But what kind of innovation?\u003cbr\u003e Sustaining innovation fixes what's failing. Disruptive innovation shakes\u003cbr\u003e things up. Only transformative innovation can deliver a fundamental shift\u003cbr\u003e towards new patterns of viability in tune with our aspirations for the future.\u003cbr\u003e Typically, disruptive initiatives make only a short-term impact or are\u003cbr\u003e eventually 'mainstreamed' to help sustain existing systems. That is\u003cbr\u003e particularly true in the public, social, cultural and civic sectors (for which\u003cbr\u003e this book is written) where no natural patterns of renewal are in place.\u003cbr\u003e This is a stand-alone, practical guide to realizing transformative potential\u003cbr\u003e at scale. It offers six elements for policymakers, funders and innovators: \u003cbr\u003e - Knowing: how to expand our sense of what constitutes valid\u003cbr\u003e knowledge to become more comfortable with complexity\u003cbr\u003e - Imagining: how to conceive, develop and design transformative\u003cbr\u003e initiatives to carry a group's longer term aspirations\u003cbr\u003e - Being: how to organise for action, manage the process, and sustain\u003cbr\u003e the people involved over time\u003cbr\u003e - Doing: how to introduce the new in the presence of the old, enrol\u003cbr\u003e others and figure out what to do when you don't know what to do\u003cbr\u003e - Enabling: how to construct a policy framework for long-term\u003cbr\u003e transition and provide smart financing to match\u003cbr\u003e - Supporting: how to develop systems and structures to support a\u003cbr\u003e culture of renewal in our public, social and civic systems.\u003cbr\u003e It ends with an invitation to join a growing community of transformative\u003cbr\u003e innovators around the world - a network of hope in powerful times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Leicester\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911193805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911193807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Triarchy Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Graham Leicester","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990910927103,"sku":"9781911193807","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b26bd61d-97d7-4bad-b63e-030a0ee1dae1.jpg?v=1683307376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transformative-innovation-graham-leicester-9781911193807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
