These problems are incredibly dynamic and complex, involving an ever - shifting array of factors, actors, and circumstances. They demand a highly fluid and adaptive approach, yet we address them by devising fixed, long - term plans. Social labs, says Zaid Hassan, are a dramatically more effective response. Social labs bring together a diverse a group of stakeholders - not to create yet another five - year plan but to develop a portfolio of prototype solutions, test those solutions in the real world, use the data to further refine them, and test them again. Hassan builds on a decade of experience - as well as drawing from cutting - edge research in complexity science, networking theory, and sociology - to explain the core principles and daily functioning of social labs, using examples of pioneering labs from around the world. He offers a new generation of problem solvers an effective, practical, and exciting new vision and guide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zaid Hassan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1038778433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781038778437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ReadHowYouWant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.68d","brand":"Zaid Hassan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46670627176703,"sku":"9781038778437","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-social-labs-revolution-zaid-hassan-9781038778437","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
