The human services sector lacks the systematic integration needed to accomplish their complex and essential work. Without network integration, there is no real-time data to guide current efforts. Without data, we cannot grow accountability, learn and design better strategies for the continuously adapting communities we support. Without continuous innovation, sustainable outcomes are not achievable.

But complicated is not complex, and only complexity can manage complexity; working harder at the old paradigm won’t yield a different outcome. It doesn’t need to be this way.
