Our Philosophy
The Chandler Governance Model (CGM)
Total Game Approach: Building Strong and Prosperous Nations
The Chandler Governance Model (CGM) provides a holistic understanding of national prosperity and wellbeing. As a governance blueprint, it shows how the four domains of governance – political leadership, government, business, and communities – act and interact to architect and build strong nations. It describes the three core elements – societal trust, national identity, and social mobility – that are foundational to national strength and political success. Finally, government policy must support shared prosperity, by providing basic public goods, building marketplace infrastructure and build the conditions required for a creative society.
The CGM is the framework that informs CGG’s work with governments, including the services we deliver to our partners.
The Four Domains of Governance
The CGM defines four domains of governance, each with their part to play.
The Core of National Development
Three core elements are foundational to national strength and political success.
National Development Flywheel
Government policies set the rules for the exchanges and expectations between the social actors within a nation. This is encapsulated in the three blades of the National Development Flywheel: basic public goods, marketplace infrastructure, and creative society.
