👉 Institutional engineering refers to the process of designing, building, and maintaining the structures, processes, and systems that govern institutions—such as governments, corporations, and non-profits—to achieve specific goals and improve their effectiveness. It involves understanding the complex interplay of social, political, economic, and legal factors that shape institutional behavior and performance. This approach emphasizes the importance of aligning organizational structures, policies, and practices with desired outcomes, often through iterative cycles of design, implementation, evaluation, and adaptation. By focusing on the institutional context, engineers and practitioners can create more resilient, efficient, and responsive organizations that better serve their stakeholders and address societal challenges.
