Expertise and Valorisation Management (EVM) approaches complex social issues in a multidisciplinary manner. The social challenges we face, such as climate change, robotisation and limitations in economic growth are 'wicked' in nature: there is no single problem, let alone a single solution. The Expertise Management Methodology (EMM) provides a framework in which stakeholders from different backgrounds and with different, often opposing world views, search for solutions that have the broadest support. Using this methodology, knowledge gained from research is analysed and stored in a common place. Based on EMM, the social theory of a sustainable, learning society was developed. This social theory describes a process of bringing about reasoned, desirable and culturally feasible changes with a lasting impact.
EMM and the social theory are described in the on-line book We Got to Move.

We live in a complex world that seems to become even more complex due to man-made and natural, large-scale disruptions such as globalization, climate change and robotization. Although the challenges we face may be global, we can face them by starting out locally with relatively small initiatives, which can then evolve into larger movements. In order to do so, we have to reconstruct shared meaning to agree on the direction we should take. In retrospect, not every initiative and/or direction taken will prove to be right. But ‘mistakes’ are also something to learn from. The point is, we got to move.
