Researchers can contribute methods, measures, datasets and critique. Educational institutions can provide developmental settings and knowledge about learning. Employers can provide evidence about work demands and organizational design. Governments can contribute policy, administrative and population contexts. Healthcare and support systems can contribute evidence about changing capacity, dependence, recovery and adaptation.

Faith, religious and ethical institutions can contribute longstanding traditions of reflection on character, moral development, responsibility, meaning and human flourishing. Communities and civil-society organizations can contribute knowledge of access, exclusion, support and lived functional realities. Technology builders can contribute the environments and decision architectures increasingly shaping human action.

Collaboration is therefore not endorsement of a finished framework. It is participation in studying, measuring and protecting the shared object.

Join the Consortium

The Consortium is open to institutions and individuals that can contribute to the study, measurement, application and protection of Human Capacity.

The Consortium is open to participation across research, education, employment, government, healthcare, faith and ethics, civil society, technology and other institutions whose work materially shapes human development and functioning.

Participation is organized around what each stakeholder can contribute to the object: evidence, expertise, data, measurement, a population, an institutional environment, a knowledge tradition, implementation capacity, critique or governance.

The aim is a field in which the human is not owned by any one discipline and Human Capacity is not treated only as a resource available to whichever institution can extract the most from it.
