This year, the Transformative Innovation Policy Consortium (TIPC) will launch the new Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP) Resource Lab (RL)
– an open-access collection of tools, resources, knowledge and learnings for implementing TIP methods. The Lab will be introduced through a series of learning workshops taking place between June and December 2022 (see https://www.tipconsortium.net/learning/open-learning-series/)

TIPC aims to scale up policy experimentation and learning across different organisational and geographical contexts. We are, therefore, looking to grow capacity by facilitating a small Network of Coaches who wish to develop a good understanding of the TIP Resource Lab components and tools.

Coaches will influence further development of the TIP Resource Lab, and help put the materials into practical use for the development and evaluation of transformative policies, projects and programmes towards system change for sustainability and a just transition.

Who can be part of the Network of Coaches?

The network may be of interest to people who are working on transformative change in innovation, research or development settings. This may include:

    policy analysts, advisors and researchers in agencies, knowledge communities or intergovernmental organisations;
    managers and coordinators of transformative projects/programmes within the public sector and NGOs;
    monitoring, evaluation and learning specialists;
    independent consultants supporting the professionals above; and
    researchers and doctoral students of transitions, business and transformative innovation.

What is required of TIP coaches?

Coaches will need to complete all of the four sessions below, and contribute to a short discussion after each workshop:

1          Wed 22 June, 13:00-16:00 BST
Component 1, including systems mapping and developing a transformative Theory of Change
