153. The social labs Field Book. A practical guide to next–generation social labs

This is a practical guide on social labs (by Hassan, 2015). The Field Book describes what is a social lab, how to implement it, considering its three characteristics: as a laboratory, a space for multi-disciplinary collaboration and a strategy for addressing a complex challenge. In particular, the Field Book attempts to support practitioners who are interested in building social labs. It provides practical, step-by-step guidance as to how to design spaces, run processes and build the team requires to run labs. The approach suggested is to work consciously on the design of each stack and cultivate each of these stacks over time.
