How can healthcare systems be transformed by reimagining their multiple silos in order to prioritise processes and practises that are more responsive to local, horizontal initiatives? This book examines numerous experiences through a multidisciplinary lens, focusing on particular actors, collectives, and organisational structures. Through this research, the following transformational levers are identified: recognising the legitimacy of the practises of many who are frequently "invisible"; trusting those who are familiar with their intervention territory; investing in methodological support; utilising tools and procedures such as instruments for strategic and managerial discussion; and developing the capacity to absorb innovative ideas and experiences that circulate within the environment.
