This guide introduces you to the Healthy System Indicators, a prototype tool developed by Policy Lab to help communities of policy professionals co-diagnose policy systems they may be working in, and identify how to make changes and move towards healthier systems.

The guide:

• Introduces you to the Healthy System Indicators
• Explains the when, why and how of the Healthy Systems Indicators
• Provides suggestions for first steps using the Healthy System Indicators

The Indicators may be used in any policy area and at any level of governance (local, national, international, internal-to-government, external-to-government and so on). They were conceived in a Policy Lab project which had both significant local and national dimensions.
