Get the paperback Kindle editionYou cannot build a system around something you cannot measure. LESI is how you measure it.
The Instrument That Makes the System Possible
LESI introduces a way to recognize and measure lived experience, moving it from anecdote to instrument. At its center is a recognition ladder that names what most systems leave unnamed: the difference between putting a justice-impacted person on a panel and giving that person genuine design authority.
From narrative mode at the bottom to fully Rendered LESI at the top, the ladder gives organizations a shared language for how far they have actually gone.
Building on the human story of REINVENTION, LESI turns lived experience into something you can assess, compare, and hold accountable. It is the instrument that makes the trilogy's system possible.
Once you can measure lived experience, you can build the system around it, which is the work of The Durability Economy.
From Speaking to Design Authority
The recognition ladder names the difference between inviting a justice-impacted person to speak and giving that person real design authority.
Narrative Mode
Lived experience is invited to speak. A justice-impacted person is put on a panel and asked to tell the story.
Rendered LESI
Lived experience holds genuine design authority, something an organization can assess, compare, and hold accountable.
Three Books. One Argument.
The REINVENTION Trilogy redesigns justice, workforce, and family systems by moving from the person to the measurement to the system. REINVENTION rebuilds the life. LESI measures what that life has become. The Durability Economy builds the architecture that makes stability durable at scale. Read in order, the three books trace one argument: that the people our systems are built to serve should be the people who help design them.
The Durability Economy
