Social Innovation
What is the role of the "Lab" in the current landscape of approaches to change? What are the core practices and structures to make Labs effective? Where are the potential overlaps, differences and opportunities of connecting to other approaches which are evolving around the world?
Social Innovation
Exploring the beating heart of social innovation in Canada in 2024, and exploring the Future of Labs.
Experimentation
Let's talk about Experimentation Portfolios. Visualising an array of experiments to see active and latent potential to shift systems through living labs, mission-oriented innovation and challenge precincts.
Living Labs
Inspiration from the EU Horizon Fund showing us what's possible when you mainstream applied, trans-disciplinary, ambitious research projects.
Design
How does Codesign relate to the Sustainable Development Goals? My talk for MIG2024 explored Codesign, Complexity and the SDGs.
Systems Practice
Together with UNDP Innovation we explored how to make complex ideas, systems and portfolios, tangible.
Experimentation
A rigorous experimentation approach (experiment-to-learn) will most likely outperform planning-based approaches (analyse-to-predict) where the challenge is dynamic and ever changing (i.e. any complex social and environmental challenge). This post explores how to do experimentation for change.
Experimentation
Lately I've been thinking about the capabilities, process and frameworks needed for effective change work, as a continuation of a theme which has run through my work for 10+ years now - experimentation.
Field Notes
What are the core capabilities needed for living labs and impact ecosystems? Field notes on a capability model.
Living Labs
How can we create the islands of coherence, the vehicles for co-investment, and create the dojos for the kinds of practices we need to tackle collective action challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, or mental health?
Field Notes
Exploring the role of relationships, trust and mutualistic approaches to change.
