Dear PSF folks,
I met Geoff Mulgan @ NESTA (UK) at a UNESCO event modestly titled “Learning Planet”.
Mulgan has done 20 years of prototyping social forms. It’d be interesting to compare:
NESTA:We bring bold ideas to life to change the world for good.Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality. It also means changing lives for the better. This is what keeps us awake at night and gets us out of bed in the morning.https://www.nesta.org.uk/toolkit/prototyping-framework/Prototyping is an approach to developing, testing and improving an idea at an early stage before you commit a lot of resources to it.It is a way of working that allows you to experiment with an idea so you can learn and refine it into something even better.The prototyping process outlined in this toolkit was developed by Nesta and thinkpublic. Depending on what you are prototyping you may find stages of this process are more relevant than others, but the diagram provides a framework which will allow you structure your approach.
