Transforming experimentation: experimental policy engagements and their transformative outcomes. (TIPC Research Report, March).

Abstract

This research report examines the various practices, rationales and approaches associated with policy experimentation followed by a proposal of how experimentation can apply to advancing Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP) for Transformative Change. This document integrates and builds on an earlier version that outlined different types of Experimental Policy Engagements (EPEs) but adds to that a proposed list of Transformative Outcomes that can be used to create new EPEs or modify existing EPEs to promote more transformative change. It is the result of a follow-up scoping exercise conducted for the Transformative Innovation Policy Consortium (TIPC) and a workshop with its members.
