It provides a glossary of fundamental vocabulary with examples, along with application of the vocabulary to experimentation and the case … from Introducing vocabulary for TIP experimentation (case study research)

During the pilot year, TIPC members co-created a criteria of six principles, which represented steps towards achieving Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP). During each country’s exploratory phase, members undertook a Transformative Innovation Learning History (TILH), and as part of this process, analysed the extent to which these six principles were present in the experiments identified. Although … from Extract: Six guiding principles for TIP experimentation
