Living Labs
Open Living Lab Days 2025, a conference for Living Lab practitioners from around the world is upon us, and I'm in Andorra to explore three lines of enquiry.
Place
Can we really be Place-based if we only pay attention to the People who live there?
Work
The lichen-ous current state of my work and community life, and what's coming for the rest of the year.
Systems Practice
What value does an innovation orchestrator create, and what are the future aspects we need to address to increase their effectiveness?
Regional innovation doesn't just happen. Exploring the role of orchestration in regional innovation ecosystems - beyond the Lab.
Systems Practice
Funding and frameworks for a world in transition - session recording, reflections and exploration
systemic investing
Join us for a timely exploration of difference types of finance, funding and investment suitable for tackling complex challenges faced by communities in Australia and Canada.
Social Labs
Most people have never experienced a social innovation lab, so how do we talk to these people about what they do and why they're useful?
Social Innovation
The Future of Labs 2024 Gathering Report is out! Find out more about what happened and the recommendations for social (innovation) labs from 65+ practitioners who gathered in Canada to explore the future of lab practice.
systemic investing
Systemic investing is a promising complement to impact investing - moving from single point impact funding to a coherent portfolio logic to fund connected systems change initiatives and ecosystems.
Complexity
Ecotone organising offers a promising approach for fostering collective action on complex challenges. By creating spaces that are independent of existing organizational structures, we can cultivate hybrid cultures, shared capabilities, and flexible governance.
