THINKING & ANALYSIS

A journey through TIPC’s milestones with Bipashyee Ghosh

Bipashyee Ghosh has been part of TIPC’s journey from the very beginning. Starting her academic career as a PhD student with TIPC’s founder and academic director Professor Johan Schot, she joined the lead up to the launch of the consortium and has been a core member of the team ever since. With TIPC entering a new phase, focussed on adoption and scaling, and with Bipashyee starting a new role with UCL (University College London), we asked her to reflect upon her path with TIPC up until this point, including key milestones and learnings, challenges and achievements and a look ahead to TIPC’s future, in this blog post.?

Capacities and capabilities for Transformative Missions: Global Perspectives?

In this blog post, Christoph Brodnik and Senamile Sishi recap our most recent Open Learning Series event, in which Petra Wagner from the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) and Simon Fielke as well as Amelia Olsen-Boyd from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) shared insights on the critical capacities and capabilities needed for pursuing transformative missions.?

TOOLS AND RESOURCES

Policy tool of the month: Systemic Change Game

The Systemic Change Game is an immersive and playful online board game aimed at strengthening players understanding of socio-technical systems and how to enable change in a local system. As part of the game, players take on the role of one of five ‘transition actors’ who all want to change a socio-technical system but have other underlying motivations as well. All actors need to collaborate in order to overcome make transformative change happen.

This tool has been inspired by and adapted from the X-curve tool developed by the EIT Climate KIC Visual toolbox for System Innovation. Learn how to play by reading the instructions on the MIRO canvas or by watching this tutorial.??
