3 things to remember
What: We are trying to prototype change for people at all levels of the social system.
How: Working from the ground-up to model new practices, live prototypingand measuring what works, what doesnt, for whom and why.
Why? Too many top-down changemaking approaches have a huge disconnectbetween what is designed and what is actually implemented and felt bypeople on the ground. So we are working backwards: from people to interactions to services - rather than from policy, to program to people.

@inwithforward #RSD4
we are poking the system from within
by actively prototyping new possibilities
and scaling the fifth space mindset
