CHANGEOLOGY: LES ROBINSON EXPLORES DESIGNING CHANGE PROJECTS

ENVISION THIS: Becoming a change agent who helps people move beyond their comfort zones to co-create inspiring solutions to felt needs in your community—be it family, neighborhood, region, nation, or the globe.

Our guest, Les Robinson has written an inspiring book about designing effective change projects that he calls CHANGEOLOGY. It simplifies a vast body of theory and practice into six principles: buzz, hope, enabling environments, sticky solutions, ‘can do,’ and the right inviter. These are explained with fascinating real-life stories and a look at the hard evidence. The book is written in an easy, accessible style, with plenty of anecdotes and stories.

Les has worked on citizen campaigns in Australia against sand mining, freeways, landfills, and Sydney’s only waste incinerator which sparked his interest in social change. He is now a full time change facilitator, working with government agencies and councils — training, facilitating, and advising practitioners on change programs in areas like health, sustainability, road safety, and emergency management. He runs his own business, Enabling Change. Les Robinson's website is www.enablingchange.com.au.  For ideas and inspirations, you can join the Changeology Discussion Group on LinkedIn.
