefits into this model right from the initial conditions.
