INNOVATION
Stanford Social Innovation Review: Dan Heath

Why, and how can systems be reworked to emphasize, and incentivize, "upstream thinking" that heads off issues before they start? This book excerpt discusses the challenges and opportunities of such an approach. (For more on how this relates to the Covid crisis, see A Conversation with Dan Heath).
