How can projects, programmes and policies orientated towards system change be made more transformative? This is an extract from a TIPC Open Learning Series event in November 2021, in which TIPC contributors and participants from research, policy and practice explore why a redirection of policy is needed and how it is possible. The extract features … from Transformative outcomes: Practical tools to empower and scale system change

This introductory workshop tool helps us to think about how we might identify the 12 transformative outcomes in experimental projects and policies. In group, users start by picking one or more transformative outcomes from three macro-process that lead to transformation. They then answer a series of questions to aid thinking about how that transformative outcome … from Tool: Identifying transformative outcomes in projects and policies

In this edited workshop recording, Jordi Molas-Gallart and Sandra Boni present a ‘formative’ approach to the evaluation of Transformative Innovation Policies that is operational and adaptable to different contexts. Together, they introduce the core principles of formative evaluation, practical experiences of implementing this approach within the Transformative Innovation Policy Consortium membership, and allude to the … from Open Learning Series: A formative approach to the evaluation of Transformative Innovation Policies

This tool guides participants through a Futures Literacy Lab, a practical method to help us reveal, reframe and rethink the assumptions we use to imagine the future. It draws on TIPC’s Nordic members’ experience of running a Lab in partnership with UNESCO and The Nordic Institute for Studies in Innovation, Research and Education in 2021. … from Tool: Futures Literacy Lab

The pentagonal map for system analysis tool was tested in June 2022, with a 90-minute online session that formed part of an extended learning workshop. Around 25 people took part using Zoom, supported by one facilitator and one digital coordinator. Most of the participants joining this session were relative newcomers to TIP practice and theory. In … from Snapshot of experience: Testing the pentagonal map tool

This reflective tool helps us to think about an initiative (such as a project, programme or policy) as a Transformative Innovation Policy experiment. It draws on guiding principles co-created by TIPC members during the Consortium’s pilot phase. Users score the initiative for the presence of each principle, creating a picture of where strengths and weaknesses … from Tool: Transformative Innovation Policy Radar

This tool is a ‘thinking exercise’ – a structured brainstorming process, designed to be used by an individual or group – perhaps engaging a range of actors.
