CPL THEORY OF CHANGE
Peter Block says he “would like to have a place where ideas matter. Where doubts are valued. Where uncertainty is embraced.”
"What if, instead thinking of a theory of change being produced from an identified preferred goal or outcome, the focus instead was placed on the way in which a system becomes ready for undetermined change?
Can unforeseen ready-ness be nourished? While linear managing or controlling of the direction of change may appear desirable, tending to how the system becomes ready allows for pathways of possibility previously unimagined."
