Check out our latest article, The Relational Work of Systems Change, published today in the Stanford Social Innovation Review. By calling on our sector to invest our collective energy in more relational and emergent approaches to transforming systems, we are merely naming what many of us already know: the ways we currently collaborate are simply not up to the magnitude of the task given the complexity of the social and environmental problems we are trying to address. To get to more radical outcomes, we need more radical ways of working together. It is both as simple and as hard as that.

Collective Change Lab has assembled a group of storytellers from across the globe to launch the Systems Storytelling Initiative.

Hailing from different cultures, backgrounds and sectors, these amazing individuals have joined forces with us in a Community of Practice to explore different ways we can tell stories that are reflective of how social change actually happens. Over the coming months, we will be unpacking the elements of storytelling to discover more creative ways of revealing systems and bringing them to life, engaging with multiple perspectives, and embracing complexity.

Introducing the Systems Storytelling Initiative

This month, we are launching the Systems Storytelling Initiative. We’re focusing on how collectives tell stories of systems change - not just the change that we seek, but the ways we do it together.

Through the course of this project, we aim to identify non-dominant techniques for storytelling that will foster collective meaning-making in more relational and productive ways for collective change.
