GALLANT's "Systems Transformation" Goal 

GALLANT aims to build capacity to achieve systems transformation at the city scale.

Starting from a shared understanding of the current state of the system and a shared vision of the future, the Systems Transformation team supports GALLANT to use qualitative and quantitative data and evidence to bring values into decision-making.

 

Our Approach to Systems Transformation

The work of GALLANT's Systems Transformation team involves working with diverse stakeholders (e.g. policy, business, civil society) to change structures and processes as well as to influence policy and drive action.

The overall aim is to identify dynamics, dependencies, synergies and trade-offs to discover optimal interventions to achieve a just transition towards a Thriving Glasgow, balancing the needs of the planet with the wellbeing of people in Glasgow and around the world.
