Inputs Platform Outputs Outcome
Great People Conversation Articles A narrative. This helps us by giving us a sense of how we can “push” for rewiring of local economies in ways that can resonate with a broad spectrum of people. It includes pieces of (unorthodox) economic theory (like Mazzucato); data (no, regional policies how we are doing them now do not always lead to your region “catching up”); and Doctorow’s “architect’s renderings” of possible alt economies.
Interesting stories SSNA visualisations New Projects A library of models. These are detailed descriptions of interventions from different places that demonstrated some success . If others like a model, they could copy the very practical things that the the original protagonists did to realize that model.
Experience backed knowledge Sensemaking Unlikely Alliances An allianceof like-minded people, that can then lobby together, apply for funding together, coordinate etc.
