An investigation
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?
It’s important 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:
1. Horizon scan for tipping points, future opportunities,
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:
Needs
Contributions of knowledge and learning to identify components of behaviour change; case studies, reflection, stories, suggestions, interpretation/analysis
