This document summarizes a 3-year project that aimed to design on multiple levels to scale a system in transition from local to systemic. It discusses the methods used, including analyzing themes from project documentation and media over time. Key findings included preliminary design principles for living labs as catalysts of change. The document notes they are now applying these lessons in new contexts and investigating how to better support the phase of embedding and scaling insights from local labs systemically. It poses questions about experiences with this challenging third phase and concepts from systems dynamics that could help address balancing local and systemic levels when enacting systemic change through distributed initiatives.
