Social Innovation
Hello Canada
Exploring the beating heart of social innovation in Canada in 2024, and exploring the Future of Labs.
Experimentation
Fieldnote: Visualising Experiment Portfolios
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 Horizon
Inspiration from the EU Horizon Fund showing us what's possible when you mainstream applied, trans-disciplinary, ambitious research projects.
Experimentation
Furthering Experimentation Practice - Part II: Process & Pathways
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.

Capabilities for living labs and impact ecosystems - Part 1
What are the core capabilities needed for living labs and impact ecosystems? Field notes on a capability model.

Living Labs: recommendations for enabling collective action on complex challenges
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?
Work
Towards Net Zero and a return to 'Labs'
Exploring how to support net zero transitions, whilst also powering up Monash's work with living labs - a significant work transition for 2022 & beyond!
Work
Towards collective action for a safer climate
We know that the coming years are crucial for taking rapid collective action if we want to minimise the damage caused by our own actions. It feels important to me personally to bring my skills and experience to the table professionally, having spent the better part of 15 years exploring
