Agile Science seeks to drive healthy evolution of complex sociotechnical systems towards collective flourishing.
Agile Science moves research
Agile Science does this via being
- FROM what is generally true TO what is also specifically true
- FROM scientist-driven TO individual/group driven supported by scientists
- FROM linear problem-solving TO network cultivation
Agile Science does this via being
- Decision-focused
- Our goal is to support individuals/groups in making decisions oriented around their priorities, contextualized to them, and adapting over time as things change.
- Network-nurturing
- We seek to improve the agency of individuals/groups (nodes) to find, connect, and cultivate mutually beneficial connections, thus expanding network density as a pathway to drive change.
- Adaptive
- We draw from a wide range of research methods - design, engineering, psychology, community-driven, systems science - to enable resource efficient ways to iteratively articulate key assumptions/questions and iteratively test and refine them over time.
