Our approach is grounded in sustained field experience. It has developed through years of practice supporting place-based Shared Agendas in areas such as health and care, food systems, energy transitions and territorial resilience.
We work with institutions, organisations and professionals to organise collective action in response to place-based social, environmental and economic challenges that cannot be addressed through isolated initiatives or short-term, project-based coordination. Addressing these challenges requires governance arrangements able to hold, over time, the interdependent decisions and actions of actors with different mandates.
Our work is oriented towards strengthening the resilience of place-based social, environmental and economic systems within planetary boundaries. This requires changes in socio-technical systems — the configurations of practices, infrastructures, rules and decision processes through which systems such as food, energy, mobility, health, education and care are organised — across both rural and urban contexts.

Our approach to the organisation of collective action is the design and implementation of Shared Agendas. Our focus is on how collective effort is structured over time in concrete places: how roles and responsibilities are distributed, how decisions are connected and revisited, how resources are mobilised, and how experience and evidence are interpreted to adjust direction and action.

Working with Shared Agendas involves supporting actors to:
We work with companies, investors, public administrations, development agencies, civic actors, and universities and research organisations engaged in place-based transformation.
We engage with actors who are seeking to strengthen the resilience of place-based social, environmental and economic systems within planetary boundaries, and who, in their efforts to sustain collective action and shared direction over time, have encountered the limits of fragmented initiatives, short decision cycles and project-based approaches.
Public administrations and development agencies influence the conditions under which collective action takes place through policies, regulations, norms and public instruments.
We work with them to rethink how these conditions are shaped, so that they do not constrain collective action and instead enable the emergence and consolidation of alternatives to current unsustainable practices in specific places.
Investors, development finance institutions and philanthropic actors shape place-based collective processes through their investment decisions, time horizons and return expectations. When these decisions are organised primarily through project-by-project and short-term financial-return-oriented logics, they constrain the capacity of collective processes to evolve beyond dominant practices and to engage with uncertainty, interdependence and longer-term change dynamics.
Our work engages with these actors to connect investment decisions to place-based collective processes for systemic change, so that capital can interact with collective action over time, including the exploration of shifts in territorial specialisation, the reconfiguration of value chains and alternative forms of governance that strengthen environmental, social and economic resilience.
Companies play a central role in place-based transformation through their practices, their interaction with other actors, the organisation of value chains, and investment decisions in specific territories. How these decisions are taken and aligned affects economic performance as well as environmental and social conditions over time.
We work with companies to connect innovation, investment and partnership decisions to the configuration and evolution of value chains, shifting them towards more regenerative and equitable models over time.
Universities and research organisations contribute knowledge and analytical capacity that inform place-based collective transformation processes. Their work helps question the viability of dominant practices, make visible the costs of maintaining business as usual, and surface opportunities associated with alternative options in specific contexts. They also play an important role in engaging students and early-career researchers, connecting learning and professional development to place-based collective challenges.
We work with universities and research organisations to connect research, training and evaluation activities to ongoing collective efforts in a territory, so that knowledge production and learning inform how problems are understood, how options are assessed, and how collective decisions evolve over time.
Civic actors are embedded in local practices, communities and everyday contexts in which place-based problems are experienced and negotiated. Their experience provides insight into how current practices affect people on the ground and how proposed alternatives interact with social realities in specific places.
We work with civic actors to bring this situated knowledge into collective transformation processes, strengthening shared problem framing and ensuring that lived experience informs how priorities are set, initiatives are related, and collective action is coordinated over time.

The SharedAgendas.org team brings together professionals with experience in organising collective action in contexts characterised by uncertainty, interdependence and distributed responsibility, working across public administration, civic and research settings.
Our work combines facilitation, coordination and governance practice with applied research and methodological development. It is grounded in real-world place-based collective processes focused on strengthening the resilience of social, environmental and economic systems within planetary boundaries. We work with actors to articulate and sustain a shared direction of change in these contexts, relating portfolios of action to that direction and organising monitoring and learning over time.
