The landscape of adaptive innovation

This chapter provides an overview of the whole adaptive innovation model. The landscape of adaptive innovation is elucidated by describing the values guiding ethical adaptation, its six practice phases, the embedded cycle of reflective practice and the significance of analysing actor interfaces in adaptation. To begin with, this chapter briefly narrates the values that could guide ethical adaptation, namely justice, ethics of care and solidarity. It further presents the six phases of adaptive innovation. This chapter also explains why these phases have to be embedded within the iterative cycles of reflection-for-action, reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action. It also explains how the analysis of actor interfaces could enable us to critically engage with the adaptation process.
