Comparison of Wisdom Councils and Citizens’ Deliberative Councils
A Wisdom Council is an autonomous, choice creating process that helps transform the society do which it is a part. People often ask whether a Wisdom Councio can be convened to address a specific issue. The answer is no.

They are all choice enabling processes that can help to make better choices within the existing framework. However, they do not have the potential to transform the society.
