Transformational Leadership in the Justice Sector: Innovation and Values for Change
The sponsors of the project intend to revolutionize the justice sector in Colombia through transformational leadership using accelerating exponential technologies based on a deep foundation of shared values. The advance of new technologies allows us to solve the greatest challenges of humanity, but innovation and new technologies will only be a fundamental engine of progress and change if they are framed within a clear value system.
The initiative is focused on strengthening organizations and institutions that form the justice sector in Colombia with a combination of three key elements:
Leadership and Strategy
Techonology and Innovation
Culture and Values
Working closely with project sponsors & allies in the judicial sector with the direct commitment of the presidents from the High Courts, Fastrack Institute will facilitate the exponential technologies and innovation aspects of the initiative via the Fastrack process. We will take into consideration the achieved advances and also the initiatives on course on this particular matter and we will be generating synergies with the parallel work of the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformational Values, which will focus on the leadership, culture and values aspects of the initiative.
The Justice Fastrack will be conducted in Bogotá, a vibrant city on its way to establishing itself as the leading city in the region. It is a city full of charismatic and hard-working people; The initiatives that will be generated will take into account the point of view and contribution from the local leaders and particularly the colombian judicial actors.
The process
The Fastrack process has uncovered several key opportunities to be addressed, as expressed by individuals and stakeholder groups participating in the AWAKE and ALIGN stage working sessions where transparency & efficiency have been prioritized:
1
Perception of trust in institutions
There is a great opportunity to increase the perception of trust in institutions (including the judicial sector) that will ultimately generate social, economic and technological growth in Colombia.
2
Congestion in judicial proceedings
The technological infrastructure of the judicial sector should ease the congestion in judicial proceedings, and it is an investment that must be continuously reviewed and increased.
3
The risk of lack of confidence and transparency
The judicial system in Colombia has many positive aspects but there is a need to monitor the risk of lack of confidence and transparency that could negatively impact certains sectors of the country.
4
Automation of extensive manual processes
With technology and automation of extensive manual processes the judicial system can be made more efficient.
5
Accessibility and organization of information
Accessibility and organization of information needs to be a priority in the judicial system in order to facilitate decision-making in terms of administration, governance and logistics and transparency; it could be extended and made more open and inclusive to the different parties involved.
6
Justice reforms and to monitor them
There is now a good opportunity to implement effective justice reforms and to monitor them effectively.
7
Strong synergy between institutions
Education is the pillar of the judicial system and only through a strong synergy between academia, the judicial sector, the business community and all the stakeholders, better results can be achieved.
The identified problem statement and opportunities will be validated with the Advisory Board of key stakeholders in the region, as the framework for the next stages of the Fastrack.
The progress
Bogota, a land of brave, intense and smart people wants to move forward. The Fastrack Institute is here to contribute.
