{"product_id":"the-social-labs-revolution-zaid-hassan-9781626560734","title":"The Social Labs Revolution: A New Approach to Solving Our Most Complex Challenges","description":"Current responses to our most pressing societal challenges--from poverty to ethnic conflict to climate change--are not working. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 1626560730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626560734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berrett-Koehler Publishers\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 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 6.06w x 0.63d","brand":"Zaid Hassan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989409497343,"sku":"9781626560734","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_920acb8d-ff52-4fdf-b15a-0bf9d0d86c1a.jpg?v=1683299332","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-social-labs-revolution-zaid-hassan-9781626560734","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
