The document discusses the shift in economic resources from traditional means of production to knowledge, emphasizing the importance of innovation and collaboration in solving complex societal challenges. It highlights the obstacles posed by siloed institutions and the need for new standards in problem-solving through experimentation and scaling solutions. Additionally, it outlines a structured approach to developing interventions, key partners, and design principles for effective change in communities.

- 4. The basic economic resource – the means of production, to use economist’s term – is no longer capital, nor land, nor labor. It is and will be knowledge. Value is now created by productivity and innovation, both applications of knowledge to work. ! Peter Drucker (1993)

- 10. InstitutionsCommunities Difficult to use talents of people Operate in silos, so remains difficult to collaborate despite technology Decrease of problem solving capacity People better educated and informed, and many want to be engaged Technology enables to collaborate and perform complex tasks horizontally Problem solving capacity on record high PEOPLE TECHNOLOGY
- 11. InstitutionsCommunities Difficult to use talents of people Fewer public resources, often restricted to certain kind of funding Difficult to collaborate, operate in silos Decrease of problem solving capacity People better educated and informed, and many want to be engaged More private capital for social good, and investing it for impact Technology enables us to collaborate and perform complex tasks horizontally Problem solving capacity on record high PEOPLE CAPITAL TECHNOLOGY
- 12. But now the bad news…..
- 14. No more time for band aids Need to work together Solving complex challenges requires innovation
- 15. Understand the problem Space to experiment New solution = new standard Process of Innovation

- 20. Step 3: Scaling and turning new solutions into new standards Pilots Prototypes • Targeted system change interventions • Testing small-scale before scaling • Not just focus on new solution, but also how to change system to scale it (e.g policies, capacity) • Stand-alone interventions • Little incentives to scale • Focus on solution
