Start Something

Turn an idea into something ASG can test, develop, and launch.

You do not need to have everything figured out. Choose the pathway that is closest to what you are trying to accomplish.

What are you starting?

Turn a question or problem into an applied research or action-research initiative with partners and intended users.

Turn an issue, opportunity, or learning need into an action-oriented fellowship.

Move from an initial idea to a defined project with objectives, partners, resources, and next steps.

Develop a platform for sustained collaboration, experimentation, research, and action around a challenge or field.

Help the ecosystem of institutions and stakeholders become more connected and adaptive.

Develop a workshop, convening, conference, or distributed event from concept through delivery and follow-through.

Develop an enduring working group within an area or thematic area.

Have an idea that does not fit an existing pathway?

Use AI to explore the idea, clarify what you are trying to accomplish, and identify the closest ASG pathway.

Explore with AI →

1. Choose a pathway
Start with what you are trying to accomplish.

2. Follow the paved portion
Use proven steps, templates, examples, AI tools, and ASG resources to get most of the work done.

3. Exercise judgment
Not everything should be standardized. Adapt the pathway when your situation requires it.

4. Share what you learn
If the pathway does not fit, tell us what was different. Your experience can help improve the pathway for everyone.

Pave the routine. Illuminate the complex. Protect the adaptive.
