ii2030 value proposition
The ii2030 process is designed to unlock opportunities for system change that serve people, planet and profit.
For businesses, it offers an proven framework to build new growth markets that require the collaboration of multiple actors.
For investors, it provides a tool to create synergies within their portfolio, enhance the enabling environment and identify new investment opportunities.
For governments and policymakers, it offers a roadmap for joint action planning towards sustainable and inclusive development with multiple stakeholders.
And for individuals, it provides a platform to connect with other changemakers and make a meaningful difference in the world.
Why system change?
The challenges facing the world today cannot be solved through incremental improvements or isolated actions. Instead, they require a systemic approach that addresses the root causes and interdependencies of these challenges. By working together and tackling these challenges at a systems level, we can create lasting change and build a more sustainable and equitable future for all. Whether you’re a business or public sector leader, social entrepreneur, or concerned citizen, we invite you to join us in this journey towards system change. Together, we can unlock the potential of our organizations and communities and create a better world.
The process
ii2030 enables organizations from all sectors to realize transformative impact opportunities by working together with the relevant stakeholders. Through a structured process, ii2030 enables this select group to get a shared understanding of the current dynamics in the system, identify and prioritize leverage points and build an action plan towards a desired change. It helps to identify each party’s strengths and contributions.
ii2030 is ideally suited to design complex multi-stakeholder partnerships that bring about system change and thus create opportunities for all involved.
In the short-term, ii2030 delivers valuable insights, stakeholder dialogue, an innovative ideas in a way that connects actors deeply and creates energy for collaboration.
Each ii2030 track starts with an open expert consultation to understand challenges in the system and identify leverage points for change, using the Systems Practice methodology. We engage a wide audience to learn about existing solutions, the people working in and impacted by the system and the constraints they face. We also identify participants for the co-creation phase.
In the co-creation phase, a group of core stakeholders develops a prototype to reconfigure the system. In an onsite or several online workshops, we take participant through a Theory U process, enabling them to identify their share intention and actions towards this goal. On the way, we open the space for deep connection with oneself and others, creating momentum for implementation.
Each ii2030 track leads to a proposal for concrete action on the ground that brings participants closer to the shared vision. Participants can then implement the solution collectively. Additional partners are recruited for implementation as needed. Once implementation is complete, results can be assessed, the solution can be refined and steps can be taken to scale impact.
