Il morphing sociale, economico e politico che riplasmerà il mondo è partito e avanza sempre più velocemente.

Qui il link a THE LAB, un’innovativa struttura inglese dedicata alla riprogettazione radicale, collaborativa e distribuita di tutto ciò che è “pubblico servizio”. Creata dal NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology, and the Arts) THE LAB:

is not a physical space or an institution – it’s a series of practical projects, informed by research and delivered in partnership with those that run and use our public services. It shares lessons about what works – and what doesn’t – and creates opportunities for people to solve these together. It provides the freedom, flexible capital and expertise to undertake radical experiments. It tests out new ways of finding and spreading the best ideas – this might be by running a challenge prize, building a social ventures incubator, or creating powerful new teams of users, front-line staff and decision-makers.

By bringing together experience and ingenuity from across the public, private and third sectors, and drawing on the insights of citizens and consumers, the Lab plays a vital role in making public services fit for the 21st century.
