STICKE gives communities and teams the tools to solve hard problems and build strategy together.

Communities and teams are jam-packed with experts offering a unique and valid perspective through lived experiences, innate knowledge and valuable insights. STICKE brings these experts together to reveal the bigger picture of a complex problem, so they can decide on a plan of action for long-lasting change.

But complex problem solving requires more than just multiple heads in a room. The STICKE software unites communities and teams under a clearly defined common goal and empowers them to find a solution. Everyone has a voice and, together, they can develop a shared understanding of the challenges and possible solutions. Feedback loops allow real connection and engagement to solve problems faster, together.

Using STICKE has helped communities around Australia and the world develop local strategies to address complex problems like obesity prevention, drug use and family violence.

Confronting Obesity: Co-creating policy with adolescents

CO-CREATE aims to directly engage young people in the formulation and prioritisation of policy options to prevent childhood obesity. CO-CREATE teams around the world are using STICKE in their work with adolescents to map out the key drivers of obesity, capturing the lived experience and expertise of young people. These obesity system maps are then used as the basis for further discussion and consideration of the kinds of policies that could halt the growth of childhood obesity in Europe.

CO-CREATE is funded by the EU Horizon 2020 prevention scheme and delivered by 14 partner institutions across Europe, Australia, the USA and Africa.

‘STICKE is helping us capture the voices of young people, and ultimately to present their perspectives and recommendations to policy makers, helping ensure that policy responses to obesity are developed with young people, rather than merely for them,’ says Professor Harry Rutter, CO-CREATE’s co-principal investigator.

"STICKE is a fantastic tool. It provides a clear and easy to use environment for engaging with stakeholders, and fully engages them in the process of developing causal maps. It has made our job in CO-CREATE much easier, and improved the experience for the young people who have so generously provided their time to help with our research."
