Abstract
High climate variability and the ongoing impacts of climate change are increasing the complexity of decision-making in grazing land management across Australia and many other countries. These challenges highlight the growing need for innovative solutions to support climate adaptation. One such initiative is the Long Paddock, a digital platform developed by the Grazing Land Systems (GLS) team within the Queensland State Government. As a pioneering digital solution, Long Paddock integrates climate data, scientific models and other critical digital infrastructure to support decision-making for grazing community and other related stakeholders. This teaching case introduces the Long Paddock platform and reports its innovation journey. It examines key challenges encountered by the GLS team in developing and sustaining the platform, and outlines the strategies the team employed to address different tensions that emerged throughout the innovation process. This case is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students in Information Systems, as well as executive managers and policymakers, to provide insights into how digital platform innovation can be leveraged to address complex sustainability challenges.
