Editor's Notes
- Karina – Introduction to the PDC Karina and Jake – introduce selves and what we’re going to talk about today.
- Karina Speak to the state of NB and the current conversation entrepreneurs, government, and community are having. What are NB’s largest social problems? Without talking about “complexity”, highlight the major issues that are complex. What are our current ways of addressing these problems? We create social problems as systems but try to solve them as individuals.

- Jake and Karina - Developing a challenge question Pose an example challenge question. Ex. Of affordable housing
- Jake - The system we are working in is:… Map contributing factors, resources, players, and institutions Map direct positive and negative correlations
- Karina – To understand system, it needs direction and we need to know where it isn’t working. This is why we need to draw in users of the system (like the homelessness) to identify intervention points. Jake - Identify leverage points. Put the least amount of effort for the greatest potential for impact.
- Jake - Design solutions at promising intervention points Karina - Co-create solutions Karina - Scale successful interventions, drop unsuccessful interventions
- Open Innovation – Jake Entrepreneurial Rigor to Public Challenges – Karina Evidence-Based Decision Making – Jake
- Jake – I can touch on these and you can add any you think might be important? This should lead you into the closing, which I think you’d be best fit to take on.
- Karina Research Symposium – Connecting Housing researchers with users of the content to develop a long-term in-time research agenda. Five-day Sprint – Launching 2-6 new labs around issues like food security, immigration and employment, and education reform. Conference Space – Keeping the lab framework a part of the conversation by including it in all major conferences (Govmaker, Ideas Festival, The Dialogue, Housing).
