Every co-evolutionary projects begins with a systematic analysis of missing links between the technical / infrastructural realm and social practices, followed by a thorough check of co-evolutionary potentials. The actual search for and prioritization of co-evolutionary solutions requires the systematic participation of citizens / users because they are the ultimate experts in the social practices of everyday-life.
We provide guidance and training for all of these steps so that your team on the ground can maximize co-evolutionary potentials for your company, city or region. Alternatively, we can also organize and conduct the above process ourselves; obviously with a sophisticated system of intermediary steps. Do not hesitate to contact us to discuss the various options.
The criteria we use to assess the viability of co-evolutionary options are:
- New technologies provide a new range of choices
- New technologies make socially desired behaviours attractive
- Participation facilitates synchronic pre-adaptation
- New technologies require social embedding
- Strategic alliances are more productive than ideological purity
- Inventiveness enables a departure from the prevailing discourse
- Critical mass is crucial to overcome path dependencies
For more information about these design principles of any co-evolutionary project consult chapter 5 of "Synchronizing Science and Technology with Human Behaviour" .
