About this ebook

“This Could…” is a guide to unlocking the potential of existing objects, materials, skills, and all resources to increase resourcefulness, make the most of available assets, and help build a resilient future.

The book features Six Steps for How to Do More with What You Have: a 50-page section of insight, examples and worksheets to transform available resources into platforms of possibility.

The result of decades of Scott Burnham’s work with cities, organizations, and institutions around the world to do more with their existing resources, “This Could…” is a handbook for individuals, innovators, and entrepreneurs who want to create real-world solutions without consuming additional resources.
