OUR APPROACH
We are using a systems thinking, collaborative approach.
To date, the diverse and conflicting needs of different stakeholder groups have hindered progress.
We believe that individual organisations are unlikely to achieve large-scale change alone; this will only be possible if we develop solutions together.
The Hub provides a truly open platform, facilitating an inclusive and innovative systems thinking approach to coordinating action across society.
Together we are publishing a Roadmap for Action and a Research for Change Agenda in 2024.
What is a systems thinking approach?
Essentially, it’s looking at the bigger picture and how everything fits together.
When we look at a problem, we can usually identify its direct causes and effects. But often the problem has in fact come about from a complex, interconnected and dynamic system of social, economic, political and cultural factors that are upstream of these causes.

This adapted Iceberg Model considers that, like icebergs, 90% of a complex issue is hidden beneath the surface, and these underlying factors drive the visible outcomes.
