strategy

In the context of unprecedented challenges we need to reimagine, to re-engage and re-build. Not only that, but also to recognise that social change is deeply personal and complex and in order to make society fairer we must ensure that we continue to centre the people who have experienced social issues first-hand and groups that are likely to be disproportionality affected and focus on issues that reinforce or create inequalities and injustice. So, with that said it’s important to reframe TSIP’s ‘rise to the challenge’ and admit that we can’t reimagine a fair society alone but we can join forces with partners who want to raise people and communities up, to amplify unheard voices, to share knowledge and power to work side by side to make society fairer.

This strategy sets out how we understand the change that TSIP makes - we’ve taken a systems innovation approach with three drivers: mindsets, participation, and redistribution. We’re also excited to be launching a brand-new business model which includes a dedicated space within TSIP – The Innovation Lab -  to co-design and test innovative new ideas that disrupt traditional norms to advance climate justice, health equity and explore the future of work. This space sits proudly alongside our Consultancy Partnership which will continue to offer research, evaluation and co-design services with extra emphasis on participation and community engagement.

This strategy process has only served to prove that we are a gloriously diverse team of optimists, who cultivate curiosity, thrive in complexity and genuinely believe that the answer to a fair society lies in shifting power towards people and communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by our theory of change, our ladder of participation, our approach to community engagement and our approach to innovation.
