To achieve a deep transformation by translating global agreements into concrete actions remains one of the greatest challenges of our time. The X-curve is a visual aid that can help with this challenge, allowing individuals to map transition dynamics and create a setting where interventions for transformative change can be co-created.
Transitions are fundamental changes in the culture, structure and practices of societal systems. The X-Curve is a visual tool aimed at creating a richer understanding of the transition dynamics within society or a specific context (e.g. neighbourhood, city, region, etc.). It creates a common language and understanding of the societal dynamics currently at play.
The X-Curve is a powerful tool for:
- Understanding systems
- Awareness and priority setting
- Supporting decision-making and experiments
- Manage learning and institutional change
This toolkit provides some background and practical info on how to use the X-curve and examples of its application.
