Project 3.3 - Promoting and sustaining experimentation
Pillar outcome: Driving Change Well
Issues
Our Conferences and Members feel a lack of empowerment to experiment with new ways of working.
Identified task(s)
The actions behind this item can be performed by every Member:
- New agenda item in each meeting: ‘image if…’ for new ideas, and debrief/reflection on past experiments with celebration.
- Parameters for experimentation provided by each State (budget, time, resources, value alignment).
- Toolkit to support experimentation (how to grow ideas) and an innovation / incubation ideas log accessible at a State level.
Success indicator(s)
- A bias towards yes, as part of a culture of celebrating innovation and experimentation
- Framework to enact new ideas
- Good understanding of Member skills
- Resources to support new ideas.
