This simple tool is designed to support group learning and reflection in Transformative Innovation Policy and sustainability transitions initiatives. The tool is based on the idea that documenting significant moments, decisions, and turning points can help identify patterns of change and lessons for future action. It encourages us to reflect on who we are in … from Tool: Histories of change

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

Investments and policy decisions can be made more effective by connecting to the transition dynamics of a particular place. From skills to infrastructures, identities to aspirations and culture – the characteristics and conditions of an organisational or geographical context may help or hinder progress towards systems transformation. At the same time, scaling requires that we … from Tool: Opportunity spaces – Unlocking learning from place-based challenges through Transformative Outcomes

Transformative Outcomes provide a way for us to monitor and evaluate progress toward deeper systemic change. They can be used as indicators to describe macro-processes that lead to transformation, including: Building and nurturing niches – Dynamics that contribute to the construction and growth of a new initiative, (social) practice or technology Expanding and mainstreaming niches … from Tool: Transformative Outcomes worksheet

Systems optimisation can generate short-term positive effects. However, in the long run it may inhibit scaling, by preserving the unsustainable configuration of a dominant regime, and reinforcing the underlying rules. So how do we know if well-intended interventions are optimising or challenging a system? This is a simple tool to help you unpack your own … from Tool: Systems optimisation vs change

In this exercise, you will use a transitions theory called the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) to understand how change happens in a socio-technical system – e.g. an energy, health, food or water system – and identify opportunities to influence these dynamics through your investment strategies. Part 1 helps you to create a theory of change for … from Tool: Multi-level theory of change (Investor version)

This tool is designed to help you visualise a system that you are seeking to effect change in through your investment portfolio. As you complete the exercise, you will build a picture of the ingredients in a system that maintain its stability and functionality over time – and consider the niches (alternative practices) that might … from Tool: Pentagonal map for system analysis (Investor version)

This narrative for Component 4 of the Resource Lab focuses on capabilities for TIP. It explores the personal capabilities that have emerged as important for transformative policy approaches, the organisational learning required and the participatory engagement with TIP concepts and practice that is instrumental to shifting the values and beliefs that drive sociotechnical systems.   … from Component 4 User Guide: Capabilities for Transformative Innovation Policy

As governments are tasked with delivering transformative change across interconnected systems, an integrated and evolutionary approach is needed, often calling for intermediaries. In 2021, TIPC and One Team Gov developed an experimental learning session to explore the conditions that give rise to collaboration and change within government. This work helps to facilitate learning and collaboration … from Capabilities for building bridges across government
