Sprint 4: Inducing network effects

To analyse value exchanges between interdependent actors, appreciate interconnected network effects and identify actions to increase and improve interactions.

Networks are everywhere, every system is a network. We need to deliberate what each key actor wants to get from and what they can give to the others (value exchange). Value exchanges, when increased and improved, induce network effects and create momentum such that the collective impact is greater than the sum of individual actions. But, there is a challenge. How to start the chain reaction, how to overcome the initial difficulty with adoption?

Pre-requisite: A strategy map with explanation of the for-with-leveraging-enabling layers
