ISC Live Lab Co-investment and Return on Co-investment
Context. In 2010, we were refining a framework and approach to integrating strategic systems processes with large groups of diverse stakeholders.
Co-investment. In this large initiative, we co-invested our intellectual property of strategic systems thinking, large-scale collaborative systems change.
Return on Co-investment. The return on this co-investment was in the development of processes for engaging local co-hosts throughout a community to co-lead collaborative processes, as well as refining of processes for bringing local governmental agencies and community leaders into a generative process.
