Implementation Inputs for a New Economy

Structured evaluation & learning in the New Economy field

This background note for the Evaluation & Learning Cohort project looks at publicly available evidence of structured evaluation and learning in the New Economy field. Across 77 New Economy initiatives with systemic or global mission statements, no self-published evaluation assessments could be found regarding organisations’ own work.

The original goal of the website review, carried out in September and October of 2026, was to identify emerging shared capacity challenges at the level of individual New Economy organisations. While this descriptive finding requires extensive further research, it raises initial questions around learning and adaptiveness in New Economy organisations.

The Evaluation & Learning Cohort – New Economy (ELC), designed in partnership with Collaborative Impact, provides a structured space and process for a small, time-bound Cohort of New Economy organisations to voluntarily have their individual work independently evaluated.

The first Cohort aims to launch as a pilot in Q1 2027. Organisations with potential interest are invited to contact Max on mheywood@eps.institute for an introductory call and presentation with the project leads.

A Transition Goal proposal – EPSI background paper

The EPSI background paper proposes a Transition Goal – “Transformational Political Movements gain executive and legislative power in a critical mass of countries through democratic elections” – and summarises the findings that led to it.

For the Transition to happen in practice, gaining and sustaining political power is a bridge that must be crossed. Drawing on work from political scientists and recommendations in New Economy landscape reports, the paper suggests the Transition Goal as a step towards more specific national-level goals.

The New Economy field has a large number of resources ready to help shape the future, from popular policy proposals to active networks and coalitions. If they can be combined with effective models for 21st century mobilisation and electoral campaigning, the race to that bridge can still be won.

The book gave me structure and clarity I’d been missing for years. It’s practical, encouraging, and feels written by someone who’s been there.
