For this example, I'll use "Reducing single-use plastic consumption in the city by 50% within two years" as the central theme. Here's how the flow will look:
Clarify Goals: Set specific goals for reducing single-use plastics.
Identify Stakeholders: Define all relevant stakeholders involved in this goal.
Set Success Criteria: Determine indicators of success related to this goal.
Conduct Systemic Analysis: Map the system affecting plastic use, identify non-linear relationships, and analyse power structures.
Cultural Narratives: Explore existing narratives around plastic use, analyze cultural archetypes, and assess the impact of these narratives.
Synthesise Insights: Combine systemic analysis and cultural insights to propose a comprehensive strategy for the reduction of single-use plastics.
