Accelerating Systemic Transformation - Wales case Study
North Star Transition has been invited to share its learnings from the Wales Transition Lab at a IIEP / ASU-Thunderbird webinar on Nov 10, 2021, entitled “Accelerating Systemic Transformation: A Case Study from Wales.”
Can we continue doing the same things over and over again and expect to see radical change? Questions are being asked about how we can actually create and catalyse radical change.
North Star Transition has been building a systemic nation-scale programme across Wales that reconnects food, health and nature to deliver solutions that address the root causes of a widespread decline in wellbeing across the nation. We were asked to share our learnings from this work on a Rethinking Capitalism and Democracy webinar hosted jointly by the Institute for International Economic Policy (IIEP) at George Washington University and the Thunderbird School of Management, Arizona State University.
Launched in October 2020 by North Star Transition, Wales Transition Lab brings together over thirty leaders across food, farming, environment, water, business, education, and health sectors across Wales around bold, shared ambitions. The seminar aims to provide an inside view of the ways in which the Lab is helping to bring about systemic transformation and the challenges this effort faces. It will assess how this stakeholder-driven approach fits into governance and policy structures, providing a real-world case study of a comprehensive place-based attempt to create a better future.
This webinar will feature North Star Transition’s Jyoti Banerjee, Victoria Topham and Jenny Scott. It will be moderated by IIEP Distinguished Visiting Scholar Sunil Sharma. IIEP Director Jay Shambaugh and Ann Florini of ASU-Thunderbird will provide welcoming remarks.
