This exploratory working paper sets out our latest learning about systems change. It explores new ways we can evolve as an organisation – and as a sector – to become a stronger force for change. It asks us to go beyond surface fixes and find deeper leverage points that can trigger transformative change. Also check out the interactive Systems Leadership essay for more on this topic.
