The world is begging for transformation
At Strategies for Change, we are uniquely equipped to partner with you to build alternatives to the institutions, organizational structures, ideologies and practices in order to achieve bold systemic change needed now.
We do this for larger institutions and more far reaching social change agendas and specifically for organizations, communities, and individuals. In the process of creating change, we seek to heal and transform the thinking and practices that created this crisis. As Albert Einstein said: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Our approach is systemic, inclusive, and innovative. We help bring all the stakeholders into the room to deeply explore, vision, create and pilot new systems in any sector it does not matter. We create a dynamic and inclusive change process in which all parties participate and collectively achieve results. Bold systemic change is creatively built by all parties.
Our comprehensive skill set enables us to lead or join your project at any level—large scale system change, implementation of change, and on the ground culture change—all done using a collaborative and relationship building approach. We can bring in the healing and creative arts to add depth and meaning.
We get results—measurable change is embraced by all parties
“Linda Provenza, is a pioneer in the field of democracy-based organizational and political change and because everyone participates, the decisions made, and new systems devised have 100 percent buy-in. Solutions are reached by catalyzing people’s sense of personal power, group responsibility, and community leadership.” The results have been astounding often exceeding their original intent.”
