2. KONFERENCE OM SYSTEM—INNOVATION 2
Four levers to change a system
Purpose
Reframe the challenge that the system is addressing,
its mission and so its method
Power
Create structures that change who has power over
decisions, rules, legitimacy, flows of resources or
information
Resources
Make new resources from inside and outside the
system part of meeting the challenge - people,
money, knowledge, technology
Relationships
Catalyse new, generative relationships between
existing and new actors in the wider ecosystem
Formål
Omformulér den udfordring, som skal adresseres og
dermed systemets mission og metode
Beslutningskraft
Skab nye rammer, der ændrer hvor beslutningskraften ligger
– også over regler og strømme af information eller
ressourcer
Ressourcer
Aktivér nye ressourcer i og udenfor systemet, så de bruges
til at imødegå udfordringen. Det kan være økonomiske
ressourcer, men også mennesker, viden eller teknologi
Relationer
Styrk nye, givende relationer mellem eksisterende og nye
aktører i det større økosystem

A slow burning issue….
7-8% young people not in education or employment
This has stayed the same for 20 years - even during economic upturns

Seeing system patterns
BeliefsBehaviours Structures
• Fragmented experience
• Failure = falling further back
• No choice/agency
• High volume ‘cycling’ in and out
of the benefits system
• Education first
• Challenge = readiness
• Untapped resources
• 1:1 brokering of placements
• Warehoused with ‘other slackers’
> Developmental journey • Work first
• Challenge = identity + belonging
> Network

• Framin
g the

• Trying out

• Using them
as ‘probes’
to

• Supporting

15. KONFERENCE OM SYSTEM—INNOVATION 15
Transitional activities
Roles inside and outside to support transition:
Where is there ‘system readiness?
- connecting to strategic openings, e.g. municipal
leadership, STAR, industry bodies
What might increase legitimacy of the
approach?
- e.g. harnessing demand from young people and
companies themselves
- measuring differently
- professional movements
What alliances, coalitions for change could
form?
- e.g. NW community of practice, national
company networks
Dominant
system
patterns
New
approach
What system
conditions do we
need to create for
this approach to
flourish?
