TRANSITIONS in WATER MANAGEMENT

“Green skills for boosting transitions in water mangement ”… What the hell do they mean?

Transition Skills Water

A course as a jigsaw of three

concentric cricles

Water Transition Skills

WATER MANAGEMENT

Water management provides the background scenario

Gives us the context where we are going to work

Cases, problems, disciussion topics will rely on

water issues

Water cycle, water system, interdependence, new business models,

resource management… some of the topics to be addressed

We are going to work on water issues but: How? …That is a different question

TRANSITION MANAGEMENT

Transition management perspective provides

the approach for the whole course

Gives us the way how we are expected to face

the problems set out in the course, around water

based on the idea of co-evolutionary socio-technical systems

Multiple levels can be recognized in these systems:

niches (experiments), regime (market/society), landscape (broader context)

Changes in niches can drive evolution in the whole system

affecting regime and landscape in the long run

Technology is not enough for the system to change

Processes of change comprehend technological, social,

organizational actions involving multiple actors.

Lead those tansitions, tackle sustainability problems with

this approach requires new knowledge and skills

Then transition will have been sparked

GREEN SKILLS

Finally we get to the very heart of the course , the so called

Green Skills

The goal of the course is to gain and put in place those skills to

boost transition in systems (experiment-market-society-landscape)

We are talking about creative thinking, visioning, dealing with stakeholder, networking, presuasion, problem solving…

In summary We will learn new skills to drive

socio-technical changes in systems by putting them in place

in water management issues Water Transition Skills

That sounds nice, but

How are we supposed to learn and

put in place those green skills?
