Change management
Change management is an approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations to a desired future state.[1] In a project management context, change management may refer to a project management process wherein changes to the scope of a project are formally introduced and approved.[2][3] History[edit] 1960s[edit] Everett Rogers wrote the book Diffusion of Innovations in 1962. 1980s[edit] McKinsey consultant Julien Phillips first published a change management model in 1982 in the journal Human Resource Management, though it took a decade for his change management peers to catch up with him.[4] Robert Marshak credits the big 6 accounting firms and management consulting firms with creating the change management industry when they branded their reengineering services groups as change management services in the late 1980s.[5] 1990s[edit] In 1994, Daryl Conner founded Conner Partners and in 1993, he wrote the book, Managing at the Speed of Change. 2000s[edit] 2010s[edit] Approach[edit]
10 Points On The Science Of Spreading The Word
This piece is from a new PopTech Edition about harnessing social contagion for social good. Visit for more interviews, essays and videos with leading thinkers on this subject. 1. Good deeds are contagious We naturally imitate the people around us, we adopt their ideas about appropriate behavior, and we feel what they feel. Acts of charity are no exception. 2. That same experiment showed that contagious generosity spreads up to three steps through the network (from person to person to person to person), and when we added up all the extra donations that resulted at every step, we found that an extra dollar in giving yielded three extra dollars by everyone else in the network. 3. People are bombarded by information and appeals every day, especially in our newly mobile and tech-centered society, so the effect of any one appeal to do a good deed may get lost. 4. 5. 6. 7.… but don’t overdo it! 8. 9. 10. Everything we do ripples through our network.
5 Characteristics of a Change Agent
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by visualpanic (change agents) – People who act as catalysts for change… In my work through school and organization visits, I have been fascinated to see the correlation between the speed of change and an individual who is “leading” the charge. The schools that have someone (or a group of people) helping to push the boundaries of what can be done in schools seem to move a lot quicker with a larger amount of “buy-in” through the process. As Malcom Gladwell describes in his book, “The Tipping Point“, he states: The success of any kind of social epidemic is heavily dependent on the involvement of people with a particular and rare set of social gifts. Although Gladwell talks about the “Law of the Few” (connectors, mavens, salesman), I do not believe change is solely dependent upon their skills, but also the culture in which they exist. you are in an environment where people do not want to come together. a huge bearing on their success. 1.

¿Qué significa organizarse para lograr el cambio comunitario?¿Por qué participar en la organización comunitaria?¿Cuáles son algunas estrategias efectivas para la organización comunitaria? En la Caja de Herramientas Comunitarias, nuestros autores hablan siempre sobre los diferentes caminos para mejorar nuestras comunidades y sobre cómo realizar todas las tareas, grandes y pequeñas, que hacen que una organización funcione y lo haga bien. A lo largo de toda la Caja de Herramientas ofrecemos sugerencias de lo que consideramos son métodos “apropiados” para enfocar el trabajo comunitario. Una de estas ideas es la organización comunitaria – la noción de que la gente puede y debe reunirse para hablar sobre lo que es importante, y después trabajar juntos para obtener el cambio en sus comunidades. Así, en las próximas páginas (y en las próximas secciones) haremos justamente esto. ¿Qué significa organizarse para lograr el cambio comunitario? Obtener un conocimiento de la comunidad. En resumen
Changement
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Le changement désigne le passage d'un état à un autre. L'on parlera, selon la nature, la durée et l'intensité de ce passage, d'évolution, de révolution, de transformation, de métamorphose, de modification, de mutation (ie transformation profonde et durable)... Il s'exerce dans des domaines très divers et à des niveaux très divers. Il faut distinguer le changement endogène dû à des causes internes (par exemple; les révolutions politiques), et le changement exogène dû à des causes externes (par exemple, la révolution du téléphone mobile). Le changement suscite chez les humains les réactions les plus diverses, allant de l'espoir le plus fou (thème de l'Apocalypse) jusqu'à la crainte, voire la phobie[réf. souhaitée]. Les causes théoriques du changement par auteurs[modifier | modifier le code] Nous listerons ici uniquement les auteurs ayant une forte notoriété dont la notion de changement est au centre de leurs œuvres.

This Board Game Is Designed For Activists To Practice Building Movements | Co.Exist | ideas + impact
After living in a converted dumpster for the better part of a year in 2015, Jeff Wilson had an epiphany about tiny-house living: In order to create a small space that could convince people to move out of oversized homes, it might make sense to work with a product designer, not just architects. Wilson, who was known as Professor Dumpster at the time, was an environmental sciences professor at Huston-Tillotson University in Austin who embarked on the dumpster experiment as a commentary on the sustainability benefits of living small. He left academia to launch Kasita, a startup that now has a design for a sleek, very un-dumpster-like tiny home. The design was led by a product designer. "When you live in a 33-square-foot dumpster, you don't get to have unusable space," Wilson tells Co.Exist. The new Kasita home is much larger than a dumpster—350 square feet—but nearly eight times smaller than an average American house. The human-centered design makes the tiny size livable.

Theory of Change
There has been increasing interest around the world in the role that inclusive businesses, which engage and benefit the global poor, can play in the fight against the problems of poverty. However, disappointingly few of these have achieved the scale required to make a significant difference. An analysis of over 400 such firms in Africa showed that a mere 13% of them had begun to scale. Now, in Beyond the Pioneer: Getting Inclusive Industries to Scale, our colleagues at Monitor Inclusive Markets share new findings that explain why this is the case, along with recommendations for how these problems can be overcome. This post was first published on PhilanTopic. As philanthropy has gotten more strategic over the last decade, many foundations have begun to lose their appetite for risk and experimentation. “Systemic challenges can’t be solved by visionary leaders alone.
Theory of Change: A Collaborative Tool? ? Social Edge
We all have a whole boatload of different theories of change: change happens when the heart is deeply moved (people feel the injustice of racism) or when law demands it (Lyndon B. Johnson signs the Civil Rights Act in 1964), change happens better when you are seduced into it than when you are threatened into it, or vice versa, there are views that say it takes a hero (Martin Luther King) or that heroes are irrelevant (the tides of history theory) — dozens of opinions and points of view. And then there is The Theory of Change. Let’s not get into the argument as to how change happens unless we have to — this event is about The Theory of Change — and I learned about it via the wonderful Beth Kanter (picture here) and she pointed me to this background info. The Theory of Change is a methodology, designed to create the kind of change social entrepreneurs are interested in. • Identifying long-term goals and the assumptions behind them Heady stuff. • What is your experience? • Liberate you?
