Social Labs to Meet Global Development Challenges: Or why planning is killing us & prototyping will save us

Complexity is increasing everywhere. We are living on a planet that is more and more interconnected. As a result we are seeing complex challenges at multiple scales, be that in our schools or the wider systems we depend on. Dominant responses to complexity, based on planning based approaches do not work. So what should we do? Zaid Hassan, author of "The Social Labs Revolution: A New Approach to Solving our Most Complex Challenges" will argue that social labs represent a new and more adequate approach for addressing complex challenges.
