ALIA Webinar - Zaid Hassan - Social Labs
Channel: ALIAleadership
Date: 2014-01-28

The first in an ALIA webinar series called Tools for Transformation, Zaid Hassan of Reos Partners distills essential principles of next-generation Labs. He shares with us insights from his most recent publication 'Social Lab Revolution'.

SOCIAL LABS bring together a diverse a group of stakeholders not to create yet more five-year plans but to develop a portfolio of prototype solutions, test those solutions in the real world, use the data to further refine them, and test them again. Their orientation is systemic—they are designed to go beyond dealing with symptoms and parts to get at the root cause of why things are not working.

Zaid builds on a decade of experience—as well as drawing from cutting-edge research in complexity science, networking theory, and sociology—to explain the core principles and daily functioning of social labs, using examples of pioneering labs from around the world. He describes a fast-growing global movement around a new generation of ambitious social labs that are tackling big challenges such as dramatically reducing global emissions, preventing the collapse of fragile states, and improving community resilience. The Social Labs Revolution offers a new generation of problem solvers an effective, practical, and exciting new vision and guide.
