In these pages you can find out more about what the Toolkit is, how it has been created, who has been involved, and what Positive Tipping Points are.

What the Toolkit is for

The Positive Tipping Points Toolkit exists to make working with complex systems more accessible, rewarding, and collaborative.

Understanding, identifying, and working towards tipping points can help bring a wealth of benefits to our work for change:

• Becoming more comfortable with the uncertainty that is unavoidable when we try to shift large or small complex systems of environmental or social harm.
• Reframing systems thinking as something that can be accessible and familiar to all of us, by using play, story, creativity and structure.
• Developing more relevant indicators of progress, to inform strategic planning and development towards short and long term goals.
• Finding new stories of change that help us learn from what has and has not worked in the past, so that we can identify the actions that may make positive change more likely in the future.
• Creating opportunities to find new collaborations across different spaces, scales, and sectors, through a deeper understanding of our respective roles in changing a system.

How to use the Toolkit

At its simplest point, the Toolkit is a collection of tools which can be used to bring Positive Tipping Points to life, and apply the framework to our work for change.

But a list of tools can be overwhelming, so we have created a few ways to navigate the Toolkit, or to navigate others through it.
