Process
| Inputs | Platform | Outputs | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good People | Conversation | Articles | Clusters of local actors that together try out new ideas to secure resilient livelihoods for their communities and themselves. Each cluster is composed of individuals, groups and organisations with deep ties to a place. |
| Interesting stories | Sensemaking | New Projects | **How is a cluster different from a network?** In a network, participants look for how to make the most of what others are doing. In a cluster, participants are willing to re-orient their work, so as to better work with the other participants. |
| Experience-based knowledge | New perspectives & ideas | Unlikely Alliances | If you are a construction company, you must not be lazy, and be open to using new technologies. If you are a social cooperative, you must look away from providing standardized services to customizing what you do in order to better valorize the capabilities of the people they are assisting. And so on. |
