DESCRIPTION:How articulation of local shared values creates a portal for bo
 ttom-up input into multi-scale governance\n\nDr.  Marie Harder\n\nRegister
  & watch webinar\n\nView poster\n\nDr. Marie Harder is a Distinguished Pro
 fessor at Fudan University since 2011\, while continuing part-time at the 
 University of Brighton. She was the lead Coordinator of the EU research pr
 oject ESDinds which first developed the WeValue concept of crystallizing g
 roup shared values\, which initially focussed on Civil Societies and has s
 ince branched into schools\, businesses\, faith groups\, and village commi
 ttees. She has co-written one book\, some chapters and 25 papers on underl
 ying theory and applications of WeValue\, within her 80+ peer-reviewed art
 icles. She is currently CoInvestigator on the £18 million UKRI Interdiscip
 linary Hub\, “Action Against Stunting”\; and a UKRI project on Infrastruct
 ure investment in UK coastal towns\; a MOST-China project on urban climate
  change in China and Vienna. In all these she elicits local shared values 
 to interface with policy development or assessment. She would love collabo
 rations to scale up to ESG and new economics.\n\nAbstract\n\nInput from lo
 cal people is highly sought by policymakers – health\, infrastructure\, su
 stainable development – so their policies will be better embraced and more
  effective. So important is the social interface to projects\, that invest
 ment banks and businesses are strengthening the ‘social’ requirements of E
 SG and CSR considerations\, and urban planners are striving to capture soc
 ial elements into dynamic system modeling\, creating indicators they can a
 pply for efficient application. But there seems to be a ‘gap’ in understan
 ding: the indicators often have poor meaning to the local people. Particip
 atory methods ‘simplify’ these external constructs so local people can res
 pond…with limited success. But external and local ways of knowing and thin
 king might be fundamentally different: is there any solution to bridge the
 m? Here we present a novel approach\, where local knowledge is assumed to 
 be more tacit\, and groups are facilitated in accelerated meaning-making i
 n a specialised process which results in concisely articulated statements 
 of ‘what is important to us’\, and a narrative to describe how they are li
 nked. These are authentic\, face-valid proto-indicators for immediate use 
 in decision-support tools. Furthermore\, opinions expressed in subsequent 
 focus groups will show linkages to these underlying shared values. In shor
 t\, every locality can have its own priorities with indicators\, useful fo
 r voice\, assessment\, interfacing\, and ultimately for deeply revising ES
 G and CSR indicators. Applications in many cases\, countries will be given

 OUT THE SERIES\n\nThe Convergent Innovation Webinar Series features cuttin
 g edge science\, technology and innovation in agriculture\, food\, environ
 ment\, education\, medicine and other domains of everyday life where grand
  challenges lie at the convergence of health and economics. Powered by dat
 a science\, artificial intelligence\, and other digital technologies\, thi
 s disciplinary knowledge bridges with behavioural\, social\, humanities\, 
 business\, economics\, social\, engineering\, and complexity sciences to a
 ccelerate real-world solution at scale\, be it in digital or physical cont
 exts. Initiated in the agri-food domain\, the series is now encompassing o
 ther grand challenges facing modern and traditional economies and societie
 s\, such as ensuring lifelong wellness and resilience at both the individu
 al and population levels.\n
