# Sprint 5: Distributing the ability to solve

To appreciate the current challenges and limitations of key actors and create effective pathways to improve and sustain their ability to co-create and share value.

Actors (from government, civil society and private sector) in the network may not have built the ability (clarity, capability or capacity) to give what is expected from them at scale or the ability to resolve barriers to collaboration and cooperation. Further, we need many diverse innovations to respond to the big question at scale. Actors need conducive environments to introduce social innovations that are inclusive. How can we improve the ability of key actors to act, innovate and improve?

**Pre-requisite:** Core value exchanges, network patterns and actions to induce network effects

**Pre-requisite:** An updated version of the design document (SDA5) based on sprint 4 outputs

**Downloadable assets** that are useful for preparing for / facilitating this sprint:

* [S5A1](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v1bqXtvWbM0DamDbTGOa0KwARcvpEiDs/view?usp=drive_link): A primer on ecosystem ability and modalities of distribution
* [S5A2](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a8fhmig620-7ajV8f3lzWC386TprLAAE/view?usp=drive_link): Objectives and agenda for the time we will spend together
* S5A3: A slide deck to help select actions to leverage ecosystem assets
* S5A4: A guide to enable those who want to facilitate this sprint
* [SDA5](https://drive.google.com/file/d/10y8qmaoIwF_dkMgaZmURZHNQmHczUzV8/view?usp=drive_link): The design document where all sprint outputs are curated
