- - Social learning
    Social (or collaborative) learning refers to learning processes among a group of people who seek to improve a common situation and take action collectively. It is useful to think of five main strands that support the process.

    Planning, monitoring and evaluation form a natural structure for social learning. They need to be linked together, and when seen in this way can naturally underpin a collaborative and outcome-oriented approach to management.
Collaboration/Engagement
- - Collaboration/Engagement
    A growing challenge for managers in our complex world is to step beyond a narrow operational focus that deals with individual technical aspects, and engage more meaningfully with a range of partners and key stakeholders through improved communication and engagement activities.
Supporting change

    The basic principles underpinning successful change are universal and there are a wide range of guides developed in many different contexts that can help us. However, to achieve change policy makers and others need to be aware of the characteristics of complex social systems, and what these mean for the design of constructive interventions. It is also important to involving the right people in the co-design of interventions that recognise when to use synergistic links across both individual and wider practice change initiatives.
Social research

    Participatory action research that operates within the area of practice, and works with the different stakeholders and partners involved, can accelerate learning and actions that lead to the wider system transformations that we want.
