Social infrastructures are public systems, amenities, buildings, spaces, platforms, services, activities, organizations, networks and movements that shape how people interact and support collective life.

Boring Revolutions..

Increasingly wonder if these formats (see image) for the deliberations of complex issues are just performative/a theatre of interaction with limited functionality for the interrogation of the matter in hand - we need new structurally formats - with new deliberative visual conversational grammar, machine assisted systems,

How do we deeply and structurally imagine the organising structures, protocols, TORs for committees, advisory councils to support the iteration, aggregation of complex fields of knowledge? Am finding these structures wholly inadequate, and undermining the capacities of States/governments or large organisation to meaningfully construct policy or intersectional decisions.

Know @audreyt is doing great work on this..more ideas welcome>>> Investing in these format & process innovations would yield significant returns for public interest.

PS also open space technologies are not sufficient for such complex iterative intersectional issues

Families & relationships as the unit of wellbeing - next in our series with @Centre4SysInnov to make visible what we are learning and observing in mahi around us about repatterning for equity. Thanks always to the collaborators and whānau who share their know-how

Pleased to share The Kura of the Future report from our rangatahi design rōpū, Te Taiwhanga Rangatahi -who've been exploring (with many collaborators) how we grow the pathways for Māori & Pacific young people into green, tech careers. Their whakaaro here: https://t.co/GKi73HbwAS

Our friends @Centre4ImpInnov & @IngridBurkett helped us communicate this shift from transactional to transformational and the multiplier outcomes we get from investing in this way. Post cyclone & as we move into recovery & future preparation such approaches are even more critical

[The Lab @CodesignLab_AKL]

Last year we worked with the Review into the Future of Local Government to explore what a wellbeing council looks like. We captured our key learning with @TSIforSthAkl here https://t.co/hcBM07xd0X & there are lots of fantastic examples across Aotearoa already. In short:

We observe that to use levers in this way needs certain mindsets & capabilities. Including: acknowledging & valuing mātauranga, enacting the opportunity of Te Tiriti in daily practice, developing an equity & wellbeing mindset, valuing the power of people in place...& learning

Auckland Council's Annual Budget is now open for consultation. https://t.co/QUUP3zfIDA Making a submission takes time and can be a bit daunting. @Inspiring_NZ is offering workshops to support you in the process. Find out more here: https://t.co/ieQp62dBdb

Pattern: Four in our re-Patterning for Equity series. Thank you to our partners and hoa haere for sharing their learning with us to understand what it looks like and feels like to shift the patterns of systems towards wellbeing in ways that genuinely result in different outcomes

[The Lab @CodesignLab_AKL]

"data, measurement and evidence can actually reinforce inequity and the status quo, rather than shifting it or seeking to transform it" Pattern 3 in our series with @Centre4ImpInnov @IngridBurkett Diversifying Value and Evidence - what matters and who gets to say?

[Charles Leadbeater @LeadbeaterCh]

Last year we brought together 70 inspirational innovators from all over the world who are trying to shift fundamentally systems they work in. This is the first of five lessons we took from our festival Making the System Shift.

"Starting Differently" - The second pattern in our re-patterning for equity series with @YunusGriffith @TSIforSthAkl It's almost too simple. If we want different outcomes, we need to do things differently. How we start signals that shift.

We'll be joining for this session with Angie Tangere and Anna Jane Edwards (Uptempo). Sharing aspects of our learning and systems shifting journey (learning to track and tracking to learn).

[Jennie Winhall @jeneralife]

Are we hitting the target but missing the point?🎯In Day3 of #MakingTheSystemShift we'll be looking at how to tell if we're making progress on deeper system shifts and what new roles evaluation & evaluators can play. More in🧵👇Sign up to claim your place! https://t.co/B9C3X8YvTu

Looking forward to this massive learning and sharing opportunity. Angie Tangaere (The Lab) and Anna Jane Edwards (Uptempo) will be sharing some of our learning on Day 3 @TSIforSthAkl

“So, if we want to change systems, we need first to observe or at least begin to understand the patterns underpinning it. We also need to imagine, learn, test and spread new patterns in order to affect change.”
