- building the capacity for joined up thinking to improve decision-making and innovation
- creating organisational agility and resilience in a changing world by building the capacity to respond to early signals
- preventing the loss of value and opportunity when lessons aren’t learnt or valuable knowledge isn’t available to those who need it.
