Reflections on TIPC use

‘The transformative experiment … offers a conceptualisation of innovation that is different from the common one, as it is characterized by a systemic innovation that helps foster transformations in (sub)systems to respond to needs in fundamentally different ways’ – Matias Ramirez

‘Experiments are done on a small scale (a neighbourhood, an organization, a community) and can contribute to a transition with radically new ways of doing things’ – Matias Ramirez
