 Inadequate Evidence base – HELM Best practice  Reluctance to facilitate and lead collective action  Globally lumpy political influence  Resources – time, money  Voluntary base  Lack of willingness to collaborate with others  Fear of disruption of past strengths and status quo  Governance  Competition  Lack of risk-taking culture/conservatism  Lack of skillset for novel, agile and adaptive mindset  Lack of skillset for virtual collaboration  Philosophical intent  Focus on wellbeing – social and emotional intelligence  Transdisciplinary – capacity to enable and participate in coalitions  Vehicle - Home economics literacy – Essential elements and Areas of practice  Passion and commitment  Global reach  Revival (“Bring back home economics”)  Growth, innovation and design mindset  Transformative pedagogy focus
