  1. Plenary session: scaling up and out research Building Block session: Platforms, Networks, Alliances

  2. What is the unique value proposition of this building block / Why do we need this for our CRPs? • Bringing stakeholders/ actors together • Create a dialogue • No boundaries • Address specific questions/ tasks collaboratively with relevant, involved actors • Most CPRs seem to need platforms/ alliances at some point Building block: Platforms, Networks, Alliances

  3. Who is already doing some work around this, how, with what success? • CPWF and ILRI: innovations platforms Building block: Platforms, Networks, Alliances

  4. What are principles/critical success factors/interventions/actions needed to take advantage of this BB? • Platforms need specific tasks, that support a goal • Need for leadership – to catalyze the discussions, involve actors (individual = key) • Ownership by users: address their INTEREST(S) and involve the right users, who believe in the process • Give the time necessary for a platform to work and produce results • Support from comms/K people: advise, facilitate the setup and functionning, identify synergies and best practices (create a format?) Building block: Platforms, Networks, Alliances

  5. Optional What were main discussion points? • Innovation platforms • Use existing platforms vs create ad-hoc platforms – risk of multiplication of platforms • Netwok of platforms • CGIAR is an alliance and CRPs actually work as sub-alliances • Role of comms and KM people to support platforms, networks and alliances Building block: Platforms, Networks, Alliances

  6. Optional What gaps remain and what will be done about it? • Lack of involvement of private sector. How to involve business? What are their interests? • How to address the psychological dimension, i.e. behavior change/ fatalism to get the best out of users? • Clarify the role of comms in supporting platforms: identify the needs, map available resources and capacities within CRPs, identify (and hire?) new profiles needed  need for a mapping and management decision Building block: Platforms, Networks, Alliances
