Our Work
We work with our members and partners to build the understanding, relationships and collective action needed to accelerate Scotland’s transition to a Wellbeing Economy.
Lasting economic transformation cannot be achieved by any one organisation acting alone. It depends on people and organisations sharing ideas, building relationships and working collectively towards a common vision.
Our vision is of an economy designed to deliver good lives for all within planetary boundaries.
This means changing how we understand success, what we value and how we make decisions about our collective future.
How we'll get there
Redesigning our economy will take action at all levels of the economic system. Inspired by Frank Geels’s work on transition theory, we seek to transform the context and paradigm we operate in, the policy that shapes what’s possible and the grassroots level where innovative practice takes place.
