Digitalisation and inclusive economic growth: a theory of change
bookPart
This chapter describes two inter-related pathways to realise digital transformation while supporting inclusive economic growth. It proposes a route at the regional level - ‘collaborative ecosystem approach’; and at the company level - ‘workplace innovation’. We claim that citizen engagement and employee engagement are necessary conditions to develop acceptable pathways with limited resistance to change. Theory of Change (ToC) is used as methodology to explain the ‘content’ of the entrepreneurial ecosystems model at the regional level, and the concept of sociotechnical systems design and workplace innovation at the company level. Both are useful to pursue the needed digital transformation that supports inclusive growth. Subsequently, the ToC presents a ‘process’ of practical steps, a checklist, and a dialogue approach to assist practitioners in designing their own approaches at both levels. At various points throughout this tool book, the others chapters attune with this overarching ToC.
