Colleagues,
Innovation North’s next speaker on systems innovation is Jason Jay. The title of his talk is: Looking for Leverage. He speaks to the elusive idea of ‘leverage’ in systems science – the idea that we might find key pressure points and timing for intervention that help us change the course of events in a better direction. He will use the En-ROADS climate simulation tool to illustrate the idea of leverage, and share how the emerging theory and practice of systemic investing might provide a promising pathway forward on climate and the other big challenges of our time.
Jason is a Senior Lecturer and Director of the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, and the co-author of Breaking Through Gridlock. Jason’s last 20 years of research, teaching, advising, and field building has explored the variety of roles that corporates, entrepreneurs, investors, NGOs, public policy, and cross-sectoral field builders can play in building a just and sustainable world.
The event will take place online on December 10 from 10-11 AM EST.
