Did lead to systems change, even if not explicitly designed to do so.

(look to CLASP)

Ecosystem approach to place-based youth work. (as a result of YO grants)
Size and proportionality: new initiatives need to have resources for coordinating, backbone, for local intermediary partner to connect systems structures and change them. W/out infra baked in, you'll get less acceleration in systems change.

Ad hoc partnerships can emerge (historically), but having dedicated capacity in some form is required.

How can we build those intermediaries/orgs in a way that is truly community-centric? Those orgs can become their own entity that can take away from work in place.

Understanding in an ongoing learning way, that allow for continuous PM, allow work to be scaled and replicated.

Systems themselves are so flawed, you have to go back to "systems of systems," and thinking about how to embed that programmatically at the federal level. How do you upstream things effectively? "scaffolding for change"

# data[].attributes.body
Hard but need to be improved.

Relationships, connections, power dynamics. How actors are configured and relationships are structured and who wields formal and informal authority? Figure out what unit of analysis we are bounding to describe as a system and then break it down.

Be explicit in different contexts what is the system and what are outcomes that we are trying to change.

Shared def for this group?

Tension between serving needs and experimentation. e.g. HCV, and then place-based, but then how do you experiment beyond that compliance mandate. Energy and infra go to monitoring, OIG, not backbone capacity.

Bold and experimented. Wondered whether fed'l program could operate in that mode. Can it be as innovative as we need it to be for this work?

Gov't scaling incubation - beta-test and float hypotheses to feds. Agree on what threshold needs to be cleared. Power of Place strategy similar, recruit network of philanthropy, etc. to pilot work. Would be helpful for us to think about threshold of evidence before making assumption about external validity of that hypothesis.

Beware of these kinds of overly prescriptive investments.

These concepts. Do not align systems that have structural racism already baked into them! Language will become ubiquitous, but will be. So, can get out ahead of this, and create mechanisms and imperative for this before do systems alignment!
