Successfully addressing vital social issues — like the movement for racial justice and addressing climate crises — requires large-scale initiatives that address equity, complexity and systems. By understanding how systems changes are occurring, social change actors can see the full spectrum of change that is possible, and gain vital knowledge for strategic development, and ultimately drive more powerful results. This research, supported by the Walton Family Foundation, offers ways of grouping systems change outcomes and helpful ways of thinking about complex social change work.
