==== System Change Experiment ====

(an [[experiment]] from the [[workshop_201503|March workshop]])

===Challenge/Hypothesis===

What traction could we gain as a group if we focus on a single problem? Can we find a common issue to bring our respective resources to? How do we identify a tipping point?\\

===Experiment design===

A pre-experiment investigation to understand what existing approaches have worked, what success factors, tools and motivations are around to create system change.

If system innovation is a set of interventions that come together:
  * is it then possible to co-ordinate a set of disparate interventions (with different theories of change) to deliberately shift a system into a more sustainable state? when are these co-ordinated actions an improvement over individual uncoordinated activities?
  * do levers come together in a way that can add value?
  * what impact could we hope for? How do we measure this?

(Expected) Outcome: 
  * identified issues and tipping points
  * road map of tools, effects and approaches to use and [timings?] united (reflection on what has/hasn’t worked); mapping of the existing system as it is currently understood; uncovering existing alignments and interpreting the findings
  * possible future experiment for a strategic set of interventions or projects designed/TOC
  * framework/survey for structured reflection
  * visual theory of change
  * low tech and low cost documentation
 
=== Implementation ===

  * Ideally everyone can be included at different points
  * Allow common evaluation with some kind of format/criteria (look at past experiences to identify components of a behaviour change [poj.?]

1. Horizon scan for tipping points, future opportunities,
  * WG review of information (like-minded or interested people to reflect/draw out [levering?] and opps
  * help uncovering emerging issues

2. Explore overlap of interests and scenarios for action (Venn diagrams of interests)

3. Go/no go check (feasibility)

4. Architect to design and [innovate?]

Resources:
  * staff time (commission others outside of the group for research)
  * separate meeting
  * buy-in/contributions of learning from others
    * willingness to open up strategies
    * review of potential options to test logic, feasibility, common tipping points and future interest


== Needs ==

  * Contributions of knowledge and learning to identify components of behaviour change; case studies, reflection, stories, suggestions, interpretation/analysis
  * Come to group discussion
  * Buy-in to horizon scanning and where [xxx] to intervene
  * Suggestion of others outside of the group
  * Testing the logic
