Workshop Methodology

Adaptive Action

Adaptive Action is a methodology we like to use, offering a structured yet flexible approach to addressing complex issues in uncertain environments. Adaptive Action brings together Experts by Lived Experience as well as the perspectives of those who are in positions of power, to gain a shared understanding of what is happening and move towards action.

Through Adaptive Action we can create a space where people can learn from their experiences and work together to influence health systems toward more coherence and greater sustainability.
