More coherent / customised suite of engagements from citizens' perspective, instead of being fragmented - perhaps differentiated offerings by life stages/segments, key issues

Different engagement offerings for citizens with differing readiness - civic minded, expression, participation, not one-size-fits-all

Greater safety for people to raise candid views in good faith (i.e. no fear of being 'slapped down') 

Better civic capacity via exposure and interaction with diverse/ opposing views, working with people from different backgrounds

More open and inclusive platforms and support for landing as determined by citizens, and not just G, including for sensitive issues e.g. LGBT, R&R

Greater risk-sharing with partners (incl private sector); autonomy given to partners 

POHs who are more relatable as persons, and not just big G

Agencies / POHs are more open to provide policy and partnership space

Engagement as a state of mind within citizens' psyche
