PI approach

The Principled Innovation Approach was developed to support a thorough process of innovation that emphasizes moral agency and human flourishing at every turn. When a community comes together to innovate with principles, their process might follow these four distinct phases, intentionally tapping into PI practices throughout. Some practices are inherent to a particular stage as noted in the graphic, while “Engaging multiple and diverse perspectives” and “Reflecting critically and compassionately” are emphasized at every step of the approach. The PI Approach may continue infinitely as a community engages in continuous improvement, and possibly in this exact sequence, although it is more often non-linear and flexible in nature with a community jumping back and forth between stages.
