The Big Picture

All of These Efforts Run Smack into Messes
The educational mess The poverty mess The healthcare mess The public safety mess

What’s a Mess?
![Page 7: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Complex Messes
A system of interacting complex problems

New Understandings: Complex problems behave in ways that make more
straightforward programmatic solutions less effective
The past does not necessarily predict the future. Small changes can create large and sometimes
unanticipated effects Preskill and Tanya, 2012
![Page 11: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
New Understandings: Producing specific outcomes at a pre-determined
time (a grant period) is difficult
Predicting all possible outcomes that might occur (United Way funding proposals) is difficult
Sequencing outcomes in the same way that a well-tested, stable program intervention can (Logic Model) is difficult
Preskill and Tanya, 2012
![Page 12: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A Challenge However Remains
Even with this increased understanding,
the challenge of working in messes remains: Getting from here to there without getting lost or overwhelmed
along the way
![Page 13: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
But Here Where It Gets Tricky
Within the pathways of dealing with messes not only do we take action to address:
• simple situations • complicated situations • complex situations • And potentially chaotic situations
![Page 14: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Those taking the actions live in: – simple situations – complicated situations – complex situations – And potentially chaotic situations
![Page 15: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Chaos
![Page 16: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In chaotic situations people are just trying to survive, we do whatever it takes
![Page 17: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Complicated
![Page 18: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In complicated situations things are either socially complicated or technically complicated
When things are socially complicated we build
relationships and create common ground to increase our social agreement
When things are technically complicated we
experiment and coordinate expertise to increase our technical certainty
![Page 19: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Simple
![Page 20: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In simple situations we just trying to follow the recipe – evidence-based practices.
![Page 21: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Complexity – the land of Messes Characterized by high uncertainty and high social conflict (high uncertainty
about how to produce a desired result fuels disagreement, and disagreement intensifies and expands the parameters of uncertainty.)
![Page 22: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Complexity Causal connections are intertwined, entangled, and overlapping
![Page 23: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Complex Situations
cause-effect relations are unknown and, in principle, unknowable before effects have emerged.

Complexity Uncertainty and unpredictability are part of the innovation process

But Most of Us Are Overwhelmed With the Sheer Scope and Complexities of
These Issues So we fall back on a set of rules and standard
operating procedures that predetermine what we will do
Effectively short circuits our ability to work across
simple to complicated to complex situations or messes
Patton, Developmental Evaluation, 2011
![Page 53: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
So What’s the Response – Is There a Key?
![Page 54: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• We can address messes • But traditional programmatic approaches aren’t
creating impact • We need Social Innovation to impact messes
Preskill and Tanya, 2012
![Page 55: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
What is Social Innovation?
Novel solutions to social problems that: • Are more effective, efficient, sustainable, or just than
present solutions • Creates value that accrues primarily to society as a
whole rather than individuals • Crosses sectors, • Involves changing the dynamics, roles, and
relationships between many players, • Challenges conventional wisdom about the nature of
the problem and its solutions
Preskill and Tanya, 2012
![Page 56: Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/548f963eb47959962d8b4c23/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

Elements of Healthy Neighborhoods
• According to the Institute for Comprehensive Community Development, “Neighborhoods are complex systems that require many elements to work well, from decent housing and safe streets to employment opportunities, good schools and access to shopping, health care and other services.

Responding to the Mess of Flint Neighborhoods
• Use a new, more holistic approach to community and neighborhood development. – Blends human, community, and economic development – Provides the supports needed for healthy transitions from birth
to adulthood – Is grounded in research – Acknowledges the natural challenges to healthy development
but recognizes that these challenges are more difficult without the proper supports
– Offers guidelines for realigning investments for collective well-being
• Facilitate a process that creates action based on available
resources and assets
