In this phase, we collectively explore our territory to understand:

• Who are the key stakeholders and actors?

• What are the unmet needs and barriers?

• How do different parts of our system relate to each other?

• Where are the feedback loops that keep problems in place?

We use Causal Loop Diagrams (CLDs) - visual maps of how different factors in our territory influence each other - to build a shared picture of the system.

With our system map in hand, we explore thematic enablers - areas where change can have the greatest leverage:

• Circular Bioeconomy: Using bio-based resources in closed-loop cycles

• Mobility Empowerment: Improving access to sustainable transport

• Smart Agriculture & Food Systems: Leveraging technology for sustainable production

• Cultural Heritage & Tourism: Preserving and valorizing local assets

• Digital Innovation: Bridging the digital divide

For each enabler, we identify concrete opportunities that connect to the needs and dynamics mapped in Phase 1.

In the final phase, we:

• Co-design concrete interventions based on the most promising opportunities

• Identify and test the assumptions behind each intervention

• Evaluate how each intervention contributes to (or disrupts) the broader system

• Use the Causal Loop Diagram to simulate potential systemic effects
