This tool is an extract from the ‘Visual toolbox for system innovation’ – a resource book developed by EIT Climate-KIC to support capabilities in mapping, analysing and facilitating sustainability transitions. The tool helps users to identify actions to improve the way a project performs within a particular system. It was designed to address two common reasons why innovation initiatives don’t create societal change: that they get stuck in ‘business as usual’, or that they are not able to mature enough because of external conditions or lack of connections. The tool helps us to identify actions to avoid this and to develop system management strategies to keep the project on track.
