Large Scale Change: Ecosystems, Networks and Collaborative Action

The theme for the 2011 Forum was “Large Scale Change – ecosystems, networks and collaborative action.” Social issues have become more global, complex and interrelated than ever before, requiring knowledge, networks and solutions to address. While social innovators continue to drive progress, change at scale requires a shift from disparate players and solutions to an ecosystem approach that removes barriers and engages the full spectrum of actors required for sustainable change.

This year’s programme was organised around core ecosystem drivers of issues, influences, innovations, institutions, ideas and investments.
