Description

This book is driven by the desire to explore what could be the condition that can optimize innovation for sustainable social change. An approach that can positively influence behaviour for a long time. There exists a strong belief that people are at the centre of sustaining change and are able to do that using the systems so devised and implemented. In the conceptual framework presented, openness/transparency is fundamental as it allows stakeholders to understand the underlying assumptions and build trust. It has a built-in consultative process that provides a platform from which networks can be created, and these networks provide forums that can be utilized to share ideas and create a common vision. The sharing of common vision has benefits that everyone pulls together in creating and shaping the future. Hence a systemic approach is used because it ensures that all important drivers that shape the future are considered. These drivers would span the landscape from political to socio-economic to technology.
