Facilitating Change^™

Designing and facilitating social and organizational change

“If you bring the appropriate people together in constructive ways with good information, they will create authentic visions and strategies for addressing the shared concerns of the organization or community.”
- David Chrislip, The Collaborative Leadership Fieldbook

“The organizing unit of the 21st century is the network”
- Andrew Zolli, futurist

Are you working to:
…meet pressing human needs?
…ensure human and civil rights?
…protect the environment and reverse global climate change?
…educate the next generation of citizens and leaders?
…pursue peaceful solutions to violent conflicts?
…improve the health and well-being of vulnerable or oppressed people?
…dismantle racism or other forms of oppression?
…change the world in other ways large and small?

Then you know first hand that it takes more than the focused and passionate efforts of individual organizations to have broad-based and sustained impact. It takes a diverse network of organizations and individuals joined by a common commitment, shared vision and coordinated strategy.

In the three-day workshop Facilitating Change® you will learn the skills, tools, and frameworks you need to design and facilitate a change initiative that results in a network capable of greater social impact than you can achieve on your own.

Learn how to: * guide groups through a carefully designed process for bringing about change in communities or on specific issues

• coach leaders and change agents to make the case for change and take a collaborative approach to moving the change effort forward

• conduct a stakeholder analysis to ensure full participation

• design a collaborative planning process to develop a shared vision and strategies for collective action

• nurture and strengthen the emerging network

• set the network up for successful implementation of its plan.
