Multisolving is the practice of bringing people together across sectors and silos to address multiple challenges—such as climate change, equity, health, and biodiversity—through a single, well-designed action or policy. It recognises that our most pressing problems are interconnected, and that the most effective responses are too.
For cultural creatives and community changemakers, Multisolving offers both a mindset and a method. It encourages us to design interventions that generate co-benefits across social, ecological, and economic systems—rather than choosing between competing priorities. This approach helps build trust, deepen collaboration, and increase the impact of our work by making visible how diverse needs can be met through shared action.
The FLOWER Tool
A key tool for exploring and visualising multisolving is the FLOWER diagram. FLOWER—Framework for Long-term, Overlapping, Win–Enabled Results—helps map out the multiple co-benefits of a project, policy, or investment. It also prompts reflection on how equitably those benefits are shared. The visual format makes it easier to communicate the interconnected value of initiatives and to spark conversation across sectors and communities.
Multisolving helps us ask:
What problems does this address—directly and indirectly?
Who benefits? Who might be left out?
How can we amplify and share the benefits more equitably?
