Our world is begging
for transformation…
Why change now?
We have witnessed a crisis in nearly every strata of society—health, education, economic breakdown, climate disaster and race, class and gender injustice. We must go beyond bailing out unworkable systems and create viable humane alternative institutions, ideologies, and practices. There is an urgent need and a precious opportunity to build a new social and economic paradigm.
What we do
We partner with you to build alternatives to the institutions, organizational structures, and ideologies as needed to achieve bold systemic change now. In the process of creating change, we seek to heal and transform the thinking and practices that created this crisis. We do this for larger institutions and more far-reaching social change agendas and specifically for organizations, communities, and individuals.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
—Albert Einstein
How we do it
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, services or innovations. 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.
We employ a comprehensive skill set.
This 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 based approach. We can bring in the healing and creative arts to add depth and meaning.
We get results—measurable change is embraced by all.
In the words of Katherine Crowley, Co-owner of K Squared Enterprises: “Linda Provenza, founder of Strategies for Change, is a pioneer in the field of democracy-based organizational and political change 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.”
We embrace a new paradigm for change.
We challenge our clients and ourselves to transcend arbitrary limits and achieve what others say is not possible, and to adopt a new paradigm of thinking, interacting, and creating together. We are committed to facilitating deep change at this crucial moment in our history.
“At the knife edge of uncertainty is where we come alive to our truest power.”
