Cultivating the Field of Systems Change
With amplifying existing systemic failures, it continues to feel important to come together as facilitators of systems change and sense into what is important for us to tend to now and going forward as a collective, emerging field.
Academy Programs Director, Marta Ceroni, has been collaborating with 30 capacity builders in the field of systems change to explore what it really takes to engage with the work of change at a deeper level. Their published report, Convening The Capacity Builders, aims to support systems leaders around the world. It covers key emerging themes in the field, including healing systems, centering equity, learning about learning and responding to disruptive change.
Systems change is emerging as a pathway of hopeful action across the world. Governments, NGOs, and the private sector are buzzing about the need for it. But what does it take to really do it, what’s needed to realize the promise of this field, and how might we best support emerging and practicing system leaders globally?
