Overview

Here's how to make purposeful system change happen!The world faces a multitude of crises that demand transformative changes in how we live and do business. Yet a core question is...how to make purposeful transformation happen? Catalyzing Transformation shows the way through: Innovative organizing processes that anyone can use to catalyze purposeful whole system transformational change for a better world. How transformation catalysts work to organize purposeful, self-aware transformation systems that can tackle complex systemic challenges. Three processes—connecting (seeing, understanding, and making sense of the system), cohering (co-creatively developing shared goals and action plans), and amplifying (implementing, evaluating, and elaborating effective transformative action). Design guidelines for leaders stewarding change efforts in context-appropriate ways. Whether you catalyze social changer, responsible businesses, activists, policymakers, or students of change, Catalyzing Transformation can help!
